#read that last night and the fuckimh evil santa

[bmpmp3]

HERE is another Shoujo manga trope I really like: when a new Handsome Boy character is introduced and he's like a little evil like at least a minor antagonist but not really in the romantic or love rival-y sense, and later the main character meets him outside of their antagonist battles or whatever and he's just like a normal dude maybe a little snippy but chill and nice and it's like one of those "in a different scenario maybe we could be friends..." situations and they have a surprising amount of chemistry and a bit of a fun character dynamic and while you as the audience don't actually want these two to get together romantically (like the main characters romantic arc feels like it should definitely end with her getting together with The Main Boy 'cause it's cute and sweet and the entire story has been set up for that and their chemistry and relationship is just more narratively satisfying so switching it last second would honestly be disappointing) it's still a little fun for a minute or two to ponder.....................just a hint of pondering
