Yeah, I do like Kaguya and Miyuki a lot, but the other 2 are just so entertaining, and add a bit more craziness to the “battles”

2023-06-13 12:41:03 +0000 UTCI'll bet Sophie reacts would be awesome at this series because she's the Ship Detective. She can sniff out a budding ship in about 3 seconds. Because you're right, all the context clues point to Shirogane and Chika not being interested in each other, but I was still reserving judgment.

2023-06-13 12:40:50 +0000 UTCIshigami is my favorite character, with Chika being a close second. While I don’t share his paranoia, I guess I do relate more to an awkward and often misunderstood introvert than I do to the extroverted chaos agent. I think they took a while to introduce him maybe because they wanted to establish the 3-way dynamic firmly first, then add the extra element- plus, he was seeming to avoid/keep to himself, possibly mostly because of how he imagined Kaguya was targeting him, but also, he’s an uncertain introvert. I think Shirogane saying (or at least implying) that he considered him a friend explains us seeing him more from here on out, because he feels more included now (though Shinomiya still scares him lol).

2023-06-12 15:47:40 +0000 UTCI don’t think the Chika dance is canon, but it’s vague enough that I don’t think it would matter too much (people do keep secrets, not just about love/crushes). You’re doing pretty well with the names- Shirogane: She-row-gah-nay, Shinomiya: She-no-me-yuh, Fujiwara: Foo-jee-wah-ruh, and Ishigami: Ish-ee-gah-me (or just like origami with ish instead of or). I think we’ve seen enough to assume that there’s no romantic interest between Shirogane and Chika, that’s why their interactions seem so relaxed and to come easily (no pressure)- like in the earlier vignette where he got a cell phone, he and Chika immediately became Line (a form of social media) friends, while he and Shinomiya had a battle over who would ask first lol. I loved, and I think it might have been a meme for a while back when the episode first dropped, when Chika, after seeing Shirogane somewhat succeed in playing volleyball, got all teary eyed and proclaimed “I raised him!”
