i'm actually so upset now
The author doesn ship the dad n kid. In the original verse they share a father son ship but the panels u see with hints of shipping are fanservice that author does for fans from time to time. It is unrelated to the main story so dont worry.
that's really weird! if the author wants to ship two people so bad, how about the adults who weren't raised by each other in the story???
The orange n blue guy are also hinted as a ship i think n it is weird but we cant help it we aimply gotta ignore those fanservice panels n enjoy the mainverse. Author has assured potato n wolf arenr a pair or endgame but since author is a bl artist n a lot of chinese fans like this age gap troupe of younger guy raised by older n later falling in love/chasing" so author caters to fanservice sigh
The GL panel is an ad, and it was requested. She does fan service between Adultato and dad, but u can skip over those chapters.
i always had a feeling like the author shipped the dad and the kid, but thought I was overthinking it. i was not, and i realize this 110.5 chapters in. BRUH.
if you are wondering what I mean, I mean the extra (110.5) where they are girls and it is really implied to be gl.
