Ok yeah, maybe I exaggerated that statement. I basically meant the fact they're both boys is huge reason why many people think their relationship couldn't be romantic. Because if Ranma was girl, no one would question if someone called their friendship romantic, very likely a lot of people would think their relationship is romantic. Because people think guys and girls can't be good friends without being in love (which is absolutely not true), but when it's two boys or two girls, it's "obviously just friendship". For example, in Japanese version, Tetsuya and Terumi's relationship was solely stated as friendship, but dub made it super shippy and romantic, as if guy and girl couldn't be just friends.

Also agreeing with Zen Haruki, I like their relationship as both either friendship or romantic. It's really well written and interesting this far. I like how series focus on it a lot and how they build everything up to this point. Friendship or romance, I like Yuuga and Ranma's relationship a lot and they're very precious to me. I just, as gay person, just like seeing gay stuff in things I like and I see a lot of subtext on their writing. Also like I said, Yuuga and Ranma's relationship reminds me a lot of my own relationship, so I kinda reflect that on it.

I hope Ace will stay the way it is! I'm used to let downs with Buddyfight (I did drop the series around Hundred, but just lately caught it up with my girlfriend), but since Ace has pretty much been nothing but great writing this far, I have big hopes for it.
