Like i know the genre and how unlikely you're gonna get non-straight pairings in manga that aren't already heavily queer-themed (either BL/GL or specifically queer media) but hello they're right there. Their dynamic is wonderful. Everyone else in the cast is paired up w a romantic partner and we're left with the two (don't break the pattern <3) and it's!! Mm!!!
I desperately need more of the two
And i pray this'll be a rare shoujo/straight romance-themed manga where we get a canon queer pair

YEAHHHHHHH i knowww I forgot about the doujinshi bit (I've reread this a bunch of times in the past but it's been like 4 years since I last did, I just now came back to read it and jumped straight into somewhere in the 120-130 chapter range) but yes. I'm praying.
You could also point out that part when Nozaki had to write a blog and genderbent Mikorin for it to help Mayu, and all the comments were talking about how Mayu probably likes M(ikorin) lol.
I do fear a lil with the "I've wanted a younger brother" bit though </3
MAYUMIKO SUPREMACY!!!!
