1) Is this actually yaoi/shounen-ai?
yes it is. they have sex during the last chapter. though they dont show much. plus they share quite a few kisses..
So who else thinks Komomo was fucking badass? I mean, I sort of want her like that more often, as crazy as that sounds. Not sure how she would fight if it came down to it though . . .
She doesn't have to fight, she has a "commanding" attitude when pushed (clean up of the shop), which seems to make people listen.
I actually really liked this; it's refreshingly different, and sort of calls out some formulaic tropes that occur in other alternate world shoujo manga and even Otome game sort of plots. I'm excited to see the story progress! So please update soon!
