AmiXKaede– kind of my OTP right now, tbh. Their relationship breaks  a lot of customs for manga relationships: for one thing the two rescue scenes churning in my head for later in time.

IkuoXMakoto– Because I do a little. Icky, for me, could actually pair with any of the characters, to different degrees. I don’t have an OTP for him r/n but this is cute in my mind.

JikkiXMakoto- because, as I said in another post, Ji gets a bit of a crush on him. This realtionship would be super awkward though, since Viva has mentioned seeing Makoto as gay where Ji is heterosexual but trans.Still, if character developement were to work out, they seem like they might be p cute.

JikkiXIkuo- Because he is a big strong man and basically Jikki’s type. They’re really good friends and part of a band, so Icky gets to see another side of Ji that even Kaede rarely sees. I like them as friends more so, tbh. 

KaedeXMakoto– mainly I see them as friends. I don’t think they would make a great romantic pair, personally, but I do think they care for each other.

AmiXMakoto- another friend thing, though Ami probably intimidates Makoto a lot based on how loud he is. I don’t see them meshing romantically thus far.

I will update if more characters get tossed into the mix.
