And yes! The shipping is a fandom thing, not something I'd expect to happen in the comics (except for Emil/Lalli, there's too much subtext there for that to not be intentional, and I highly doubt Minna would be the type of author to go for queerbaiting even if the romance never becomes explicit). It really is nice that she doesn't resort to rigid gender roles and everyone being allo-cis-straight but leaves room for interpretation in other directions.
I'd love to see you tackle this for Hannu and Ville, eventually probably. :D
