Jirō Confidence
First time posting here! I’m not really experienced in reading manga, but I just finished More Than a Married Couple. In this scene, (chapter 71) Jirou and Akari were in the heat of their “birthday gifts” (kissing), when his study alarm goes off on his phone. Akari tells him that the “rest” is for when they’re really dating. That’s when he says this response shown in the panel. I TOTALLY THEN REALIZED HOW MUCH HE HAS CHANGED. His demeanor is completely different and he isn’t as timid as he used to be. I mean to say that making out with her is fair game straight to her face is REALLY confident. No inner monologues or characters have pointed this change out in a way that made sense to me, but I really really hope any anime adaptations that come in the future do well to show off this confidence change we see in the manga!
