when did I say that Kobayashi was straight? I said that she's not lesbian, but it doesn't mean she's straight. I had a feeling she's asexual 'as a girl'. IykwIm
@sheska oh I see what you mean, but even if Kobayashi is asexual, she can still love Tohru romantically, no? Unless she's aromantic also
She's not asexual, nor is she aromantic. She's an anti-social nerd who doesn't (or didn't, depending on where you are in the story) understand how relationships with other people work. The only relationship that she's really had was her friendship with Takiya. She's likely never had romantic feelings for anyone before in the first place, or, at least, never noticed them. Tohru is the first person that she's likely ever had any romantic feelings for, and she doesn't really know how to deal with those feelings.
