Clara is the Veronica to Amelie’s Betty and Iruma’s Archie, despite the former two really not looking like it at first.
I’d definitely be rooting for Clara and her genuine effort to really charm Iruma over. I think she genuinely loves him, even though she interprets it as wanting to play with him more. It’s real cute.
Unfortunately for her, Amelie exists, and she’s just a better romantic fit for Iruma. She’s more mature about her feelings (or at least she knows what love is), loves the guy unconditionally (she knows he’s a human and knows that her father isn’t a fan of this), and wants to make him a better person, for his own benefit, from the word go.
It doesn’t help that I can’t really think of Iruma and Clara without adding Azz. Those are the Three Amigos right there, and putting Iruma and Clara together upsets that balance. Not to mention that there’s a lot of romantic subtext behind Iruma and Amelie’s interactions.
