IDEK... I thought this was a family-friendly shoujo manga :v

 

Not that it really matters one way or the other, but I think this is actually a shounen title. It's published in Square Enix's GFantasy which carries almost exclusively shounen titles. MU certainly has it as shounen.

 

Oh well, like I said, its demographic doesn't really matter, there's lots of sex in both shoujo and shounen titles. I thought this one was done really well. Very tactful and mature. I mean c'mon, they're not only practically adults but have (both) been presented as being extremely mature as well. So yeah, no surprise really I wouldn't think.

what the hell.. umm chapter 37... Im really tired and kinda skimmed it, i'll have to read it more thoroughly later but can anyone confirm something for me?

SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY::

 

 

umm did they just totally have sex? Seems to be pretty heavily implied unless i just imagined something because im so tired. But she seemed naked in the scene afterward. Very surprising, i thought this was kinda a more light manga, surprised that theyre going more realistic like that. Not disapointed just kinda surprised. Just wondering if thats definitely what happened. The set up for it seemed kinda weak for such a key point in the series

GFantasy has a lot of "Shounen for girls" like Black Butler. It's a pretty weird mag that's sort of not what it seems in terms of demographic. I'd be curious to know how many girls are subscribed to it.

 

This series has two main  characters of different sex and you learn of them through not only them but through their group of friends. I don't know how well it's selling but I feel like it's a great mag for this work to be in.

They did have sex. I guess people are used to the shoujo formula : X chapter, first hand holding, Y chapter First Kiss, Z first passionate kiss, A first grope, B first cockblock, C IT'S SEX TIEMM!!.

 

A lot of shoujo follow this formula in some ways, this is one of the weakness when it comes to the demographic. It really feels like you've read the same romance story over and over. All those "firsts" are probably checkmarks the mangaka does for his work, sort of like a Harlequin romance novel is always the same plot with different name and settings. Shojo tropes are real as it gets.

 

Shounen is even worse, no development for years and finally a kiss at the end, fast forward and children + marriage!

 

 

 

It's good once in awhile to skip the usual formula and go for something that's unique to the couple, so to speak. It makes them feel more real and less of a "character".

Sorry, my mistake. MU does have it listed under "Shounen" and GF publishes both types of manga.

 

TBH, I almost missed it because I wasn't paying attention during reading orz. I don't think it's about the characters being "mature" it just was sudden event because the entire CH was about watching horror movies with your BF/GF. That and it feels like a big upgrade in their relationship that just kinda got glossed over apart from the few pages with the younger brother?

Is that so? I kinda wondered, it's not a publication I've personally seen the name of too often. Frankly this title has a lot of various elements that could easily have me seeing it being classified under any of the four demographics if I didn't actually look it up and see who/what age the publication said it was really targeting.

Oh, I don't disagree with you, I was a bit surprised myself when it first started heading down that road. But let's face it, from a "story" point of view........well geez, he's been up in her house alone with her for a while now, her parents have basically given approval (by not running him off   ) .........so yeah, a bit surprised, but not very. It was a natural thing to happen when you look at it in a "realistic" way. I mean, people like having sex after all.  

[inzaratha]

It was handled better than in many manga actually, more realisticly the way it was just spontaneous.

The beginning of the chapter just got real dark real fast 

i mean i thought he wold have been depressed , but not Suicidal.

[amanayo]

It got very deep very fast

[Syrlhan]

When I read the "Always" of the last page, I got this really bad feeling. Like that "Always" statement was about to break. All I can think now is of scenerios how this could turn into a tragedy, and/or NTR.

[zhaoshike]

My word. So many feels. It hurt seeing them in anguish like that, even if it was brief ;_;

[Reyxe]

Where is the anime adaptation? I WANT ONE. NOW. 

 

Loved both chapters, it was really good when Hori apologized, i would've been mad if she didn't, since most of the male characters would have to forget it without hearing an apology, it was really sweet. 

[zhaoshike]

W-well then. Seems like Hori's a bit of a M

[ObviousCat]

W-well then. Seems like Hori's a bit of a M

Isn't everyone a bit of an M? Or is it just me again?

[Enoshima Junko]

W-well then. Seems like Hori's a bit of a M

 

I think Kyoko's a bit of an M, too. Wanting Miyamura to scold her in the latest chapter like that...

[geogio13]

Reading ch. 46, you just have to go WTF Hori?!  That and the reactions of the former 'classmates' is hilarious.
