>>243185994>I don't think professional rivalsI'm not saying that it's the extent of their relationship, because it obviously isn't. Like I said there's a romantic element to all of them. What I'm saying is this: Kaoruko and Futaba are very close to each other in all spheres of life. As we see in the anime, their mutual interest in the performing art does play a role in their relationship, but it doesn't dominate it. If one of them were to transfer to a general ed high school or just decide that they want to major in STEM after graduating, they would keep hanging out. They're a yuri couple who happen to be professional rivals. With Maya and Claudine, their rivalry and tension is integral to their relationship, and with their feelings towards one another. I'm sure they can talk about other stuff, but I just can't imagine them being together without the theatre stuff. They're colleagues and rivals who are also pretty gay.
