However, it's not likely as Tanaka-sensei apparently is rather uncomfortable with the idea... They're at the very least in _love_, either as friends or as something else, even if they never did anything physical about it. The manga depicts a lot of very casual touching that suggests either familiarity or comfort with each other's physical presence. If it were another time, another life, I could see them just being lovers. As it was... well, who knows. Monica ----- Monica/Akira-chan/Heero/Hayama/Naga/Kircheis no Miko- Proud TABBE!
