The way Tanizaki offered himself to join the club broke so many clichés and that made me tremendously happy and then, in the end, he was already playing into Haruhi's palms all the time ever since the fake letter. Their banter is from the start great and their chemistry is lovely.
The fact that she's the vice-president and is literally the third wheel makes her "protagonist" aura diminish which is something I'll happily read and consume. I love it when stereotypes and archetypes are unattached and made into something new.
She is eccentric but not quirky, Tanizaki is your regular guy that got involved in all of this, regardless he seems to have good intuition and knows how to perfectly read the atmosphere as well as trowing in the towel when it comes to the Holmes-Watson relationship in order to make things go faster. He seems like a good kid so far when he offered himself instead of yeeting.
