Actually, I think the pairing will be between Ijuin and his sub editor, Shizuku. It's been hinted in both the manga and anime that's he's a closet fan of Ijuin's work, and appears upset and almost jealous of the attention of Ijiun shows Misaki whenever they meet.
actually he does appear in the actual jr manga lol, it was in a subtle way but yuu appeared here before he appeared in sentiment, aside from that in chiaki's novel there's been talk about both of them. you do know that yuu's been a fan of ijuuin's since his first year of middle school right? misaki wasn't probably even born yet lol.
i dont think so. it's not been hinted but stated that yanase is a hardcore fan of ijuuin's and he also buys his limited edition material...he's been a fan since his first year of middle school. also this pairing has been hinted before shizuku even made his official appearance. aside from that yanase's baai is out next week, it's not a coincidence that it's released right after sentiment and yanase made a physical appearance and interacted with ijuuin so....
Unpopular opinion, but does anyone else think Ijuuin shouldn't be paired with Yanase? I just feel like he's coming from left field where he wasn't even in this story and poof he appears. I man we didn't really see any connection between them at all before this and just dropping a scene where Ijuuin mentions "oh, he's been coming around diligently" isn't enough. I feel like if anyone, Shizuku, the younger editor that deals with him and is a fan like Misaki would be a better candidate, and I feel like he's even shown some jealously for Ijuuin toward Misaki before. They just make more sense for me. Just my opinion. I shall now await the onslaught on hate for this.
