I've made the observation that less popular characters get left out of a lot which is frustrating as a Kisaki (and Mucho) fan I get marketability but it definitely leaves out fans who like those characters :(
Yeah I'm assuming they pick whoever sells best, which is understandable since they want to sell out of merch/ whatever they're selling. But it is a bit disappointing when there's a character you like but they barely ever get merch.

No. 6 spoilers ahead!
I love me a good indulgent nezushi reunion one shot where he returns and everything is just like it used to be but i don't think it's accurate at all hear me out
I love the two of them but we have to understand that at the end of the book they are both very Fucked In The Head. Yes they do love each other and their messed up, destructive relationship is what they both needed to keep them going and it got them through the events of the book. But that was a time of rebellion and action and war. How would that same relationship fare in a time of peace and domesticity and healing? Not well at all. If these two boys as they were had stayed together it would have destroyed them both.
Nezumi had to leave at the end of the book because they both had to process everything that they had gone through. On their own. They had so much to work through and so much to find out about themselves before they could even think about romance. They both had to mature and become their own people before they could be together.
Now to my original point. When Nezumi eventually returns they will both have had time to change and grow and become functional people on their own. The person they will meet is no longer the person they remember. Shion is no longer the same boy who fell in love with Nezumi and Nezumi is no longer the same boy he fell in love with. Same with Nezumi. They still hold each other dear in their hearts, of course! They still love each other in the sense of having changed each other's lives and impacted them deeply. But when Nezumi returns, they will no longer be In Love the way they were way back when.
And so when Nezumi returns, I don't think they will fall right back into their old relationship. It does them and the story so much more justice for a reunion fic to be about them learning to fall in love all over again with the older wiser version of them, rather than banking on nostalgia to bring them together. Do you understand what im saying please. They are no longer the same people so they can no longer be in love from the get go! But! They still mean the world to each other and they can fall in love again! But this time they get to do it right, and good, and in a healthy and mature way!! And personally, that is a much more fulfilling story than an immediate reunion and relationship.

Those japanese comics in where everyone lives and Shion is extremely passive aggressive and bitchy to the twins are my favorites
Shion: Athena may forgive you but I won't 🙃
