Topic for just that: discussing the hows, whys, and WTFs of mysterious drool bonds.
What we know now (chapter 34):
1. Bond is an act of synchronisation of body conditions (and thoughts and images going through subject's head) upon exchanging saliva, no matter how fresh.If exchange of other bodily fluids has this effect is unknown.
EDIT: It appears that tasting bodily fluids makes effect work. No matter what fluids.

2. Bonds can form between people mutually in love, or between subjected to some mutual "destiny".

3. Bonds seems to imply sexual attraction between subjects.

4. Kisses somehow don't invoke this effect, though maybe shown kisses were too short for it to take place.

So far we've seen 3 bonds appearing: Urabe/Tsubaki, . Two of them follow a common pattern, one doesn't, and it's the most interesting. What's the basis of bond?

That made me think of ecchi things XP ah well...



I always assumed it was a bond of friendship, and that the magical spit bond thing could be done with any peoples with whom you form a deep relationship...or something. But I didn't really think too hard on it, so...XP

Chapter 35 brought us new revelations. Apparently
This goes in line with my theory that she is bisexual, and not pursues Urabe seriously because:
1. They are both already in relationships with other people.
2. Urabe does not appear to be interested, at least right now.
3. This one is tricky and may be wrong - there is a belief in Japan that "serious relationship" is possible only between man and woman, and anything other then that is just child's play. Or so I heard.

Actually, in volume 3, on page 43, he licks her sweat and (continuing on to page 44) he get an imagery of Urabe in her bikini at the ocean. On page 45 Tsubaki hypothesizes that the effects are also transferable through her sweat.

this is rather fun! i came to this thread in hopes of talking about the scientific posibility of this but this is more fun!

I think I may have an idea as to why kissing does not seem to convey emotion like drool does.



I can imagine that if sweat is just as effective as drool, then any other bodily fluid would probably produce a similar or even stronger effect. My biggest question, however, is why Urabe will not let Tsubaki touch her without permission. Does that do the same thing to her as drool or something?

In on of the earlier chapters . So I'm guessing that's why he can't just hug her. She might be more sensitive to his secretions than he is to hers.
