i love when shoujo's have male characters that actually have a personality and their own motivations outside of the love interest

i don't want it to ever end!

Ito (bottom left) - is about a dying maid cafe she's trying to save. Sumo Do, Sumo Don't (bottom right) - a University club.

I was a little surprised to find, after finishing the third season, that there's not widespread agreement on this aspect of her character. It was the thing that I liked most about the show, and I cannot imagine that it was done without intention, because Chihaya having social difficulties and a different lens of viewing the world is one of the major things the show is about. She's set in contrast to other people, and a lot of that is autism coding, and ... I don't know. It felt like this was the one true correct way of interpreting this character, something that was done deliberately. And people somehow disagree with my reading? How rude.
