So here's a question for the progress junkies: how exactly do you foresee this series actually working if Koguma and Hino became an acknowledged yuri couple?
The dynamic so far, obviously, is that Hino fairly ruthlessly teases Koguma in a variety of ways. This is a time-honored courtship strategy (sometimes known as "first ruffle their feathers, then smooth them down").
How would this faux-adversarial dynamic come off between an established couple? (I can just imagine all the posts castigating Hino for being psychologically and emotionally abusive to her partner.)
Or is it a desire to move ahead to full-dress dom-sub play?
Personally, I'm tired of this relationship not developing at all. Sure, we already got some info of Hino's past, sometimes she gets flustered, but since some chapters till now we seem to get back to the beginnig: just teasing, some jokes, no background at all. I enjoy slow burns, a lot. But man, things have to be done right. If I want to read something that takes 7-8 volumes to have little development, I'll go to the het tag.
