Theyre written as to compliment each other very well.
I get the feeling she isnt entirely self aware that she likes him and is going to go through that cliche of realizing her own feelings. At least she is very forward with him immediately lets him know so thats probably gonna happen rather quickly.
Souma seems to be very suceptible to her advances so its only a matter of time before she completely takes over. Bro is under siege and hasnt even closed the gate yet!
Oh they definitely are written to compliment each other, which is great to see.
But, I would disagree with you on whether she knows she likes him...I definitely think she does. She is being aggressive with him and only him (no one else), she pouts when he doesn't use her first name, she teases him and loves the reactions, she gets up close with him, she gives him detailed responses on how his sweets taste....she is most definitely into him and knows what she wants. She just also seems to be having way too much fun watching him react lol.

what the heckThe most recent TLed novel chapters have them engaging in forced light bondage play in front of elementary school kids (one of whom develops a taste for that kink play as well), so this is a nice bit of innocent refreshment in comparison.
