A "safe" option that the story deliberately avoids because there is no spark. The Passive Suitor: Masao Sato (The Shy One) Poor Masao. He is the timid, crybaby of the group. He also has a massive, obvious crush on Shizuka.

To the untrained eye, Shizuka-chan is just the pretty, kind, slightly short-tempered girl in Shin’s kindergarten class. But her love life—or rather, the chaos surrounding it—is a masterclass in childhood crushes, unspoken jealousy, and the “girl-next-door” dynamic. A "safe" option that the story deliberately avoids

Masao’s love for Shizuka is pure and pathetic in the most endearing way. He writes her secret love letters (that he never delivers). He daydreams about saving her from a monster. When he holds her hand in a game, he faints from happiness. He also has a massive, obvious crush on Shizuka

And honestly? That’s the most realistic kindergarten relationship ever written. Masao’s love for Shizuka is pure and pathetic

However, there is a twist. While Shizuka appreciates Kazama’s maturity, she often finds him boring. When Kazama tries to show off his intelligence, Shizuka usually looks for Shin. Furthermore, in later episodes, it is implied that Kazama’s true affections might lie elsewhere (cough Action Bastard figurines... or maybe Shin himself? The fandom debates this), making the Shizuka-Kazama ship a non-starter.

There is a recurring subplot where Shizuka and Kazama walk home together (usually when Shin is stuck at the daycare center). The moms of the neighborhood often coo about what a "nice couple" they would make.
