I am afraid it will not, especially it it portrays the two of them more or less romantically involved. It's a trick that only works when a relation is pathological.
Of course, the beautiful art does a lot to the enchant of believing they are perfect together but to me an abusive relationship is a monstrosity. It's my personal opinion, I am not one of those who want to rule the world. As long as people are happy, it's their own business.
I can't ship the two of them.
Azusa, we all know, deserved some punishment for his previous behavior as a king, but not to this extent.
And it's Karino's fault. In manga universe, maybe he can forgive and, in the end, love Karino back (because we all know that Karino, in a twisted or faked-twisted way: who cares...) fancies Azusa.
But a real Azusa would love only one thing: his death.
It's awful to thin love can be conquered through violence, abuse and subtraction of dignity. I rarely hate, but i DETEST Karino.
