not really, I just fucking hate when authors start introducing romance to the entire supporting cast in their stories because fuck main characters and their actual relationship developments, amirite?
It just feels like a wasted chapter to me when most of its time/space is giving to supporting characters that may end up fruitless when the manga gets axed or finishes normally.
I'm all for this ship tbh. The accent took me by surprise, but I'm glad the end note was there to clarify because I felt like I must have missed something
