People watch a male and a female character being very close friends and can't not ship them all the time and ppl are allowed to just as much as when it's two guys, two girls, or any other combo of gender, theres nothing sad abt it. Actually it's quite nice that people have the freedom to do so on these spaces and find people to enjoy it with or find a way to enjoy a medium.

It's nice that you have evidence Krul is in love with Mika, but this isnt about her its about Mika himself and his feelings for Yuu. Krul and others know Mika and Yu from the past, that is indeed very interesting and it has yet to be seen if Yu and Mika also know each other from past lives, we cant know that, we only know for sure about Krul and Ashera.

Mika always prioritized Yuu so far and it's as I said the only connection he has that has been emphasized in terms of loosing his capability of feeling close to another person as an exeption - maybe Krul is going to be another maybe she's not i cant say that for the future but I find it rather unlikely and so far nothing implies that, although personally it wouldnt be my cup of tea since Krul basically acted as a master or weird form of caretaker for him, never as his friend or equal so theres for me some power imbalance I see as weird to interpret as romantic. That being said theres a lot of questionable pairings canon in mainstream media so i dont rule it out. It's just not my cup of tea.

I also don't find theres chemistry between anyone and Mika but Mika and Yuu, they obviously fiercly care for each other, sure Yuu cares for his squad as well and wants Mika included but he also has not put anyone in particular above Mika - quite the opposite he is ready to damn anything to bring his family back and turn Mika into a human again. So I'd say from Yus side Mika is neither above or below anyone necessary in terms of the strengh of Yuus feelings. On Mikas side however it's Yuu and only Yuu whos constantly put above anything else and center of his concern.

I've never said anything abt this Tayaka person I'm not too familiar with the interviews arouns ONS but I am with baiting so it's nothing I'm not considering in. I'm not even saying they are meant to be canon I'm just saying Mika loves Yuu and thats simply true. Love is love wether its platonic or romantic, theres been so far no other person Mika currently feels love for but Yuu as by canon. Granted he did love his family at the orphanage too just like Yuu, but on the other side Mika puts Yuu above the rest. He doesnt seem to want the others back at any cost, he rather wants to keep Yuu save.

I'd disagree partially with the "Mika isnt special anymore" because he kind of is, he's always Mika, his and Yuu's relationship is set apart from the others they are seemingly (so far) the only ones connected so deeply now and at the same time connected to/in the past in a way the vampires and the squad arent. He's still the vampire Yuu protects and offers his blood to. And sure theoretically hed do so for any family member, but thats not what the story is telling. The narrative does set their bond apart from others. So I'd say Mika is still special to Yuu and his story.

While I agree that Mika should let other people in I don't see him falling in love with any of them so far because at the end of the day he just wants to be with Yuu. Of course there can be agreement or disagreement wether his feelings are romantic so let's say it like that with how the story has set up and shown Mika acting so far, theres no one he has the kind and greatness of feelings for as for Yu - so if he was having romantic feelings for anyone it seems to me only Yuu would make sense bc he simply doesnt care about anyone else this much and seeks even physical closeness with/seems comfortable with it (though i might forget sth, I should reread once in a while).

So idk what to tell you to like ... maybe consider accepting that ppl like the idea of them together.

I fear Mika is going to die to resolve the climax anyway so if anything mikayuu is a great comfort for me because i can imagine that at least the person he did everything for loves him back as much in return, that can be platonic too of course but you know - I think it would be very sweet.
