I want to believe sensei won't go for the blackmailing girl, she even has such a nice mood going with the cosplayer, but I find it hard to believe they won't force it anyway because they're the protagonists.
When I think about that, it makes me wanna drop it and not waste more of my time.
wait were did you got the feeling the author is “forcing” the relationship to go for the two MCs to became a couple???
I just wanna know because many people end up likeing and wanting two characters to be together, other that the suposed couple the author has set for and that is mostly an subjective opinion, unless the writing is done bad or the story itself goes that direction.
Like how some times the authors make an triangle of romance and we get the ending with the worst character to be with one of the MC, in general thous story are full of angast and drama, but is the author decision, and some times it’s hard to figure out if it is bad writing OR just the author decision, tho both can happen too!
