'it's up to interpretation' You remind me of Bandai.
I don't remember them having an engagement and then all those rings on their fingers. In any case, it's easier to just wait for some kind of ending than endlessly wasting time arguing about yuri.
Everyone's donning yuri goggles here and I'm just enthralled by the chuunibyou of it all.
It is pretty clear the author wants a yuri route though, I just don't want it to be Akebi. She's for everyone.
It's silly to deny that the author never teased this, but this is the type of manga where people declare every female friend of the female protagonist to be her girlfriend because "they are friendly with each other". If you want, you can, like many others, pretend that Komichi has a yuri harem and not worry about it lol.
The great and magnificent Ian McCulloch once sung: "Who wants love without the lust?" That's what I think when i read this manga.
I need to see those to 69ing
This is how Class S and akogare in general work, Bromance taken to the extreme where it can border on romance but zero sex drive. However, as I said above, it's easier to just wait for further development than to waste time arguing about yuri every time the author publishes a visually rich chapter on character interaction. At least the author is not such a fat troll as KyoAni with their constant romantic metaphors even for the scene where the character passes the eraser to another.
This bait is large enough to catch a shark, Jesus
By Western standards? Very, very much. In Japanese, it is primarily a rich visual language with an iceberg effect. The calculation is that the reader himself will read things as he wants. But this does not mean that there will not be or will be yuri, I have seen so many different bait to realize that everything depends on the author in each case.
