^ I actually read that story in english a while ago. https://www.fancomics.org/articles/8 I found the story pretty interesting.
I think I prefer having NozoNico doujins if they are comedy based just like how their relationship is jokes between each other. Serious NozoNico stuff isn't fun to to read for me.
I like the idea of NicoEli in the same way I like NozoNico. There is sort of protection that Nozomi and Eli gives to Nico in my opinion.
Eli is so adorable in the manga! So kindhearted and cute. And I feel like I see a lot of PKE like moments in the manga.
