They are not lovers .They aren't friends. They aren't even good coworkers.
They bring out the absolute worse in each other, and was made clear as shit in Season One. They are literal opposites who will never agree with each other on ANYTHING, even with stuff related to idols.
Yet the dumbass fans keep wanting to think they're BFFs when they clearly aren't. They even have a song dedicated to how they'll never see eye to eye with each other
Explain the fanart of them arguing with each other if they like each other then

Last thread I made there were a few people who agreed that they want nothing to do with each other

"Oiran. Do you know what they are? They were the highest class of prostitutes during the Edo period. What do you think was needed to become the highest class of prostitutes? To become an oiran, you must have 'class'. Classics, you must be knowledgeable with literature. Shogi, Go. Good enough to entertain the other player. Dancing, singing, shamisen, koto. Tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, the ways of the world. Absolutely perfect manners, beautiful gestures, wealth of knowledge. Calligraphy, to make even your writing beautiful. And most importantly, not freely offering your body, regardless of how much money is offered. You must refrain until your minds connect. YOU LACK CLASS. And unfortunately, I like women with class."
