With less that 20 chapters to go, it looks doubtful that Chii-chan and Suga-yan will ever become a couple. If Suga-yan ends up permanently friend-zoned (or worse), all of the mangaka's future projects will be added to my do-not-read list. And let's not forget Takase and Kanda (the very first pair that we were introduced to) and the Christmas Eve cliffhanger. Considering how he's treated Kanda, Suga-yan and Motoyama, you'd think the mangaka has a cruel, sadistic vein running through his personality.
