But by the time of Ch. 5 Narumi was already smitten with Haruka, they got together after graduation and had sex some time after that. Haruka also looks older and more mature by the end, they took their time.
I re read that, it took them around half a year to have sex(? Since it was the same day another graduation was being held. IDK how long is high school in Japan, 6 months?
Wouldn't it be a whole year, instead of 6 months??? There is only one graduation per year in High School, since they have academic years and not semesters like in Uni.
In page 6 of ch6, Shirakawa also mentions having waited a whole year.
Idk XD in my country, High School are semesters just like Uni, elementary and middle school do las a year per grade.
I know is japan but idk how school works in Japan , and didn't think about it until now, I just thought about it like it was my own country, sorry xd.
Also Shirakawa comment, I understood it like waiting ever since he fell for Narumi, 6 months since he met him and graduated + 6 months of dating until the next graduation when they finally had sex, thats why it added nicely in my head.
Ohh I see, yeah it would add up of you thought of it since his confession when they first met
But that's super interesting! I never thought there'd be a High School system working on semesters! In my country, the school year is divided in semesters, but that's mostly to better arrange exams and the content of classes; the over-all grade is still per the year (so 2 semesters per grade)
In Japan, that's more or less the case too, although I think they arrange the school year in trimesters instead. You can kinda guess this by the fact they have a vacation midway through (either summer or winter vacation, I always forget), where Shirakawa works part time and has to attend supplementary classes, etc. I don't think that vacation would be given in semester based grades...? But then again, you'd know better than me :p
Anyways sorry for rambling!! Have a good one :]
I'd go with your explanation then, makes far more sense (￣∇￣")
because yeah, some schools in my city have a weird system, I even asked my mom and said the same, the system changed a lot, I even had a friend whose Uni "semester" only lasted 3/4 months, but those are special cases.
Still, we can agree that poor Shirakawa had to be VERY patient with Narumi.
Was reading froom chap 5 then 6... i thought i skipped a hella chaps cause Narumi was firm about having no relationship with shirakawa then in 6, bam kis and sex i was like huhhhhhh
But its cute i wish they didnt rush it too much
