So, after episode 7, I must say that I am a big fan of whatever is going on between Aokiyama and Tamura. Their dynamic was hilarious, watching them basically fight over Nakamura made me wheeze and their bantering was amusing to say the least.
Obviously I do not support the idea that every woman who interacts with a man should be shipped with him but you know what? Even the few scenes we got were very good and I lowkey enjoy the potential ship between them.
They really hit so many tropes already:
Rivals to lovers
Opposites attract
Ragebaiter x ragebaited
Cool gf x nerd bf (Tamura is not exactly a "nerd" but you get what I mean)
Plus, we don't get the dynamic of the girl being the one to annoy the boy in a ship so often since it's usually the opposite, so this makes the ship more intriguing to me. Aokiyama looked so smug when she annoyed Tamura, I love her so much.
Maybe I'm the only one who indulged in this dynamic. Also, once again, I don't want to force this ship to anyone, I am aware of the fact that many people do not like shipping male and female characters together when they get the bare minimum compared to queer ships with more plausible dynamics. I just wanted to share my opinion. I'd like to see more of them in the next episodes, their interactions would be hectic to say the least!
