I'm sorry if I made a horrible assumption about your definition of "chemistry" here, but I'm just gonna put it here just to let the others who "ship" Shiraishi with Kondou (romantically speaking), Shiraishi is 16, Kondou is 30.
idk what kind of chemistry ur talking abt here to compare kondou's interaction with a 16 yrs. old girl and a 22/24 yrs old man
I'm really just hoping this is another use of "chemistry" cause what could possibly be the chemistry between sei and a 16 year old girl
sorry bad wording oops its just that ms shiraishi and kondou feel like they both pleasant company vs kondou visibly only tolerating aresh in his face... i feel better reading the almost caretaker-child relationship between ms shiraishi and kondou than the bland "romance" between seiichirou and aresh
and in any case, we dont really even get to see kondous feelings for aresh that much outside of "omg we did that *blushes* anyways" it just doesnt feel viable considering the nature of their interactions (one sided romantic interest for aresh, routine to make sure he doesnt die for kondou)
maybe the romance will get better later on since idk what happens in the novel but so far it feels like its just taking away from building aresh as a character at best and needless fluff to get you interested at worst i fear
why does kondou have more chemistry with shiraishi than aresh like all their scenes together feel lackluster and one sided so far + i havent read the novel but i hope aresh gets an arc to himself i love him sm
