See? You said it yourself. It isn't romantic per se. When it gets there however, that's when it all comes down to being official. I've been lead astray quite a few times when I thought two characters were gonna get together only for it to turn out that better partners were available or at least more compatible. One recent case in a great shounen romance manga had a girl crushing on a guy for several weeks or months and never realized the guy was in the same class. However it turns out she had put it aside as "just a crush based on looks" and started to look more attentively at another guy who was usually "just a friend" and also a classmate in her eyes and began to show jealousy at him unwittingly getting along with a girl who developed a recent crush on him. Yet she can't bring herself to hate the other girl since that one is so genuine so she is at an impasse. Some great character depth right there and something I never expected. It was really heartfelt. It wasn't a "reaching puberty makes you more aware of the opposite sex close to you" but rather one that was more gradual and real. Then again, I'm a sucker for romance regardless as long as I know it is a lasting relationship. =P

Tbh I thought Ultear was gonna be Gray's choice but that ship sailed. T^T
