Inu is THE DAWG.
Toyoda was so worried he would be bothered by what she said, and here's Inuyama gushing about the best shaped prefectures
The way I read it, going by expressions, Inu's aware that would be her expectation, so he's specifically making a show of not being bothered, just in case she doesn't want to bring it up directly. He can read and soothe Toyo pretty well, we've seen it before.
Man, he let her off way easier than she did when he misspoke a while back.
To be fair, they doooooon't really have an equal relationship, at least as far as their generally accepted attractiveness goes.
but whom is the best couple?
Toyo/Inu have been the couple keeping this manga afloat by having progress for dozens of chapters now.
Hell yeah, Inuyama! Full-ass that shit! Maybe some actual relationship progress with InuToyo soon? Handholding? Dare I say it, kissing?
My bet would be a kiss at the end of the contest arc (to sweeten the loss).
