Book 5 follows the story as they
are a couple and the only reason you know they are a couple it's because everyone says so and they say so. They didn't change anythnig, almost anything and basically no extra steps were given. Amane turns out to be a possessive boyfriend, scary cat and afraid to take extra steps. First of all he doesn'ts let Mahiru dress the way she wants, when she boughts a swimming suit. He complains and she has to wear a jacket or else the other people will see her. Then the all nakenedess stuff, even the small glimpse of cleavage is too much for him. Kisses? What is that? No no... we are dating for weeks, probably months but no kissing. So how can you consider yourself a couple? Couple is more than holding hands. Amane wants to get stuff done slow... so slow to non-existent steps... It's absurd. And Mahiru sure looks like she just accepts him, my god she even hints that maybe some stuff must be quicker? Amane says no no ... are you a nun?
I learn that sleeping the same bed (Amane's parents do) is seen as progressive because some sleep in separate beds (maybe sleeping together will help increase your birthrate?) . Japan is a strange place.. I've read only 40% of couples sleep on the same bed. If that's due to size of the house I understand but apart from that makes no sense. Japan in one hand has this books and animes that makes men idiots that the thought of kissing a girl or seeing a cleavage makes them nosebleed and then they have hentai with squid and rape and so on.. is a place of contradictions and contrasts and I love it for it. It upsets me to see this couples, with 15/18 that don't know how to behave. I read a study that said that 30% of people under 25 never had a boyfriend/girlfriend and around 50% didn't had sex. Then they have of biggest adult industries in the world.... Maybe that's also hindering their sex and couple life? They are so worried with work, school that hentai/av porn substitutes a meaningless relation. It's a s shame Japan is following this path... They should do more romance anime where people are not afraid of showing their feelings - I don't mean doing hentai. I mean romances with actual romance... maybe that would help young teens to have more children ( not as teens of course)
I was disappointed. I thought this would be better than the anime which is an adaptation but alas it was not.
I rate this 4/10. I will not be following the book releases.
