And in chapter 18 when she said she feels a tug at her heartstrings whenever she thinks of him and she wanted to hug him and I believe that's love. She may not understand it because the "love" Az taught her was different from the love she felt for Sett hence she believes it's not love.
October 8, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Yes! I also believe that. Like when she told Az she shouldn't have come and the small fire in her heart as the reason why it's so hard. Rikachi used fire in one's heart as a metaphor in her skating manga and I believe that's also what she was doing her. She was falling for Sett then.
October 8, 2025 at 4:21 PM
I am also hoping she looks back or references how she thought Sett is so dear to her it makes her heart hurt even if it's not love and says I didn't realize that's exactly what love is. Like please these words feel like her saying the reason she loves him
October 8, 2025 at 6:14 AM
Oh that would be good! I still believe this arc parallels the prison arc so I am wishing we see a parallel to this too where she explicitly says/screams she loves him

The way that's the official positions of the acrylic stands when they could have her walking towards Az 🤣
October 8, 2025 at 3:11 AM
Like this official illustration where Nina is walking towards Sett and these covers where Nina and Sett is wearing the same colors while Az is wearing a totally different color. I was wondering why they're wearing different colors and it made sense to me when I saw Nina's cover.

There's also an extra illustration for a volume where Nina shared her scarf with Sett and Az took the other side bad put it on him, choking Nina.

These valentine's day illustrations that show the SettNina dynamics well. At some point her trio illustration became more neutral but there's still hints
October 8, 2025 at 2:46 AM
There's also the cat illustrations where the dynamics between the ship is pretty obvious. Az had his tail around her while stars block their eyes but Nina has Sett's tail on her lap and she and Sett look at each other's eyes without distraction
October 8, 2025 at 2:41 AM
Also when the first ep of the anime was released, she posted Nina and Sett, and Sett's words seem like they're meant to be side by side. Even with the bluray illustrations. Az wasn't even allowed to touch Nina while Sett intertwined his fingers with hers.
October 7, 2025 at 4:22 PM
I think honestly she's more SettNina since the start esp Sett-leaning, esp the way she always redraw his panels to make him perfect, which she doesn't do for Az and Nina. Also the last time she ever posted something ship related is SettNina as well for Sett's heartbreak in chapter 28.
October 7, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I think they're really sleeping side by side and now instead of being surprised by the closeness like in chapter 14, she snuggles even closer 🥰
October 6, 2025 at 4:44 PM
I'm thinking they're in this position with Nina's head on Sett's arm and she scoot closer to him to him

Goah I want to see that lovestruck Nina in the main story too 🥺
October 6, 2025 at 3:25 PM
When you have a crush, you get nervous when you're close to that person, like Nina with Az. But when you love someone, you would crave that closeness, you would seek their touch...Their touch won't make you anxious but you would feel at peace and comforted, like you're home.
October 6, 2025 at 3:15 PM
I think this was rejected because either it's too obvious who's endgame if they include this or they need to make a similar couple illustration with AzNina if they approved it and that's not possible so they just scrapped it.
October 6, 2025 at 12:06 PM
Nina looks so happy snuggling to Sett 🥺
October 6, 2025 at 12:04 PM
Nina looks way too happy in this illustration 😍

Why don't you show us this Nina in the main story as well Rikachi 🥲
October 6, 2025 at 9:41 AM
Nina's face here reminds me of the times she blushed because of Sett in ch 55 and 56 🥰
October 6, 2025 at 6:56 AM
If they're not endgame then why are we being fed without asking? 🥰
October 5, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Sett's words gave her the courage to try. And those touches Nina initiates... her hand on his chest like it's normal for them and her blushing cheeks while thanking him, that little hand settling on his arm...
October 1, 2025 at 5:13 PM
After this, possibly due to the fact that she's accepted that she loves Sett in that previous scene, starts blushing around Sett in the cave and she's definitely closer to him and initiates more touches. She got shy after she clung to Sett due to the sudden movement
October 1, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Here, she thinks romantic love has an ending that's why she ran away when Sett tried to kiss her because she's afraid that if they start, it will reach the same ending where Sett will come to hate her and won't even look at her like Az. She's afraid Sett's love will end like Az and hurt her.
October 1, 2025 at 5:13 PM
I don't think it was that long because her hair didn't change that much from the time Sett found her to chapter 48. For her to develop such feelings for Sett so fast after getting her heart broken by Az... kinda unlikely no?
October 1, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Chapter 48 is the first time Nina ever talked about her romantic feelings for Sett, a few days after they reached Starbia. How long did they travel from where Sett found her to Starbia? 2 week? One month? Was it enough time for her to develop feelings for Sett after being dumped by her first love?
October 1, 2025 at 4:30 PM
You can't tell me these aren't parallels or contrasts actually. With Sett, she's telling him those things directly and she can hug him but with Az he's not there and Nina can't touch him.

I want you to smile too vs I wanted to make you happy

I'm really glad Rikachi made that distinction so clear.
