It might be one-sided but it's still love between girls hence it qualifies as shoujo-ai. Not to mention the story was published in yurihime. Even then for what reason should someone else not romanticise it?
Lmao just friendship you serious
Hell no it's not "just" friendship.
Yeah, Fuwako didn't love Arisa in a romantic way; but it was Arisa's case. I'm sorry but you don't kiss your friend and don't get jealous of their bf/gf when you don't like them.
Have a good day
Just want to clarify that when I said 'shoujo-ai feels', I'm referring to ROMANTIC relationship between them. And yeah, you can't consider that PURE Friendship sorry for my earlier assertion (don't know what got into my head when I wrote that). And now so many people pointed out, I get why it's like so, however one-sided it is.
Don't sense any shoujo ai feels. It's just FRIENDSHIP! Seriously stop romanticizing it
