Anime fans will often feel upset when teased potential couples never get together by the end of a movie or series. It happens in other entertainment media. However, it’s particularly prevalent in the anime medium. This is especially true for potential couples whose romance is teased throughout the medium’s runtime; if the fans’ patience isn’t rewarded with some solid form of on-screen romance (a confession, a proposal, a kiss, a date, marriage, children, etc.), it will be as though they wasted their time. However, some manga can deliver a satisfactory ending where a romance is teased but never fulfilled. For example, Dr. Stone teased fans with the prospect of Senku Ishigami and Kohaku becoming a couple. Since neither of them was interested in such a relationship, only the hardcore shippers were upset that the series ended without these two confirming any feelings of love for each other.However, Senku and Kohaku’s chances of getting together have increased with the Dr. Stone sequel micro-series, 4D Science. While people are happy to see a hard-working guy like Senku have his efforts rewarded with a love interest, some feel he should have remained single. To them, pairing him off when he said he wasn’t looking for love would betray his character development. It won’t be possible to satisfy everyone over Senku and Kohaku’s relationship status. However, with good writing, the result should satisfy enough of the fanbase.Senku’s lack of love interest has led many fans to present various interpretations of his sexual orientation. Most consider him aromantic asexual or somewhere along that spectrum. No such words have been used to describe Senku in Dr. Stone proper, but his words and actions around women (especially those who flirt with him) have been cited as heavily implicit evidence; he never shows any signs of stimulation or intrigue. Even if nobody in the story declares anything, one could argue he’s been coded as such by the writers.
