I guess what Suiren meant there is for them to work things out slowly since after all, they still love each other. It isn’t really resolved yet and it seems to be a work in progress. In a way, Atohira is right that there has to be communication for the other to know what the other thinks/feels, and still mutually liking each other is a factor to still want to go steady. In a way, yes, it is troublesome since in a relationship, one can no longer think only for oneself and do what one wants without thinking of the other. For now, Kawasumi isn’t willing to cut back any karate time but then, he is starting to have doubts that Suiren is still happy with him being like this. Of course, the latter is somewhat resolved in that moving rain scene hug..and honestly, I almost thought he is going to kiss her. ^^;; Ya, she's taking the initiative again. Suiren still wants to be with him and he assured her that he is there for her. Suiren seems to hope to be more understanding over this, which is probably what that maturity she mentioned, is all about, but still, there is that lonely feeling that cannot be avoided since she doesn’t have a lot of time with him. About the not talking in class, I guess Kawasumi really doesn’t want to do anything that will cause a commotion and make Suiren uneasy. Checking a few chapters, it seems that Suiren doesn’t like it being the center of attraction especially with guys so if Kawasumi talks or anything with her, the focus would immediately be on Suiren. Even after the Ferris Wheel ride, everyone is making a fuss that her friends have to take her to the side. Whether Suiren is now okay about not talking in class because of what Kasumi said, isn’t quite conclusive. Maybe the maturity is also for Kawasumi not to make a fuss about the fanboys? And, in the end, it does seem that Suiren recalls all their times together and still find them glittering so I guess, she is hopeful about their relationship and not let these ‘obstacles’ hinder them because in time, they’ll resolve them. In a way, it is nice that the mangaka isn’t dragging things but I somewhat felt that the scenes are skipping a bit and not thoroughly shown/explained so the readers would just have to fill in the blanks. ^^; Anyway, it is summer time and maybe the kiss will happen there. Hopefully, they’ll resolve a bit their issues, too. Scans by all★wink汉化组
