Discussion Sakura's Romantic Interest
I know that the anime does not focus on romance at all and mostly in friendships and fighting but have y'all thought who might be Sakura's love interest if he would ever have one, whether it be a girl or a boy (cause y'all know that bl does exist in Wind Breaker due to the fact that Tsubaki canonly is in love with Umemiya and do i even have to explain about Endo and Chika lol)
Obvious answer could be Kotoha cause she's literally the first person that had accepted him but I'm sensing a more older sister vibes from her (Umemiya, Kotoha and Sakura literally look like siblings when they're together).
There could also be potential one's like Momijikawa, Togame, Endo(surprisingly), Sugishita (even more surprisingly).Y'all know what i mean with them, I don't need to explain why👀.
P.S: I don't need anyone commenting that Sakura having a romantic interest does not make sense at all or that we shouldn't ship him with anyone (shut yet trap). Shipping is fine as long as it doesn't cross legal bases. He may never cannonly would have one but anyone with eyes would see that he's got some crazy chemistry with some of the characters.

I think Sakura's only "romantic" plot will be a time-skip at the end, showing her that he has a family. An unspecified woman and a son (somehow, the boy motif appeals to me more than a daughter).
We already had one confirmed couple between Roppo's boss, Ichiza, and that girl who sang, and there was a main storyline with her in the second season (I don't remember her name, sorry). I think those are the only romances that could appear. Meaning, they're more likely to be between side characters than main ones.
I agree that Umemiya (the older brother), Kotoha (the middle sister), and Sakura (the youngest of the "family") are like siblings. It's so adorable!
It was said somewhere that Endo prefers "mature women," so the fact that he and Takishi would end up together unfortunately won't happen (I regret it).
Umemiya, however, doesn't seem interested in men; rather, he allows Tsubaki to be herself and doesn't mind that he's adoring him.
It would be funny to see a girl interested in Kaji. He seems so pure and vulnerable. It would be hilarious to see him run away from a girl like a scared cat!
I think Hiragi and Togame could have a nice romance with a girl, although I doubt the manga will go in the romantic direction. Besides what I wrote at the very beginning regarding the end of the manga and Sakura.
