*far too invested*
So because I am a detail nerd, I've been trying to figure out WHEN Saga and Ritsu dated and for how long.
It LOOKS like Ritsu confesses in April (lookit all those sakura petals XD), and then they start some kind of strange relationship that looks mostly sexual and probably pretty one-sided, with Saga more feeling bored and Ritsu being willing.
It seems to continue for a few months; they have sex in the library while it's still warm out, and you can see students in club activities outside (uh that panel's NSFW though btw XD;;), which are at their peak in the summer months. Further, they are still in kind of a "just fooling around" phase of their relationship when Saga must participate in the 三者面談 (parent-teacher-child meeting to discuss college/career choices), and it is only in the wake of his issues with this that he realizes he's falling in love with Ritsu (from Takano Masamune no Baai). According to Wikipedia and most sites I found on a quick browse, these usually take place at the end of the first semester (around July) before summer break in August.
Since they obviously didn't make it to Christmas, I think a three or four(ish)-month-long relationship from April through August or so seems about right for them... Thoughts? If they broke up during summer vacation, it would've been easier for Ritsu to transfer, too.
I'd bring their clothes into this, but Nakamura sucks ass when it comes to drawing guys in season-appropriate wear :P
