And here comes the controversy! Twitter user “@toarutoa” shared a chart showing the “sentimental connections” between the main characters of the anime Kaguya-Sama: Love is War, generating a buzz among otaku. For example, Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane share a mutual love, while Miko Iino shares a one-sided love with Yuu Ishigami, who in turn shares a one-sided love with Tsubame Koyasu. On the other hand, Nagisa Kashiwagi and Tsubasa Tanuma share a mutual love, while Maki Shijou has a one-sided love for the latter.

However, the question that starts the debate is: what is Chika Fujiwara's role in a romantic comedy like Kaguya-sama: Love is War, if she's not in love with anyone?Finally, the same user writes in the post: "This is Secretary Fujiwara, a heroine who isn't in love with anyone, despite being in a romantic comedy."

The post attracted numerous comments from Japanese fans; here are some of them:

"Exactly. I don't understand why she's so popular... She's boring!"

I'm sure you're right. Although she's somewhat maternal towards Miyuki Shirogane, would you say she at least likes him?

"If it's Secretary Fujiwara, have a rom-com with me."

"Stop! They know they mustn't touch their purity!"

"That's a lie, Secretary Fujiwara is in love with me!"

One day she's going to fall in love with a sumo wrestler

"I suppose I myself will marry Fujiwara's secretary."

"Chika-chan is dating love!"

"She's just another random waifu to sell action figures."
