Apparently Cube Watermelon made Ben and Steffi from Kiwi Blitz a couple because she predicted people would ask when the male and female leads of her story would hook up. Meanwhile, looking at the heavily redacted planning documents for Sleepless Domain that we have access to, it’s pretty clear that the story’s been structured from the beginning around Undine and Kokoro being a couple.
This is surprising, since if you didn’t know this you’d probably assume it was the other way around. Ben and Steffi have a very compelling dynamic and almost seem like they were made for each other, even though they apparently weren’t; meanwhile Undine and Kokoro honestly seem to be one of the less interesting ships for both of them, and look from the outside perspective like they are only a couple because they’re the co-leads of a magical girl show, one of whom is pink.
