>>50718821If you have read Dungeon Meshi it is exactly the kind of relationship that Laius the MC and Marcille the sorceress of the group have at the beginning.
I make the comparison because the story of the manga begins "In medias res" and even so the protagonists are not friends, their relationship is professional or of common interests, it is as the story progresses that friendship is formed naturally and at a slow pace, this would have been another way to handle the PM trio.
