Doesn't matter. Isayama, the author of Attack on Titan, said the same with Eren and Mikasa, but oh would you look at that, they are one of the most popular ships in Japan (note I don't even like the ship, I love Eren x Historia and Eren x Armin). Can be argued that the anime helped with that, but it doesnt matter because it was already well-liked even before the TV series came out. And again--fandoms gonna fandom, people gonna ship. What the creator says doesnt matter and shouldnt to them. also, what if Kagami said that Krul and Mika were just friends? Would you stop shipping it?

2. Mhm which is why it is still shipped even after the anime...? Keep in mind that some Mikayuu shippers too read the manga before the anime or started from the beginning after watching it. Thats a really bold statement considering how it is easily the most popular ship in the fandom.

Edit: do we need to remind you again that no one in this thread is forcing you to ship Mikayuu but just pointing out reasons why they see Mika being in love with Yu?
