(Yes it’s me babbling away about this manga again)
Remember that no one was sure about who is Kaede’s one sided love? The clues we have are: 1. It’s a “he”, 2. He’s an alpha and 3. He works in the same department with Shuu (from chapter 2).
It’s NOT Kikyou because Kikyou is a beta.
It’s Tsubaki (Shuu’s energetic senior with long hair). Yep. Tsubaki is a man.
What.
Hear me out.
So you see, in the book, after each chapter there’s one page of extra content. Tsubaki’s info is revealed after chapter 5. “Male, alpha, extremely energetic and well-liked by his surbodinates. Somehow completely unaware of Kaede’s feeling.” In chapter 5, Kaede called him “Tsubaki-kun” and Shuu thought that it’s funny how he used “kun” suffix (more commonly used for male). Tsubaki is a man and he’s Kaede’s secret crush.
I’m not sure why the author decided to introduce Kikyou and not make Kaede and Tsubaki a thing. Anyway, at the end of book 2 Kikyou is only a junior that Kaede often sees around and he has a huge crush on Kaede. I don’t think there’s any plan to continue their story in the near future.

This is the first time I wish a BL is not BL. Don’t get me wrong, I have no issue with the direction author is taking this to. I just think that it would also be nice if they develop a brotherly kind of love. Supporting each other, loving each other, be there for each other like real brothers. Nice, isn’t it?
Yes please spoil him rotten in my stead
