It's been a pretty long time since I read this, does anyone remember why they decided to "not date"?
Anchovy is worried about Maho’s family and how their relationship might not be supported because of her status as heir to the family and whatnot, and generally doesn’t wanna make it formal yet because of fear or something.
I think we’ll see them start dating if we ever get to that summer trip to the Nishizumi estate, since I think seeing how supportive and kind Maho’s family is might give Chovy the push she needs to finally accept Maho’s confession
