Trannosaurus said: Futaba keeps trying to convince herself and to 'prove' her love for Touma is real is so unbearable to read lol. BUT as much as I dislike Futaba x Touma.....that kiss was pretty cute. THIS LIKE FUTABA PLS FUTABA X KOU NOW IM BUIRFJKND GRAHH i think she's mistaking her "love" for touma she's in love with the fact that he's so nice to her and he cares about her but we all know eventually futaba x kou is happening |
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)dont hate me cause you aint me( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
| @jose21 Well we all have our own interpretations of what moving on is and isn't, and I'm too lazy to delve any further into this and imma just go back to watching HxH. I don't even like Touma, but to keep it simple and to reiterate what I was saying, I don't see a huge problem with Touma and Futaba trying to keep the relationship going as long as they both want to make it work, even if it ends up with them breaking up. As for Touma, all I can say is that he hasn't learned the concept of moving on, and let's hope he does soon. Futaba took a while to get there too, and is still in the process of it. Lastly, at this point, I think a huge part of the reason why Touma isn't willing to let go of Futaba is because he doesn't want to lose to Kou, who he obviously doesn't like. Which is petty of him, but what can you do. Unless someone else, like Shuuko or Yuuri maybe, tells Futaba that her relationship isn't going well, I doubt they'll end it anytime soon. Or unless Kou tells Futaba how he feels. |

BUT as much as I dislike Futaba x Touma.....that kiss was pretty cute. I don't even think that kiss was cute, yet another "surprise" kiss from Touma because he sure as hell isn't getting one otherwise. All I see is Futa getting "comfortable and used to" the thought of being with Touma, as if it were a habit she was forming. I don't even know why she started to date him in the 1st place, like she wasn't interested in him at all. All he had going for him is that he was "nice" and was interested in her, hardly the basis for a good relationship. There isn't anything to "work out" because on a fundamental level it won't work because one party isn't actually in love with the other. This isn't an arranged marriage its high school dating. I still don't see her actually being romantically interested in him, rather she is just trying to be a good person and girl friend. This was the 1st chapter she was actually thinking about what she wants and I wonder why... SHE WAS THINKING OF KOU. |

| I like Touma but why is he pushing himself to Futaba even though Futaba still has feelings for Kou? Its not even love yet. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
SweetCoconut said: I like Touma but why is he pushing himself to Futaba even though Futaba still has feelings for Kou? Its not even love yet. This is where Futa is at fault, she is giving him false hope. While he thinks that she is actually trying to succeed in the relationship she is actually just trying her best to be a good girlfriend which is a band aid at best. |
| Dangit, I thought (or maybe I just hoped) that Futaba would tell Touma that a relationship with him just isn't working out. Instead, she proposed that they be more honest with each other, which was a nice dialogue in its own right, but I'm still a bit disappointed. I hope Futaba comes to the realization soon that her and Touma's entire relationship dynamic is unhealthy and can't be forced. It seems like she's starting to inch towards that conclusion with little moments of doubt, despite her still seeming to try to convince herself to stay with Touma all the time. I have a feeling that we're quickly approaching the turnaround. I can handle this whole Futaba and Touma thing a lot better than the Narumi ordeal. I'm just so glad that there's been so much progress on Kou's end of things lately. Aerensianic said: The suffering is real for Kou x Futaba shippers. Why is there this paranoid thought in the back of my head whispering that the author is trolling us and that the real story is the development of love between Futaba and that pissant Touma? NOOOOO Don't even make me think about that idea. (Even though I doubt that'd happen, it'd be the worst troll move ever.) |

NOOOOO Don't even make me think about that idea. (Even though I doubt that'd happen, it'd be the worst troll move ever.) Well... looking how they try to increase sales of volumes. I don't think there can be other end than Kou/Futaba. But I just have hope, since Sakisaka-san said that she don't want write long manga and AHR don't be long manga, hope she don't changed her mind or somebody make her change her mind... That we will get at last few volumes with Kou/Futaba as couple. I can't belive she wasted so many volumes on T/F crap... and Kou/Futaba become couple in final chapter. |
| that bitches piss me off |
| Am I the only one who after watching Touma on AHR, make me like Takumi from strobe edge a lot more?...... I mean while Takumi didn't want to be the reason Ren and Ninako weren't together (he didn't want to be pitied from Ninako), Touma does not seem to care. Also, Takumi surprise kiss was more like a way for him to free Ninako, while for Touma, his surprises kisses are to convince Futaba to stay with him. |

| I never seen so many whiners gathering at one place. Kou fucked up so let him suffer for a bit? |

| If you were to get rejected by a guy, you would go back to him as soon as he wants you back? You're a dumdum. |

Then I guess you are the type who dates somebody you don't even like just to get back at your ex-boyfriend. Anyway, the suffering for quite a few chapters has been for Touma rather than Kou, so whats your point? |

Anyway, the suffering for quite a few chapters has been for Touma rather than Kou, so whats your point? First of all, Kou was never Futaba's boyfriend at any point so please stop embarrassing yourself by trying to judge who I am. Second of all she basically confessed twice to Kou, first time he disappeared, second time he rejected her. So now that he's ready for her, you want them to be together and live happily ever after. Just be quiet and read the manga. |

Would you think his feelings for you were real? can you really call Touma Futaba's boyfriend, he might be by name.............. |

| Wow you and your bolding of my responses. What is even your argument exactly? I'm not the one that has a problem with how this manga is going. I could care less whether Futaba is dating Kou or Touma at this moment because the manga is still running and I have zero input in what happens. Your ad hominem responses are laughable and should stop. |

Your ad hominem responses are laughable and should stop. Sorry if you didn't like me bolding your response. I just wanted to point out that you are telling me to be quiet and read the manga, when you are doing pretty much the same as me, and actually I find it weird that you came to place full of whiners only to whine about them. |
|
| I am not doing the same as you. I'm not attaching my personal feelings towards a manga that's clearly not finished and whining about it. What is it with you and illogical fallacies? |

How is this different from what I do. Smooched said: If you were to get rejected by a guy, you would go back to him as soon as he wants you back? You're a dumdum. I still find it weird that you came to place full of whiners only to whine about them. I mean why would you that? why bother coming to a discussion where about 90% of the people will whine about Touma x Futaba when that irritates you? |
|
| Last response, because we are spamming this forum. I am defending what the author is doing because that's the perspective coming from the author. The fact that you want what fulfills YOUR personal wishes makes you a whiner. I'm simply making an observation here, so with you using "me whining against whiners" as your core argument is an illogical fallacy. By the way look it up because I can tell that English is not your primary language. You still don't have a valid argument to even debate with me, because all you're telling me is to not respond to all the whiners because that makes me a whiner. If you want to discuss this more, pm me, but your responses are so dull and pointless, so at least come up with something interesting I can respond to. |
| This is going nowhere, but at least now I understand that you are trying to do the same as tingy on a previous page, but how was I supposed to know you were defending what the author is doing. I guess it was my mistake for misinterpreting your previous comment: Smooched said: I never seen so many whiners gathering at one place. and thinking it was a: complain in an annoying way (http://www.merriam-webster.com) complain or protest in a childish fashion. (http://www.thefreedictionary.com) Complain in a feeble or petulant way. (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com) against whiners like me. |

| For the two gentleman I've been replying to. Look man, you're entitled to your opinion, that's cool. Btw, don't make it seem like we're debating KouxFutaba vs ToumaxFutaba because we all know who makes the better pairing. This story is progressing at a good pace, they've been dating for around 10 chapters? The excessive "omg why isn't Kou and Futaba" together yet after every chapter is released is annoying as hell. Just let the story play out. She has her reasons for dating Touma, selfish or not. She is prideful and openly told Kou she won't chase him forever. So now it's Kou's turn to chase her aggressively, which he has not done enough of. He starting to though. As for Touma, he's going to get what he asked for. He knows she likes Kou, so he knows that he has a chance to have his heart broken. No sad violins for him. Do I have to be anymore clear? lol |
 Aya said such good thing in this chapter, wish Futaba could heard it. |
| At this point I think that Futaba is the making this manga very frustrating too read. And is it just me or is Kominato becoming the best guy in this manga??? |
 |
| Eh, the story was good and adorable at the beginning. I liked Kou and Futaba. Until the whole Nanami, and love drama there. I can't stand it when you get someone who goes back and forth or is decisive of who they want to be with. It's ok at first...for a little while, but when it becomes a cycle then it does get frustrating to read. Right now, I don't even care about the love triangle with Futaba. I don't really care who she ends up with. I'm just reading reviews too see about Murao. So much more pleasant. |
jose21 said: Narumi going Yandere is the way to go, just kidding...... Touma, I like your technique. Next time I feel insecure of the girl's fellings for me, I should steal a kiss, and bear hug her until she loves me. Also, IDK but Touma has been thinking and worrying a bit too much about Kou lately, he should just come out of the closet. MY GOSH, STOP MAKING ME LAUGH! AHAHAHA |
Silvertide said: ...... Some people keep bringing up that Kikuchi is sweet and wonderful and deserves to have a wonderful life and yadda yadda yadda....Am I missing something..? Since when did he become all of these things...Now, don't get me wrong. I don't hate all male characters who come and try to take the girl away. In Strobe Edge, I liked Andou. In this other manga, I can't remember it's name, but whatever you get it, I liked the guy she wasn't supposed to end up with too. I am capable of liking characters with that role. But not Kikuchi. Whenever I see his smile, a picture of his face, or even his name, I cringe and a horrible disgusting feeling boils up inside of me. I can't control the distaste I feel for him. There is nothing lovable about him the way Sakisaka portrays him. I wish she would have shown him as a character first, but from the moment Kikuchi was introduced, he has had his eyes on Futaba. We never got to see him any other way. So in the end, the way he has been introduced is very annoying and I have no way to ever like him. Everyone before me has already said what I don't like about Kikuchi's actions, so I'll say no more about him. THIS!! thank you for this...you basically took the words straight out of my head! |

I really love this manga , especially how Kou and Futaba is slowly developing , until the school festival part whereby he kissed her and I was like omg Kou is finally opening up to Futaba accepting her and they are gonna get tgt! But what seriously say what , in the end he decide to leave Futaba and stay by Narumi's side. Starting from there , I dislike the whole love triangle drama thing. Can Kou and Futaba get together already. arghhh and yeah , Murao and Kominato character is starting to get more interesting now.. |

| I caught uP! yay! it looks like the anime will not be reaching the point where Futaba is going out with Touma.. but I could be wrong since the ep 7 preview shows Narumi already and she doesnt show up in the manga way later >.< sooo i hope they dont rush this series and it gets a 2nd season but animes like say i love you and my little monster never got 2nd seasons soo oh well reading the manga for me i guess I want chapter 43 already. people alreadyshoing translations on tumblr Q_Q |
| I'm sorry but I just hate Touma so much I can't control it. Speaking of Touma and thinking back on it, HE HAD NO REASON TO FALL INTO STALKERISH AMOUNTS OF LOVE AT ALL. |

LittleStar said: Aya said such good thing in this chapter, wish Futaba could heard it. Hey LittleStar, I think that this sentence was important, too! I have a feeling that this is an anticipation of how the manga will end, and also the moral of the whole story. You make mistakes in life, but the real deal is to face them and be honest, even if it is painful. Kou is living this now, after confronting Narumi and losing Futaba - he made two girls suffer and is now suffering himself, but he's not giving up and he's trying to fix things. Futaba, she is still not realizing her mistake. But she'll have to, and will have to hurt Touma, in order to be true to herself and grow up. Yes, it is annoying, but I like how the characters are growing up. This will make everything sweeter when they finally get together, because...they will not be just a crush anymore, they will be two people who fought for their love and won. |
| I don't know, but I think the morals of this manga are a bit twisted. Basically, what I learned from this manga is: - Don't give a shit about other girl who needs my help cause otherwise some other guy will take my girlfriend. - Trying to help other person other than my love one is being selfish. - If a stalker pressures me into date her, it will be my fault to hurt her later on when things don't work out. - Stealing kisses and bear hugs will make any girl love me back. - If I know something that could fix the relationship of my friends, I should stay quiet and hope for them to move on........ |
|
| Worth for Kominato and Murao. |
| I don't need a muffler, I'm too hot anyway. Anyway, Touma is still dabes <3 |
 |
| Stop kissing Kou's girl........... |
 |
| Poor Touma. Even he knows he's not the one getting picked. |

| WTF was that!! that's fucking awful and fucking sucks. |
 |
| Ugh, the story in the second half of this series reeeeeeeeeally slowed down. Usually when it's the part where main girl ends up dating/spending more time with guy no.2 things get more interesting, but this is just bland. Everyone is acting a little too perfect and nice, there's almost no jealousy (and Touma had every right to be at least A BIT mad or hurt after what happened). Futaba is also too nice to just follow her heart, and Kou is just... slow, I guess. Meh, it's neither fun or exciting anymore, time to end this. |
  |
| Okay really, what is even happening now? Touma is becoming even more caring and he's building a healthier relationship with Futaba. Yet the plot will demand that she go back to Kou because main couple syndrome. I get that Futaba has been trying to rationalize away her real feelings for Kou and the main theme is likely going to be something like "listen to your heart", but this is just starting to feel like an NTR doujin that some anti-Touma sadist made for maximum pain. |
