With Aria's backstory it was already clear that nothing had happened, but making Chiyo gay and then not giving Aria at least a taste seems like a wasted opportunity. To me it'd have been more fun if Aria had already been a secret lover of Chiyo; especially if Ichiko then found out later.
I wouldn't have liked that, it would've made Ichika feel like she was just a replacement for Chiyo rather than being important to Aria in her own way. Chiyo "touched Aria's heart" but ultimately couldn't convince her not to die by her hand or that of one of her descendants while I assume that Ichika will actually convince her to stop wanting to die.
Exactly. And it’d be weird, falling in love with a grandmother then her grandchild. That’s just one step away from mother to daughter which is just ew. Also if I recall correctly it had said that ichika is arias first romantic experience right? It would bother me so much if they contradicted that. I was worried when chiyo was gay in case that did happen but having her be gay and have a platonic relationship was nice and kind of helps explain ichika’s comfort with her sexuality. It’s adorable that chiyo encouraged her to follow her heart and whatnot no matter what. Edit: went back to chapter one and yeah it already said it’s because of grandma off the bat but still.
Anyway did anyone else find the speed of their interactions almost jarring? Like was that over the course of a day? I know you can befriend someone in a day but their conversation felt to me like they knew each other at least a few days at the end there.
