^I don't know which market they are covering their base for, but it's not China. The audience understands SuleMio are married, they see the engagement since ep1, the interactions, the "sister in law" line and the rings, they are not dumb, and the censorship agency understands too. That agency always watches the entire actual content of a show to look for anything that could be interpreted in a way they don't like and ban it, they don't care for some periphery tacked-on statement of staff or owner company. Yet the show and merchandise were and still are allowed to be on the market in China (edit: they did not have showings on television in mainland, for licensing reason, not censorship, merchandise are still sold), before and after Bandai Namco's backpedaling, so China is fine actually with the marriage that was shown implicitly.
