The author threw the relationship part in it for no apart reason. It's really redundant for people to argue over this to begin with, as their love story isn't that much out of context in comparison with the rest of the series' setups and plot points, but it's still not properly established. The only major component is that it's an anime/manga character trope where boy/girl dislike each other before deciding they do in fact have strong feelings for one another. If anything, I've seen people prefer this outcome because, in the overall perspective, not that many battle manga protagonists ever establish relationship this early, they usually do it post time skip at the story's epilogue. AgK!'s not exactly the greatest story ever told through manga. Also, killing female characters has nothing to do with establishing their relationship, it occurred fairly early in the series and, if you look at our categories, there are more deceased than living characters, which is kinda of the series' signature (and an unavoidable running joke within its community).
