Nah, at this point I think Ippo could make a move on her without Mashiba raising much of an objection. He's more or less accepted them as a couple now, especially after Itagaki's lecture (the only useful thing Itagaki has ever done). It's Ippo/Morikawa who isn't ready for a relationship now, which sucks because Kumi deserves much better than a wishy-washy Miyata-obsessed guy like that. I bet if she dumped him he'd be much less hurt than he was when Miyata cancelled their match.
