It still amazes me how much queerbaiting there was in this series only for literally every single character to be straight and paired up. Just incredible.

For real! Everyone ended up with a member of the opposite sex and had at least one kid. In a family that big, I fully expected at least one to be canonically gay.

I mean

Aya and his eventual wife were still explicitly bi and I got the feeling they were actually poly but, you know, Japanese sociopolitical landscapes at the time

The intended audience for the original (Japanese schoolgirls in the 90's) implicitly understands that gayness is merely an adolescent "phase" everyone grows out of. Natsuki Takaya doesn't care that you happened to read her manga too and doesn't understand your 21st century Western norms. Hence: not queerbaiting.

Not that I'm defending anything else about the shitty series (both of them).

It's still queerbaiting.
