So the manga is ongoing, but the source material stems from a shoujo ln. Given it stems from a shoujo and has prettyboys, a romance ending is certain though romance is not always the main focus.

Very slow burn romance. Anime is currently on LN 3 out of a currently published 15 (in Japan).

I have seen full shows labeled as romantic shows with less romance than what this series has shown so far.

Why are you asking manga readers when the manga is not even the source???

I think the anime is good because Maomao is not your ordinary anime girl, who falls in love with everybody. I love that mystery plot and the detective work from Maomao, in my opinion there is an chance that at the end there will be an romance plot. But I would not be angry if they not add romance to it. Not every anime needs romance.

@MadanielFL In the information is said adaptation from manga. If the light novel is first, then the novel. I'm pretty sure that my question is understood.

Why would you care about “romance” when the anime is fantastic as is?

I love this anime and I don’t want to force maomao into anything.

Let her choose when she is ready and with whom.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

They probably need to love cats too 😂

@ejleon If there's no evolution in the relationship between Maomao and Jinshi, it gets very boring and always the same. Even if it isn't a romantic relationship, just friends, it need to evolve.

@mugen_ga Let me get this straight... you don't care about imaginative, creative, cleverly written dialogue and events in an anime, all you care about is "romance", and if there is no "romance", the anime is "boring".

Yeah, I can't support that singleminded attitude toward anime.

Hopefully there will be none, Jinshi doesn't deserve Maomao, she should reject him and stay the untouchable maiden she is.

It quite clearly says the light novel is the source.
Which is obvious since the LN literally first released 3 years before the manga.

There clearly IS romance but it's slow burn and LN is miles ahead.

We just need to wait for the day it gets anime but it might be years from now. I guess that's why it's not tagged romance.
I love the pining stage anyway. Jinshi is head over heels for Maomao at this point. How is that not considered romance?

@mugen_ga

Wait a minute … so if I do not agree with your own personal opinion and tastes, it is “spreading hate” … that is falsely accusing people in the forums, just because they disagreed with your opinion and/or critiqued your tastes … this makes you look bad, not me.

And my comment didn’t even really criticize your opinion and tastes, it just noted them, and then I said that I couldn’t share your perspective.

If you are this sensitive, then maybe don’t post in the forums, because what I said to you was like a feather falling on your hand, compared to other comments I received that were like a hammer to the face.

Ugh, can they just add an extra label to the Related Entries section called "Source" so that the redesign doesn't confuse even more people who don't know how to read the information section.

@mugen_ga I meant exactly what I said. Last year's redesign of certain aspects of the website made the related entries section less clear (it did NOT just effect appearance).

If they clearly differentiated sources from adaptations under related entries, it would certainly avoid arguments like one that happened earlier in this topic.

This is a very very slow burn romance. It’s more centered around the little mysteries and overarching connections of the whole story, rather than the romance between the 2 main characters. As someone else pointed out, season 2 is currently in LN3 (with the same pacing as season 1, it’ll probably end with the end of LN 4 🐸)

As someone who’s reading through the English light novels right now, I’m almost done with with #6, and there’s still only just a little development in the romance department.

Long story short, if you’re here for romance, this probably isn’t for you. But if you like puzzles and things connecting together, this story is really a good one. I’m just hoping they continue the anime to at least LN 12 😅

@TWPE ah ok. Thanks for the information. But from my point of view there's no issue here. I didn't know the source of this anime was a light novel, because I don't care about that information. I was just wondering if there was anyone who could tell me how the story continues.
If someone feels it is very important to clarify that the source is a light novel, they can simply say so and the problem is over.
