and at the time I was for each chapter anticipating a confession, "oh dear, please let them get to the dating part soon" I thought. But they never did! And so I finished the manga most unsatisfying with reading comments on it beeing an "open ending" and for the reader to interpret the extent of their relationship... So now that I read it again, I did: I think that Takara and Kiyomine probably start dating pretty early. The author hints it, and if you read with those eyes, they say and do a lot of things that doesn't make sense unless you assume that they are dating. e.g the scene where Takara says that they're friends and Kiyomine goes, who're friends? and get really pissed of. etc. I prefer to think that they are dating almost from the beginning, we just don't get to see it. ;)
I read this the first time a couple of years ago,
