Sorry Mangestu, when you put it that way, I can understand this chapter in that regard. I'm just used to Hiro making his characters into sex objects and appeasing to a certain fanbase.

When this chapter was released earlier on in the day, tumblr blew up with posts being excited about such a shipping happening, thanking Hiro for confirming their pairing of these two. To me, it just seemed that he was pandering to them, as I also saw some people kinda disgusted by it.

By now, I've gotten used to the schtick that he tends to put out there. But, your explanation of the situation is sound.
