True, but not so much in the series. Only his year mates and Ryouma are unintimidated enough to even consider teasing Teh Buchou. Which makes it that much more tempting to do it in fanfic and fanart, of course. XD
I can't take Sakuno and her role seriously enough to even consider her and Ryouma actually hooking up in anyway. I still find her inability to stand on her own two feet very annoying but she mostly falls into the "too pathetic to hate" category for me. I do love manga!An (the anime version not so much) and at least she played a role by being the catalyst for Momo's revelation, etc. so it's sad we hardly see much of her. I also think she's cute.
But overall, female characters have so little relevance to this series I'm not surprised Konomi pretty much did away with them after the first few volumes. The anime does them even more disservice by forcing them onto the audience.
