What moment made you start shipping Minato and Koyuki?
I'm curious if there was a particular scene that made you start rooting for them, or if it happened gradually. ☺️
For me, I thought they were cute almost immediately, when Minato caught Koyuki practicing her smile in the mirror and then started copying her later. But I think the moment it really clicked for me was when Minato recognized that Koyuki wasn't simply cold or rude, but had put up a “wall” between herself and other people. Then in the anime, Koyuki realizes that people have different ways of keeping others at arm's length, recognizing that Minato has his own kind of wall too, behind his cheerfulness and jokes.
I just really loved that they both seemed to intuitively see something beneath the surface of the other that most people around them either overlooked or immediately judged. 🥺 After that I was pretty much sold on them. 🩷 I definitely had some worries about Minato's behaviour as I kept watching, but if anything, the drama just made me more interested in seeing where their relationship would go.
