I loved this! The art style is wonderful and it was funny and cute. It's just that I'm not quite sure how to approach this because on one hand, Yurine is definitely acting sweetly towards Koutarou and while at first he just seemed like a natural at that, as time passed it seems he likes Koutarou. On the other hand, Koutarou, being a little dense and a little lonely (and perhaps because the misunderstandings earlier made him believe that Yurine is just the way he is: a smooth prince and charming sweet talker) still considers it as a mere extension of friendship when it already seems to be at the boundary beyond that. With Yurine not being too clear and Koutarou insisting on "friendship", I don't know if they're just "friends" that can get close, sweet, and handsy, or if they're dating. While it doesn't seem all that important in the grand scheme of things, and is too serious for such a light hearted story, it adds to my confusion and now I don't know what to see them as. (The last bit of them behind thr curtain definitely doesn't look like mere friendship to me, Koutarou, and you know it, but I can't tell due to ayurine's previous offenses.)
For my peace of mind, I just decided to think of them as somewhere in between. It just made me wish there was more...
