Kiniro no Corda is originally and mainly an otome game. It may came across like a normal shoujo anime for those that watched the anime vers but it's mainly an early 2000s thing and Kiniro no Corda being an anime from Koei Tecno. Back then anime such as this didn't get the " 12 episodes " treatment of otome like Kamigami no Asobi, Code realize, DiaLov.
Kure Yuuki (mangaka) isn't even the one in charge of the scenario/writing and story. She's just the artist that picked scenes from the game and mixed it up to have Len as the lead in this adaptation. Technically she does not have pull controll and rights to the story. Like she can't just magically make Tsukimori someone that likes cakes because the original sources (OG game, sequel 2ff, and filler game Octave) didn't wrote Tsukimori to be like that.
This sequel story wasn't created only as a sequel for the manga adaptation but also for the players of the otome game that are more likely to read and buy the manga. In this context it make sense they eventually make a what if scenario but more like a dj kind of manga. Which is very similar to the strategy of Quiin Rose's HnknA otome. There's a well known manga adaptation with Blood as ml but, there are also ones with different guys as MLs.
