I don't know about in the manga, but in the novel there was a second male character that comes much later, maybe about 2-3 arcs later, that is revealed to be evil (not really evil, but working for a female love rival to plot against the mc) I don't know of any other characters that fall for Filmina. But there is the female love rival that tries to kill the mc.
Let me tell you that the amazing plot device known as "love rival" is wasted on this story.
The main couple isn't strengthened by these obstacles.
There's basically one dynamic from the very beginning: danger appears, filmina protects edi with her own power, edi gets really angry and tries to make filmina do exactly what he wants, filmina isn't fazed and is happy that she got hurt instead of him, he doesn't try to protect her and only tries to control her
he doesn't grow mentally and it isn't filmina's job to help him either. of course, she should also mature a little bit, but it's mostly edi's fault.

spoilers for anyone on the fence.

eventually filmina gets cursed and edi doesn't even pay attention to her at all and she can't go to sleep without seeing nightmares and edi even tries to hide the fact that filmina is his wife, which backfires and ends up putting her in great danger, she was almost killed by a psycho love rival. edi never acts like he loves her, he is the most annoying and selfish tsundere i have ever seen

not really a happy ending considering he acts like a dick rn in the novel and the author makes filmina tolerate him,,, in real life no one would act so selfless and understanding, she never gets to get angry or talk back to him, she just has to be with him. her undying love and devotion to him doesn't make sense, it isn't explained further than the fact that he is a beautiful person, which is shoved down our throats in every single interaction that involves him. "he can say this, do that, all because he has an otherworldly godly beauty that is like a night fairy". author-san, once is enough,,,, when you say it in every chapter it doesn't add anything to his character. he's literally one dimensional. it's lazy and bad writing at this point :////

i hate manga that just... make things go so unnaturally fast? like, i really hate how Amelie made all those assumptions without knowing the full story and how she was SO upset by him dressing in girl's clothes. Like, I can get how one can be a little confused, maybe disconcerted, but 3 days of nightmares? and going pale at the thought of him? idk man... I am usually pretty good at immersing myself in the wackiness of manga, but some times these mangakas test my patience. I especially hate how I share her name irl!
the new guy looks like Ryusui from Dr. Stone!!
