I participated in ship wars around this manga only a few times, half of which were either responses to other people’s “analysis” (like the legendary ship wars over "streamer girlfriend joke"), or responses to aggressive “ship manifestos” addressed to me with arguments like “there are no male love interests, so they are lesbians by default and everyone who denies this is degenerate" (such selectivity gives me some thoughts, but I have neither the time nor the desire for this). But with people like you, it seems to be complemented by a new type of "I'm a few months/years/generations too late for this discussion, so is it okay to start over for me?" Dude, right now you're the only supporter in this thread that died a few months ago. There won't be any arguments about the ship here without you.
