That would be an interesting development. Like she learns that Tokio has had feelings for her but she just doesn't reciprocate and Tokio is allowed to finally move on to someone better for him. This chapter is definitely planting seeds for what could be a good arc.I hope that this one resolves with them not becoming a couple. It would be a nice contrast. Not all infatuations pan out or are rewarded. Maybe Chi is asexual. Maybe she’s a lesbian. Maybe she’s straight but just can’t get past knowing him as a little boy and will forever see him as such. Lots of ways it could not work out, and all could make for interesting stories.
It’s an interesting chapter where they’re showing Chii with a bit of an older sister vibe with the cats and how she helped him up in the end. I feel like theirs is going an a dynamic or paradoxical contrasts.Same, I dig the compare/contrast between this ship and the other two. I think it rounds out the manga nicely.
