the sad thing that while there only a handful of good shounen/seinen manga that the protagonist or his sidekick is lgbt,theres no much recognition to those,and most of them either not translated/stopped in the middle or got their identity wiped by the studio(x/1999 for example, kamui is an LGBT character clearly in japanese manga version, but in the anime ova adaptation it got wiped almost complety, and the manga was stopped in the middle because of homophobic reacts from the japanese and the overseas readers. yet again it happened in legal drug. and then in naruto shippuden(the last chapter page, theres a blank square of sasuke , and in the original version that was in the first print of jump, it said "aishiteru" which means deep romantic love), it was a confession but there was a huge backlash in the japanese media and the creator backed down and wiped it off in the japanese and english volume version. so many shounen authors kinda see that as tabuu, making a major character as lgbt, so i get why kagami takaya is always avoiding the question about mika sexuality, he just tease everyone instead usually brushing it off as "everyone is in love with yuu regardles of gender, its just that yuu is that special", usually in a teasing half joking manner so no one can really know. and like ive said above(yeah i opened an account to join the discussion ) shinoaa is a badass, and the way she grew as a character is amazing. but idk she and yuu fit more as a brotp than an otp. (my opinion of course) it has nothing to do with gender but more of their personality.
