Oh my glob, yes.Thank you! I just read the author's point of view, and thought it was pretty informative as to why she doesn't ship KyouyaxHaruhi and I respect her choice, but nevertheless we're at different sides of the spectrum. She needs to see both sides of the coins before approaching the subject, and she herself admits she doesn't understand. So tbh this was a pretty bias essay. What she fails to comprehend is that everyone has a different definition of "chemistry" aka romance. It's fine if she fails to see KyouyaxHaruhi but you can't seriously expect to write an essay and use something as vague as lack of romance as evidence. Also, it's not like Haruhi has only had the apathetic undertone towards Kyouya, she's always had that apathetic nature, it's her character. Truthfully Kyouya is an enigma, so of course he'd respond so ambiguously, which is why you can't dismiss it nor read to much into it...but one thing is for sure, he's developed an interest in Haruhi and that can lead to many things (sorry not that far into the manga but neither is this post lol). Kyouya isn't an open character, it took him a while to open up to Tamaki, but nonetheless opened up, and it is because of this that you can't simply dismiss him so easily.
