In better Love Macho news, the game is currently (as of the 17th of Jan. 2026 in JST) in its final adjustments, so look forward to the release! Mow down the approaching monsters you've seen in the anime and tap to attack.

Surface-level: Akoya's just antagonizing Ryuu at this point, that's just their dynamic.

Deeper analysis: This is the scene where Ryuu's reading the Conquest Club manga (specifically the first chapter). The pages he has it open to, Akoya is shown four times.

I still think about them

That led to Aki and Haru having some....misunderstanding about the show's 'characters' and their relationship. You know, like when you read some discussion on the show you know nothing about, and decide that its main character is a character A., when in reality A. is just the most popular character in the fandom who canonically only appears in the second half of the story? And with ships…well, you know how it works.

It doesn’t mean a lot for twins – they don’t care about anyone from the  show except for Gora. So these misunderstandings just settle in the back of their minds.

Until they start hanging out with the Defense Club post-S2, and these misunderstandings starts  to float to the surface.

From thinking that Akoya and Io are childhood friends, just because of a poorly worded character analysis of the second-years on the aliens’ Tumblr. To having some really weird ideas about what actually happened between KinAtsuIbuEn.

It’s not a big deal, for the most part – twins try to keep their “But aren’t you – oh,nevermind“ to themselves. But sometimes…yeah, sometimes it does get a little awkward.

Haru: yk it’s crazy that the third years get along after so many years of miscommunication. Also I never would have thought that arima of all people would start it

Ryuu: ? He did?

Haru: ? You didn’t know?

Akoya: I don’t think he did..

Haru: no like I swear I saw online…

Ryuu: wow it’s always the people you least expect
