1) I never said she's "canon romance", I was talking about how the game gave her very obviously romantic scenes and isn't subtle at all about encouraging the players to pursue her
2) Because Akeshu is much more appealing to me? And idk what something being canon has to do with shipping and making fan content but I mean Akechi might not have a romance route but there's plenty of things about them in canon that can be very easily read as romantic
