I think it's because we don't know a whole lot about those characters and their relationship. We've mostly seen them from an outsider's perspective. What we really need is one chapter, or maybe even a side story, focusing on Chihuya and Rachi; we might come to understand them a bit more. (●'◡'●)ノ

Uh, maybe. Doesn't really change my opinion. I probably would've skipped it if it was scanlated or I probably wouldn't have gotten to read this if I knew there was this story next because I would've abandoned the manga. I'm not saying I hate the couple but I'm just saying this considering how I try to find manga I'd want to read. I know they're a couple that could appeal to a lot of other people and I have nothing against that.

Yeah, if it was Rachi x Suzuhara's friend Onose, or even Chihaya x Onose...

Now that other pairings has been mentioned, I think I'd like one with Onose and the third member of Yuikawa's group. I like the latter's cuteness play. I imagine it would be a couple with two very knowing characters. Like with a little less fluffy air in the story. Yes, I'm beginning to fantasize about having another couple.

but that is his charm point
I guess the Chihaya-Rachi thing is good for the manga since it makes it a teeny bit less linear but I can't really get myself to be fond of the pairing, personally. Couldn't care less about the thing between them.
