nah i think it is romance. just a heavy slow burn.
and the author's instagram shows couple-y slice of life doodles
I remember reading from author there wouldnt be one becouse of mc being minor but maybe i am wrong.
Mc already turned 18 a long time ago
Do we know author nationality btw?
French
For these waiting for romance, you can stop, there wouldn't be any. This is bromance at best.
