chapter 157Am I amnesiac or did we get any background on who the lucky husband is? I remember Koshigaya being pressured to go on marriage meetings by her dad or something, but did we ever see how she actually feels about all this?
The ending has been stretched out for nearly half a dozen chapters, so it's not really "already". The series has been running a bit low on steam and it was pretty clear the author meant to wrap everything up with the conference battle. He's just taking his sweet time getting to the actual end (not as bad as Hokkaido Gal, but... 🤷)"Final chapter"? This is ending already?
I'm guessing here because I don't know the author's actual intentions, but I have a feeling they just wanted to add some sort of formulaic romantic subplot/clearly show that this isn't a yuri/yuri bait manga. Authors often do this to show that they're actually developing a friendship/cooperation theme, so as not to mislead the audience.chapter 157
he's a regular joe schmo that she found interesting
not much of a background
he's a simple man

It's kind of funny now to read the discussions of that chapter or look at how much more text there is to describe their relationship on the fandom wiki, lmao. But seriously, it seems like some writers realize that people will ship their "superfriends" with each other, so they'll either introduce a formal side love interest for one of them or make a short romantic subplot to close it out. The rest depends on the series and the author's skills. Because sometimes the fandom is too obsessed with ships, sometimes the author is too ridiculously clear with their attempt to give someone a couple so that "someone stops being gay".Any yuribait was always TsuchibaxKana-chi in my book(ordering tbd)
If anything, I would have pegged Koshigaya's in-house partner as poor Niko. Opposites attract and all that. I rather enjoyed that the author chose to break the usual tropes and give her a spouse that isn't part of the cast, and to leave the true romance to the childhood friends. Inbred romances tend to have declining rewards once a story starts leaning on them.
...maybe pegged isn't the right word to use there![]()
