Wonder if it'll cover the Paris arc or if it'll be something original.
At any rate, really loving the direction the manga's been going with recent developments. Defied a lot of expectations. |

^The Paris arc was cute. Got so many LOLS out of the French "I WANNA BE A MANGA-KA" girl and how she draws stories "because Japan is like THIS, right!?"
I'd really like a second season but even that probably couldn't cover everything that has happened so far...... |

If spoiler[he ends up with Yoshino ] tables will be flipped.
They have ZERO chemistry and it makes no sense; pffft I'd choose Neko for him over that girl.....at least he and Neko had moments here and there. |

Zero chemistry?? They had more moments than Neko, and it makes perfect sense
 But we'll see who wins in the end! (And he'd BETTER choose someone).

fffffff what chemistry did they have!? I don't think they suit each other at all.
Yes, he better choose Aki. He spent the most time with her, had the most doki-dokis with her, finally got her to open her heart up again and see it was okay to love again. You don't make all that progress with a main heroine and then dump her down a shaft in favor of her initally mean-spirited maid who would never NTR her mistress in the first place.... Aki has already had her heart broken once; it would be redundant to see the same thing happen again. It doesn't make sense for the plot OR the characters. It would be like (Nisekoi spoiler) spoiler[suddenly making RakuxTsugumi canon.] Total WTF situation there. |

Uh, how about all the sincerity, playfulness, and fun they had? So much fun, that even spoiler[Yoshinos sister] caught onto it early on in the series??
Yeah, Aki opened up recently, but it was built on lies! Almost the entire time, she was being mislead by a guy she thought she knew, so those moments weren't genuine in my opinion. And, yeah, it might be mean-spirited for Aki go get her heart broken again, but it wouldn't be redundant, because different things would come from it - instead of regressing again, Aki would grow this time. The girls would both grow from this:spoiler[ Aki would become less selfish and dependant on Yoshino, and let down her guard. And Yoshino will finally start living her life instead of letting Aki decide her life for her out of guilt, and be happy. The best friend trope will be fulfilled.] And that sounds like a pretty good ending to me! |

You can have fun with friends too. I didn't catchy anything romantic about their scenes together. All the drama was saved for his scenes with Aki.
Not really. Any time Makabe and Aki had chemistry, he was feeling it as much as her, as evidenced by the blushing and nervous glances and thoughts going through his head. You can't fake that kind of thing. |

Nah, Treeborn's got the right idea. spoiler[The Masamune Aki eventually fell for was a fake. Just the act he put on for the sake of his revenge. Masamune did get affected by her, but it's mostly due to his lingering feelings for who she was in the past (Aki too is more fixated on the fat Masamune than the present Masamune).
When it comes to Masamune and Yoshino, both knew the truth about each other. They didn't pretend to be some one else when they were together. The foundation for their relationship is much stronger.] |

Doesn't feel that way in chapter 46 though. Sorry guys, I just don't agree with anything either of you are saying.  At this point, I feel like the author is just trying to screw with our heads. Besides, Aki and Makabe are the ones who are all over the colored artwork and the manga covers together, not Yoshino and Makabe.
They're both on the website splash page, for crying out loud.

I mean, nothing is set in stone yet, we could still get the rug pulled out from under us. But that's just what makes most sense to me
 I just want an ending soon!

Doesn't change the fact that spoiler[when they start dating she tries fattening him up.]
And? Just because they're the central characters doesn't mean they're obligated to hook up. You know I hate it when authors force the leads together just because they are the leads. So this is a welcome subversion. If the author suddenly got cold feet and went with the 'safe' outcome at this point it'd be a serious asspull. Besides, Aki spoiler[being selfless for once and stepping back to giving Yoshino her blessing] would be a much more satisfying end to her character arc. |

Lol, then do show me an example of two characters from a romance series being on a splash page of a website or adverstisement and not hooking up by the end?
That doesn't exist. I'm telling you now. At least it doesn't with shoujo manga. I would be very surprised if shounen played it differently. Perhaps games are different, since you can pick any route you want. But this is a manga.
I do too......if the story isn't about the relationship between them, like in Amagi Brilliant Park or something like that....but this manga is CLEARLY about Aki and Masamune's relationship. And it does not matter about "false pretenses"; this is about screentime. It was Yoshino's damn fault in the first place! Why should she be rewarded? She screwed up BOTH their lives; if it wasn't for her, they'd probably would have been dating since they were eight up until now! I just don't understand Yoshino fans.
I'm pretty sure the author's intent was Aki being end girl in the first place. Though I could see it ending with just the three (Yoshino serves her afterall) and I'd be fine with that. |

Uhm, it makes perfect sense. spoiler[ She's the one who started this whole mess. She's the one who "ruined" his life. She's the Cinderella in this story.] |
