Talk:Minamoto Kou/@comment-39158324-20200813223750/@comment-38992634-20200813234625

AidaIro is shown to be somewhat supportive to LGBT+, temporarily pairing up Lemon and Akane for the confession tree arc. I don't see Mitsuba's and Kou's friendship as weak, sure maybe compared to others but Kou was willing to kill himself to understand Mitsuba and the only reason Kou is still alive is because Mitsuba saved him. When Tsukasa recreates a new Mitsuba, Kou's sole  focus is to get Mitsuba back from Tsukasa and save him. They care about eachother. Kou's previous and very obvious crush on Nene isn't seen very often anymore in the recent chapters when they interact. Kou isn't blushing or acting nervous around Nene anymore, while you can pass this off as him being used to being near Nene, this may be the author's way of subtly hinting that his crush has dissipated. Though we do not know for sure. Kou and Mitsuba's friendship can be seen as platonic or romantic, it's up to whoever views it, but do not call it fujoshi or fudanshi bait. If Mitsuba or Kou, either one of them was a girl, then people would still ship them. Any characters with a close relationship and dynamic is bound to be paired up by the fandom. Plus, Mitsuba and Kou's personalities clashing can bring out some crazy development (if it hasn't already happened). Kou is extremely selfless to a fault, and Mitsuba is sassy, rude, and a tad selfish. Even so, Mitsuba was angry at Kou for trying to sacrifice himself for him. Kou needs to know the line between being considerate and reckless. Perhaps just as Kou helped Mitsuba open up and express himself. Of course i'm just paraphrasing. I'm not good with describing but Iro definitely has some sort of arc for the two after what's happening currently, the sleepover can't just be for nothing or else why would it be there? An extra thought, Kou's type has been stated to be someone with a cute smile. Gender is never specified, although Nene does specify. This could be an error but a lot of people view it as Kou not caring and just loving people regardless.

this is messy, i apologize. this is in no way meant to invalidate your opinions, just in defense to others. people are allowed to headcanon and ship whoever they want if it isn't harming anyone. again, sorry.
