>>49215759I would like more if they play with expectations, Ash and Marnie form a healthy friendship and rivalry, nothing important, nothing deep only a couple of participants in the tournament, but their family and friends make a mess of this, Piers thinks that his innocent sister is being courted by that strange boy, Goh thinks that punk girl is bullying his friend and tries to save him, Chloe can't bear the fact that Ash has a better romantic life than hers, so she tries to be more direct with Goh (But he does not take her into account due to his concern for Ash), Leon keeps giving Ash bad advice thinking that he is really interested in Marnie, and to top it off, Galar's press creates false information about Ash saying that he is casanova wannabe who goes from region to region picking girls, Piers goes into killer mode.
Basically a snowball effect where Ash and Marnie are the last to know.
You could say that a deconstruction of ships and shippers where people try to interfere in the lives of others and spend their time trying to prove the existence of something that does not exist
Plot twist: In the end they both decide to be a couple on their own
