@Lilliwyt Kiyose is clearly NOT uninterested- I see plenty of interest. Why are you only seeing the times she pushes her away? There are equally as many times where Sensei goes out of her way to flirt and play and tease Eiko too!
She pushes her away because 1) She is her teacher and 2) because she is a guarded and private individual who seems comfortable in her solo private life, and a very self reliant and in charge kinda woman- but she IS clearly into Eiko- but also, trying to fight that- both as a teacher and mainly I think, because of her personality.
She is the Alpha type, confident and laid back- but Eiko is ALSO a similar confident type most of the time. I bet Kiyose have never been pursued like this before. SOME of that does annoy Kiyose - and I think she is also annoyed at herself for her lack of control - but she is even more into her than she is wanting to maintain a distance.
It looks to me like she will give in for sure in the end. Kiyose KNOWS she is really into Eiko too- even tho she knows she shouldnt be flirting with her student she cant help it.
Why do you THINK the author keeps having the pair show up? Because thats her OTP. The fact they are always being thrown together is NOT forced at ALL- it is the whole point. Neither would the author keep putting them together flirting etc if they both didnt like each other. Do you think the author is stupid? You are just not seeing their personality types and understanding their actions properly. It is clear as day to many of us.
The whole reason they pair up is because they are clearly into each other- and Kamu and Eiko have never had a single hint that I saw that was close to sexual tension. They just love each other as friends- and Kamu needs Eiko's support. But never romantically. ( I wont comment more on this here- i'll save if for the manga some time).
