What happened to the people in the comments section over the course of the hiatus? I remember in the past Evil Queen Misuzu was quite popular, but now I see people hating on her and calling her a bitch. Did all her fans find someone new to fantasize about stepping on them?
As far as the pairing goes, I've always been a fan of it from the beginning. That blind optimism and perseverance no matter how many times she crushes him is an important quality for any man who hopes to be in a relationship with Misuzu. That's why Tomo and the fluff are able to be her friends; she can only get along with people who aren't too similar to her.
