manga romance surprises
2018-05-27 23:38Tonight I caught on several months of issues of a few manga titles, and come to think of it they all had romantic developments, but two were amusing.
In manga 1, Boy and Girl confessed quite some time ago, with even some kissing. They're on a very slow burn toward anything more for class reasons, though. Boy was having a cold but hiding it to avoid a fuss. Girl got them into a private space, was obviously skeptical, and said "If you don't have a fever, let's kiss." Boy doesn't want to get her sick, so bluff called. But it was amusingly direct of her... in character for any other topic, but I don't recall her being that blunt about their smoldering romance.
In manga 2, Boy and Girl had not confessed. Girl had overhead about Boy having a fiancee. Boy got tired of being in a romantic comedy, possibly in so many words, and ripped the bandaid off. In front of their intimate traveling companions. *fwoomp*
In the same manga, a different Boy and Girl are just friends, really. But the palace staff think they're lovers, which is a relief to them ("our king isn't gay! there might be an heir!") and fewer eligible women are being pushed at Boy. Honestly, Boy might be asexual for all we can tell so far.
