Coming out of nowhere isn't really the problem. The difference is that the ship teases in season 1 were
subtle. While they could be taken in a romantic way by some, that's not necessarily what they meant.
Here we have them almost kissing on the lips and then Sena's father calling Kodaka up and saying they're engaged. There's quite a difference.
I feel when you start implementing romance in a show that does not need it, it becomes something along the lines of a parasite, slowly killing it's host while nourishing itself. That's why I very much prefer romance in a non-romantic show to be subtle.
