From what I know, yep it is-

In the novel, they kiss at ch.200, which means probably chapter 180 in the manga- which means, considering we have 48 chapters out now, if we assume we'll get 1 chapter per week, it will take about 2 years and 9 months to get there- most likely, there may be some delays or otherwise, so lets assume like 3 or 3 and a half years just to get to the kissing.
The plot is worth it though, the build up is so worth it and makes it all feel more realistic. Essentially, I'm just telling yall how long we shall have to wait for anything like that.
You should know as well though, the scenes before that point are just... I can't even. They're so fun. Then when you actually get to the kiss scene its just gonna be awesome because its built up so nice and you'll actually feel attached to the characters.

Why did I never even consider the possibility of blue hair dude being a love interest? I just thought they was gonna be platonic besties / he's just her subordinate and will never gain feelings or will gain feelings to some side character.
I hope that's how this'll go- I cannot see them liking eachother. They act like siblings.
Dude, I love Reynold. He's such a tsundere. Even though he was horrible at the start... his character development is just so good. I love him. He's adorable.
