I'm going to say something that you peoples aren't going to like: The only reason you peoples like Kris X Susie so much is because you project yourself unto Kris. That's the only reason. You like it because since Kris is your avatar, if they ge get laid, it's like if you got laid by proxy.

Yes, Noelle did not interact with Susie at all. Guess what? It's only chapter 1, a glorified demo. Toby wouldn't create a character with an obvious crush on another to get them cucked. Don't get me wrong, I like Kris X Susie too, I think it's cute. I also think Noelle X Susie is cute. So is Ralsei X Kris. They are all cute and valid. No one care if you don't think another ship isn't working. Just enjoy the picture and don't turn it into an excuse to bash another ship.

That also seems to be the reason for a lot of ships (and ship wars) in general, sadly.
