I think people just want to force them to be together 'cause "If there're 2 female main characters, then they're lovers. Same with males"

Btw, i would love to see them together πŸ’–.

We are four episodes in, so if there would be any romance planned, it would be at least hinted at this point. Also, judging by how in 99% of such shows nothing comes out of it, you should not get your hopes up.
So, as person above stated, it seems like strong female comradery.

But this is an anime original, so there is always a possibility.

For now, I only see Takina that is truly interested in „more than friends” relation. Chisato sees Takina as more of a person she loves to spend time with, and she’s more carefree about things like romance, while Takina is slowly realizing that she holds Chisato dear and probably doesn’t call it love, but it definitely feels like it.

Truth is that if a man-woman relation had scenes like this, people would automatically ship them without a problem, but woman-woman relationship is a big no no, and we’re just called yuri fetishists.

I genuinely wouldn’t mind it if it became a romance between them, as they’re likeable characters and Takina is coming out of her shell bit by bit and that’s down to Chisato’s nature.

People that see 2 friends, real or fictional, and immediatelly think they are a couple just show everyone they themselves have never ever had a friend, lover, or any sort of human relationship in their life.
Friendship is not the same as love, people that can't distinguish between the two is just so fkng sad in my opinion. "It's just an anime, they are not real" yeah right, that only makes it worst because that mean you can't even understand a fictional relationship, you can't even understand what the fck you are watching, like, get some help, or someone to give you some basic human interaction.

maybe because it's normal to be this comfortable around someone with the same gender like this and it's not fucking love or romance. but if male-female are at this level of comfort together there are most likely feelings involved

I don’t think they’ve yuri-baited as hard as Hibike Euphonium, for example. Their dynamic is likely going to just continue following Chisato warming up Takina to a different, happier way of life as it has been, and then put Takina’s priorities to the test when shit hits the fan at some point.

I can see the appeal of the ship though. Chisato is enchantingly charismatic in every scene and has already been so good for Takina. Last episode had some super cute moments.

I think its a bit warped because (atleast from my experience) girls being friends are completely different to boys being friends.Girls when being friends they could easily be mistook as a yuri couple even though they are just close friends.So for now i think Chisato and Takina are just girls being girls

Omg they’re just friends like I’m tired of ppl seeing 2 girls and be like “omg they’re lesbianπŸ˜πŸ€“” it’s like seeing 2 niggas just being great friends and ppl be like “omg I feel the tension between them they gotta be gayπŸ€“” like imho I feel like Takina and Chisato are just really great friends and that’s that until the anime takes another direction in their relationship that tells us (the audience) that they have clear feelings for each other🀷🏽‍♂️

Asaura who wrote the story for the show has written Yuri light novels in the past.

Not saying that it could happen with this show, but it's not impossible. For now, I wouldn't really expect it. The show itself seems to be getting a bit more convoluted with the political plot happening in the background. So I don't even know if they would have time for that.

I find it especially funny to read complaints like this after gay shippers deny any hetero pairing and insist that any friends should be read as gay. It's kind of like the children's game "blame first before you're blamed".

Just like a bunch of people will ship female x female, saying that the characters obviously love each other because they are BFFs. This argument does not work at all in 2022.

Nah, now they deliberately add "kiss each other" to devalue by scarecrow the critique of this argument. But going back to the argument itself, I'm literally tired of people using homosocial comfort as evidence that characters are in love.

Because it is usually written by two groups of people. Young lesbian/gay men who have zero experience of platonic relationships with their gender and who are completely unable to look at the situation from the outside, and horny shippers who have a mentality similar to conspiracy theorists. Well, you know, all these "this is what they want you to think so!".

For now i didnt see any love interest, no scene talkin about liking someone, no scene with love as topic between them so, i think for now they are just friend. But who knows. Until we see some official progress between them we cant say anything so stop complaing about something useless. And also i think takina doesnt know about Love in general she is too focused on the job.

At first, I thought they were just friends, but now I have serious doubts about that, considering how those two's relationship has developed. Also, I find it amusing how many here are in denial about the direction their relationship is taking. That is to say, it is quite hilarious how several here are terrified of the possibility that both of them will become a couple.

It's called skinship if you didn't know. There is nothing ambiguous about this.

I would think just friends, assuming if I know anything about anime she’s meant to be a foil to Takina, who is presented as by the books agent, no personality, cold etc. Chisato is bubbly,friendly and warm.

And as it progresses you see the effect she has on Takina.

I however wouldn’t care if it went that way, I’d just be surprised if it went that way.

Yes, in fact lets be generous and not count female streamers/influencers doing this plenty of times or female vtubers talking about skinship like this. Tomboys, girls who are into girls, and just girls in an all girl schools do show skinship like that sometimes. BUT, picking someone from their butt, holding them close, and twirling around is pretty intimate.

Once again, there is nothing strange about this, both in terms of the idealized depiction of female friendship in anime for a male audience, and from the point of view of female relationships in real life. You can deny as much as you want both the depiction of female relationships in male-focused fiction and the difference between female and male intimacy, but this will not change the matter.

Uhm.. no? No omg, we are not shipping them because they are just 2 main girls, we are shipping them because they are very shippable, they are literally yin & yang material lol, one of the best dynamic types of couple. With those black & white material, we are not forcing them to be together, it's them who is forcing us into this ship
