I agree with everything you say! It’s just that when I care about something so much, I try not to get my hopes up too high and thus think almost strictly logically about it as my way of coping...So I try and remind myself that Zenyuki is what started it all and is the relationship that is stated by the characters to be romantic in nature. Though deep down I don’t actually care about those things and would accept whatever plot devices needed to make obiyuki happen haha.

They really do have the most developed and fleshed out relationship and I love it so much?!! And they’ve gone through so many of my favorite ship tropes it’s not even funny! Enemies to friends (to lovers)?✔ Think it’s unrequited?✔ He only ever calls her by her nickname so when he uses her real name you know it’ll be big?✔ Bodyguard falling for their ward?✔ Her looking forlornly out the window in worry when he’s gone?✔ Child they take care of?✔ Everyone just assumes they’ll be able to find one if they find the other?✔ A simple gift that became a treasure?✔ All of the hand symbology?!!✔ And now even fake dating?!! I just can’t with them.

Sorry this took forever to answer, I just really struggled as I have so much to say about them that I didn’t want to accidentally type up a 5 page essay lol.

Oh, ya know, just living the quarantined life as best I can lol. At least I have an essential job I can do from home, so I’m grateful for that. I want to be more active on Tumblr again, but trying to kick my pain med addiction makes me tired all the time with migraines 🙄 Nothing serious, just hadn’t realized how dependent I’d become on the stuff I took to deal with the whiplash and injuries from my accident. Lesson learned 😩 Life could be worse, considering the state of the world out there, that’s for sure...

Hope all my followers are doing well though!! 😘❤️

I honestly have no clue what’s going on ʅ(-_-)ʃ

But I can see him becoming a demon or seraph(more fully) here. He did explode though, which as far as I’m aware, hasn’t happened before. However he has had some similarities to Mahiru, it could be a Mahiru or Yu situation, cuz I highly doubt he’s dead. If he is though, we’ve already been introduced to the concept of bringing people back from the dead, so there’s that. As to whether that’s a fate worse than death, who can say?

Don’t know what happened but I wasn’t alerted when I got asks?! So sorry for the late responses. (Though let’s be real, that’s nothing new with me lol)

Anyways, you’re welcome. I always try to be as factual as possible when it comes to these things. And in this case, it’s not hard as I don’t particularly care either way about the ship. But then I realized some people misunderstood as I didn’t give a deeper explanation, this my second post. I think the biggest thing that bothered me into making the post is that people are selectively interpretating lines and cherry picking translations based not on what makes the most sense, but on what they want the relationship to be, and I don’t think that’s right.

But who knows where the relationship will go, or if it will even go anywhere seeing as Mika’s dead. (Still don’t belive that myself though lol) like you said, this is published in a shounen magazine after all.
