Murao, Murao, Murao, either go after Kou if you really want him to leave sweet Touma and Futaba alone, or just let it be. Why do I have the feeling she will end up suffering more than anyone else, even if she is not part of the love triangle. Poor Kominato, he really is the only one I can feel sorry for not getting the girl he likes. Futaba, if she really feels sorry for Touma, she should stop that fake relationship and get her feelings straight before starting dating someone for real. Touma, sure keep pushing your feelings into her just don't go crying if things don't go your way, and please don't get another earring or a tattoo in her honor if she dumps you (It isn't cute, it's quite creepy and won't make you look cool). Kou, come on, you have been a jerk before, whether you confess to Futaba and ruin her beautiful "relationship" with Touma won't make you more evil nor an angel if you succeed. Actually, I would say it is more evil to keep lying to her and yourself. Call me crazy, but I am sold with Murao x Kou, I want more Kou X Murao moments like previous chapters. I don't really like Kou's brother, and Kominato, well, I feel sorry for him, but he deserves better I guess. Anyway, I think it would be quite interesting if Futaba would have seen Murao getting cozy with Kou. Most likely, Kou will break down next chapter, can't wait for that. |

Mother of... O.O please, plase, please Murao, don't fall for Kou. Seriously O.O. I had other theories about her relationship with him, but the last pages really made me shiver. Brrr. And poor Kominato! I still don't really understand Shuuko even after 10 volumes, but it would be nice if she finally could get her head together and throw herself in his arms. I feel so sorry for him ç.ç argh, Murao, what's wrong with you! >.< |

At this point, I prefer Kou x Murao. Kou and Futaba had many chances to be together already but they messed up. I find it annoying for Kou to be trying to get closer to her again after of what happened. The new Futaba is annoying with her 'fake' relationship and she continues it. She could have been more honest with herself and stay single rather forcing herself with a guy whom she doesn't even love. And actually it would be quite unique for the female protagonist to end up with nobody while her friends end up with someone. But most likely, Murao either will make a move with Kou and get rejected or in the end she will realize without doing anything that she cannot have Kou since he is still after Futaba. She couldn't have his brother either, so she will be the most hurt followed by Touma. There is still Kominato but I don't care about him, he never seemed very important. |

Crazy very crazy theory but what if Murao's true intentions are to help Kou and Futaba indirectly by making Futaba believe that she (Murao) is after Kou, and provoke some kind of jealousy. Just think about it, Futaba sees her getting cozy with Kou, and then ask her, how can she do that when Kou is supposedly with Narumi. Murao then tells Futaba the true that Kou is not with Narumi, so he is free and she is not doing anything wrong. That way Murao can't be blame for getting on Touma's way. I mean, is not like she deliberately told Futaba the true to help Kou, and with Futaba now knowing the true, it is totally up to her to decide what to do, and if she is jealous of Kou x Murao, well, it should be clear that she made a mistake. Also, most likely if Murao sees Futaba getting jealous, she will be convince that Futaba is not really that happy being with Touma. |

Personally, I'm getting fed up with this series. It's been 10 volumes already, and nothing is solved and everything is just at the same point right where it was from the start. It's getting freakishly annoying. We got plenty of "Oh" moments, as if something is about to happen, and then... death. Nothing happens. Let's just all go back to where we were at the start. I also don't think Murao is falling for Kou at all. She never had anything to do with him in previous volumes, it just happens to be that she noticed the feelings Kou has for Futaba, and she's trying to solve it in her own special way. I think that she wants them to be together, but she wants to make sure it's the best thing for both of them, and that Kou is fully devoted to Futaba, and no loose strings. Having Murao falling for Kou at this point in time, would be a crappy move by the mangaka, since it's only going to complicate things more. And I don't think that's something that the mangaka is trying to to more (since he already has way too many complicated things that he needs to solve... and soon, for that matter). |

I thought that for a moment also since Murao can be unpredictable and we don't know much of her inner feelings. But I hope it won't come out that way, it will be rather cliche. However, if the mangaka wants to resolve things quickly and finish AHR, then she might. I know she is supposed to be the most mature in the group but she should care more about her life; At this moment, I don't think she is that happy with her current situation. She couldn't have Kou's brother and she could easily feel left out since both of her good friends have boyfriends unlike her. |

I'm starting to hint that Murao is beginning to fall for Kou, correct me if I'm mistaken, but it just seems that she's trying to keep Kou from expressing his feelings to Futaba. I mean, maybe she's being a good friend to Futaba, not wanting to mess up her relationship, but she's really beginning to give me the vibe that she's starting to like Kou. And, in all honesty, Futaba shouldn't be dating someone when she's thinking of someone else. She has to clarify her feelings, otherwise it'll look like she's using Touma. If she runs back to Kou after breaking up with Touma, it'll kinda make Futaba's character seem like a bad person? To dump someone just to run into someone else's arms. And Touma is so naïve to believe he can make someone forget about a person they have loved for so many years. As for Kominato, he needs to step up his game. If he /really/ is wanting to win Murao's heart, he needs to start acting it instead of talking all big about him winning her heart. IDK, this chapter just really got to me. It's starting to make me flustered about what is everyone's inner feelings. |

I wonder Sakisaka-san lingers with progress in Kou/Futaba ship, because of upcoming anime... Also what's wrong with Shuuko? This isn't like Futaba and Touma are married and have children, though, and so there are divorces when couple have children they are just dating, also Futaba isn't in love with Touma... Kou don't listen to anyone and just go to Futaba and tell her everything! I don't want see Shuuko/Kou! I don't want war between Aya and Kou, because of Shuuko... -.- Really, if quality of this manga will be hurt because of anime, I will be pissed off... ;/ |

Ok, this ch made me somehow reach a judgement about Kou, Futuba and Touma. Up till now I still had that slight hope for Kou to redeem but it's no longer there. I still have some complaints about Touma but over all as much as I know it isn't gonna happen I wish he'd end up with her. 1st of all, the main things I keep hearing about Touma is a) manipulative and b) jealous freak Let me just say that if Touma is manipulative bec he's trying to get the girl he likes to like him back while she still hasn't completely moved on but while flat out telling her that he's planning to do so, then Kou who's trying to get the girl he rejected to like him while she has a BOYFRIEND and has "supposedly" moved on by faintly flirting, lying and trying to get her attention is waaay more manipulative. AS for the jealousy part, Touma is still in the healthy zone. There's nth wrong in being upset over your gf's ex hanging around her or some guys thinking that he's her guy esp whom he knows she used to and probably still has feelings for. He didn't do anything bad based on it not to Futuba nor the other parties Kou/ those guys. So he doesn't come out as the obsessive bf type and definitely not a psycho. This ch only confirms it. The way he eases Futuba's worries and even by dropping that comment to Kou. In Kou's case though, he too is being jealous and the change in his behavior is bec of that but it'is also natural bec the girl he likes was snatched by some other guy so both of their behaviors seem pretty normal to me. With that said, I'll just talk about what I think of the charas: Futuba: To tell the truth I only started thinking of her as an impressive chara halfway through. I was extremely happy when she chased after Kou, that time when he went to Narumi. Bec he had just kissed her and she liked him, he deserved that chance and she gave it to him. but what does he do? hugs the other girl. Despite knowing what his answer was gonna be she still said it. She valued him just that much.Then when he hugged her that time later, she told him that she wasn't gonna be chasing him for life unlike most shoujo chara in her shoes who would accept anything so long it's from the main guy. She has self-esteem! She didn't want to lead Touma on so she told him about her feelings thus she's not being unfair. Now, for people blaming her for dating him while still having feeling for Kou, it's not wrong bec to her Kou is "supposedly" with sb else now yet she still tried to make it happen but he rejected her so sooner or later she'd move on and be with sb else and bec she told Touma bout it and he knowing that still asked her out then it's fine. (He gets hurt later, he has himself to blame) Also she's not doing this halfheartedly bec she knows that there is a chance that she'll like Touma bec she already likes his personality. Kou: He's a complex chara and as he started opening up to everyone it was awesome, he grew so much and the influence Futuba had on him in that department made me ship them even more. But he turned out to be selfish, he puts himself and his pride above everything else that's why he couldn't hold onto Futuba :'( why didn't he confess when he realized he still liked her? what was he waiting for? another guy stealing her? her confessing to him earlier? and by choosing Narumi, he hurt both girls and technically he was choosing himself (he wanted to help the "him" that he saw in Narumi) but didn't really think of what it'd be like for her if he failed. Even though I hate Narumi I still think Kou was a jerk to her. And there's a fact that people who ship Kou x Futuba tend to overlook is that Kou was planning to forget about Futuba and stay with Narumi but couldn't do it o.O which makes me wish that if Futuba doesn't end up with Touma she shouldn't end up with Kou. He takes her for granted and thinks of her too lightly. He knew that she'd get hurt if he chose Narumi, so why let her suffer to ease the suffering of another girl? if sb is bound to get hurt then he should choose his girl. On top of everything, Aya had already warned him! and he was like nth to worry and even now in this ch he says it couldn't be helped. WTH!! I'd respect him more if he confesses to her now rather than try to spend some time alone when she's supposed to be meeting her bf! or even better He should go to Touma and tell him he still loves her and if she still has the slightest bit of feelings for him he'd want her back since she actually still has them. what's with the sorry,sorry Touma: When he 1st appeared I was like go home, there's no place for you! and boy how many things changed since then! but it's not bec I was heartbroken by Kou that I started taking interest in him. It's bec of his personality. He's always going out of his comfort zone for Futuba's sake. Despite blushing so easily and being shy he still does things that would make him fluster. Despite having a bad experience with his ex, he still goes after her while she may still has feelings for some other guy. As for why I don't think this isn't taking advantage: bec he told her frankly that he was gonna make her forget, also bec he's not doing it halfheartedly. Unlike most rivals who'd think "it's ok as long as I'm by her side even if it's fake" he started this relationship while wanting to be her n1. *insert Klaus to Caroline: He was your 1st, I intend to be your last here* Also, he did try to give her time at 1st but thought it wasn't working. At least he is thinking of her position while Kou only thinks of himself (trying to steal Futuba bec he likes her but doesn't stop to think if she's happy or not) And I loved it when he scolded Kou *^* and now when he told him that he hated his half-heartedness bec that's what I hate about Kou the most. It's like Touma doesn't want Kou to take Futuba lightly that's how much he loves and treasures her. Even if he knows that Kou still likes her and is only pretending to be fine and even if it meant jeopardizing their relationship he still couldn't accept Kou talking with that tone! That just made Touma one of my fav charas. And I really don't think Shuuko has any feelings for Kou rather she doesn't want him to be led on to fall deeper when he's not ready to take action and might end up hurting Futuba again. So I'm not sure whose side she's on Kou/Touma but she's definitely on Futuba's side aka if Kou can take her back and make her happy she's fine with it if not he should let her take the shot with Touma. But I'm still not sure >.< |

Not sure, but to me it was Kou who said: "So you don"t have confidence?" and make him look like an idiot at the end, so I wouldn't be so proud of an action that make him look bad at the end; Touma's face said everything, he got so frustrated that Kou was right. Also, I don't get what does Touma mean by half-heartedness. I got it when Murao said that to Kou, but from him........ I mean, is he telling to Kou to stop any attempt to get her back and completely cut ties or was that an invitation to him to actually try taking her back with a more frontal approach. For a non confident one first one make sense, and proves Kou's point, and for a jealous type like him the later would be quite interesting if that is what he meant. |

I hated when Touma sugar coated the fact that Kou got caught by the teachers, and made it look like it was fine. Poor Kominato, I think he deserves better. I hope that another girl shows up and makes him happy. IMO Murao shouldn't be saying anything. She was criticizing Kou for being half-hearted, but it looks like her comments instead of changing that, make him more that way. |

UGHHH. Why do nice guys always finish last in manga series? Kou is just being a home wrecker right now. Kikuchi's right, he's making half-assed moves on his girl, knowing in the emotional attachment that they share, and also knowing that he doesn't really have any real responsibility towards her. I wish the manga didn't try and glorify this type of behaviour from him as well. It's wrong to use a girls feelings like that, and Kikuchi, who has been nothing but understanding should be rewarded for it. |

I reallly really dislike Touma now that he's shown his true colors. Don't try to get with someone else's gf wtf - that's exactly what you did jerk. Murao - fake friends are the worst - I really dislike her too. It's bordering on hatred of her for me now. Futaba - she is just stupid to date Touma and believe him, going out with some pushy guy who is pushing away the most important person to her. She is a bad heroine now, she used to be a strong girl with conviction now she's just wishy washy. Kou - you sort of brought this on yourself though. The only character I like right now is Kou's best friend. If you guys are saying right and Kou does take him up on a challenge that would be interesting or if the guys get into an all out fight punching each other that would be interesting but the way this is going hhhfff. it's crappy to read. Not sure I even want to keep reading this overdone melodrama. This is more torture than pleasure to read. But I really did not like the morals of the characters in her other series either - it glorified stealing a guy from his gf and the only character I liked in that one was Andou so I guess I should have known. |

Hilarious, didn't know they got married, plus she still doesn't love him. What does he mean with half assed? does he really want for Kou to really try take her back. I would think that's the last thing he would want.

Isn't perhaps Kikuichi doing the same thing. Sure, he was nothing but understanding, but IMO he stop being that the moment he decided not to wait for her feelings to change like he said he would. Anyway, Does anyone else thinks that Futaba is starting to look more like trophy girlfriend for Touma? |

Pure speculation, but could it be that there is more to Murao and Touma that we know about. We really don't know anything about Touma's ex girlfriend, who broke the poor guy's heart. Murao has some quite mysterious past that we know very little about. Murao and Touma's comments of Kou being half-hearted kind of similar. Murao concerns about Futaba being Toumas girlfriend; I mean they always sound more like she is worried about Touma rather than Futaba (Remember, even before they became a couple she was worried about poor Touma). Could be nothing or It might as well mean that she was after Kou all along. |

"So you don't have confidence?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD W/ A MANGA IN YEARS. Keep doing it Kou, I'm loving it ;) and lol why is Murao like that and i really don't see why would she fall in love with kou srsly so sad she was one of my fav characters and now she's starting to annoy me as much as touma (ok not really but i used to like her more), though im starting to like kominato more (he was so irrelevant to me tbh) |

That would make me feel better than her being after Kou - but doesn't Touma know she is her friend? The whole trophy gf thing does seem reasonable too, like showing he can get a girl not cause he really loves her. I don't know. I just know this chapter ticked me off even more than the last one, it really left a bad taste. |

@jose21, oh, my... now when you mentioned about this... Isn't Shuuko was always pro Touma? Isn't she encouraged Futaba to give Touma chance? Also now when she want Futaba be with Touma, and don't want somebody tell Futaba or Kou that they like each other? Oh! My! If this is true, then... >.< I can't... |

Gosh, Touma is really pissing me off. He's angry because Kou randomly met his girlfriend in the hall? He's angry because Kou helped her so that she doesn't get scolded? SERIOUSLY?! He should thank him for that. If Kou hadn't been there and hidden Futaba from the teachers, he couldn't met her after that. Also what's with that "Don't secretly make a move on someone else's girlfriend."? It's not like Kou raped her or something, he didn't even touched her that much. He just helped her. Like a good friend would do. What does Touma want Kou to do? Should Kou ignore Futaba completely or what? They're still friends after all. Like Kou said, only a guy without confidence would react like Touma did. |

I agree with the 1st part but calling it home-wrecking is XD taking it a bit too far XD and about the stealing sb from his gf/bf thing. But I completely disagree with the whole reward thing :/ Futuba is a girl! she has the right to choose whomever she likes, for better or worse. There is no such thing as rewarded for his doings by getting her. Otherwise nobody would be single on this earth. If she doesn't fall for him then that's that and they should break up. If she does then they're both happy :) |

I guess Futaba stressed that part as well for Touma. Anyway, I still think SilaChiin made a good point. And actually, I don't even think Touma made any sense in this conversation with Kou at all. Just like you said princessLily said: he simply lost it and said it while upset |

omg i was super unsatisfied with this chapter, i understand that side characters need backstory/sidestory too in order to keep the story from being too flat, but i hate it when chapters leave off on potentially juicy cliffhangers only to resolve it with something stupid. like that linen closet scene, are you kidding me. also, i don't think murao likes kou. just a theory, but i think that maybe something happened in her past that made her sensitive to the topic. like she was dating someone and other people meddled and stirred up drama. maybe that's why she was such a loner before, but we really don't know anything about murao other than she's quiet and likes sensei, so it's anyone's guess really. kou EVERYONE better get their sh*t together quickly because i am like 90% done with this wishy-washy series. -__- |

jose21 said: Pure speculation, but could it be that there is more to Murao and Touma that we know about. We really don't know anything about Touma's ex girlfriend, who broke the poor guy's heart. Murao has some quite mysterious past that we know very little about. Murao and Touma's comments of Kou being half-hearted kind of similar. Murao concerns about Futaba being Toumas girlfriend; I mean they always sound more like she is worried about Touma rather than Futaba (Remember, even before they became a couple she was worried about poor Touma). Could be nothing or It might as well mean that she was after Kou all along. I thought about this and I came to the conclusion that Shuuko feels sympathy towards Touma. She was rejected, she even don't get a chance to be with guy which she likes... so is like she herself and Youichi in Futaba and Touma. She want help Touma, because she see herself in him... or something like that... I don't really know how explain it... xD But speculation about Touma/Shuuko is so good! Is like... this could could really explain why Shuuko want Futaba don't find out, about Kou's feelings... and this whole support for them. This is better than Shuuko have feelings for Kou speculation. So I have hope for Touma/Shuuko. |

I totally don't see Shuuko as "liking Kou" at this point. She may be feeling guilty for keeping the truth about Kou's feelings and his real relationship with Nanami from Futaba before she made her decision to date Touma, though. If she isn't then she should be! She is not being a real friend to Futaba by keeping information from her. In short, she is the character that pisses me off the most in this manga. Touma is a close second because of his going after a girl who was vulnerable in the first place. But when he told her to take time and think about it, then turned around and told her she had to decide right now, right after her wounds were freshly re-opened, that made me really dislike him. Say what you want about how much of a "nice guy" he is, but I don't buy it. He is not a nice guy, he is a jerk. To add to it, he tricked her into kissing him the first time they kissed. (Granted, Kou forced a kiss on her too, but he then asked her if she wanted to and she responded quite favorably. Then Kou had to be an idiot and not be able to answer the question about him kissing Nanami... sigh...) I hate waiting for another freaking month!!!! |

zensunni said: Kou forced a kiss on her too, but he then asked her if she wanted to and she responded quite favorably. Kou forced a kiss, because Futaba said that this was just "their first kiss it was an accident", and that's why he forced her on kiss, so after this kiss she couldn't said "this was also accident". Touma kissed her, because he saw her with Kou... He took her kiss totally by surprise, and don't even give her chance to agree on this... -.- Second kiss with Touma and Kou tells everything. |

I totally agree... Actually, I posted about it, with links to pictures, in the Chapter 36 comment thread. She may have been thinking about Touma kissing her after the fact, but when he kissed her, she didn't look like she enjoyed it. Not compared to when Kou kissed her. I really hope this doesn't drag on too long. If it does it will spoil the story. My bet: Kou will have some sort of crisis over his mom before the end of the trip, Futaba will see him in pain and go to him without thinking, Touma will see her comforting him and either give up gracefully or go off on him, leading to one or the other being beat up, probably Kou, since he will probably be in bad shape anyway. Then Futaba will slap him and tell him to get lost, or just tell him that she realized that she still loved Kou and she shouldn't have been dating him. As I have mentioned before... I HATE WAITING A MONTH FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!!! |

I think this is kinda normal, that Futaba blushed and thought about Touma kissing her... especially when kiss is on the lips... Eh... I can't with Shuuko... She want Futaba to "move on" when she stuck in loving Youichi, but compared to Futaba's love for Kou is reciprocated... -.- |

When Touma said "don't go making moves on other peoples girl friends" I wanted to slap him and say KNOW YOUR PLACE SIDE CHARACTER. Everything he does just irks me. |

I wonder whether something bad will happen in volume 10, since they add drama cd for this volume... or maybe this was added just because of anime. Just like I think Kou show up in volume 9, because of anime advertisement. I don't know like other, but I just want Futaba to break up with Touma, she don't have to be with Kou after this, just break up with Touma and return to old style of manga. But please, Sakisaka-san give me Kou/Futaba as couple per few chapters before manga ends... Referring to the synopsis for next chapter, I have hope not only Kominato will think that Shuuko have romantic feelings for Kou, but also Futaba will notice this, too xD But it will be only the impression, just another misunderstanding because Shuuko don't have romantic feelings for Kou xD But I hope this Shuuko caring for Kou will be make some process for Kou/Futaba ship. |

i srsly dont like Kikuchi and i hate that futaba THINKS she/helself likes him. This manga is hurting my heart ew srsly just end with this farce, i srsly hate mangas that a girl like a boy then she go date other boys and comeback to the first and everything is fine no that's not true love BUT i believe that futaba is just "blind" and she never said she loves kikuchi back so, if the next chap or smth she says that i will stop reading this e hate this triangle thing i just want kou and futaba together, because their love was always mutual! ("Heroine Shikkaku " is an example i rly liked it before but the main is kinda bitchi now, and i know futaba isnt like that!) It just frustrates me when Kou can't confess to Futaba Faster, when she is going to be with Kikuchi I think i will not read Blue Spring Ride anymore. |

My gosh, Kou's fangirls are seriously pissing me off and i will exemplify why: Kou says: "If they find us together , it will be a big problem" *Kou goes out alone* his fangirls: kya kya, what a prince, he's perfect etc etc Kikuchi says: " If the teacher found both of you, then the two of you would've got a even worse scolding. Because Mabuchi was caught alone, he won't be scolded that bad right? I think it's better for him like this." Kou's fangirls: OH MY GOD, WHAT A MANIPULATIVE ASSHOLE, HE'S A JERK, FAKE BASTARD &$%@#%$! Where's the logic????? |

Nah, I wouldn't call him a manipulative asshole anymore since I doubt he has the brains to be one after this chapter. Seriously, who ask his rival to not make a move on his "girlfriend," only to tell him after that, that he is halfhearted (asking Kou to go all out to take her futaba back) and then end up getting mad when the other guy tells him "so you are not confident." Actually, that last part was quite funny, if anybody ever said Touma is as cute as a puppy, I completely understand now since all Touma could do was look like a dog growling after Kou told him that. |

I just feel sorry for Murao, Kominato and Tanaka-sensei. I am so curious about what will happen with Murao's lovestory though. And I love both Kou and Touma so I feel bad for either of them. Aaahhh.....! This shoujo manga really drives me crazy! |

What I find truly pathetic is author still expect us to believe Futaba loves Kou.Do you know how a 'lover' would act?When Futaba gets called to principals office after Tanaka sensei incident, Kou doesn't even hesitates a second.He can say, "ah it's better if only Futaba gets yelled instead of both of us.", but he doesn't. This is just pure fanservice at it's best at the moment.Give the female readers their Touma moments just to drag the plot with bullshit character inconsistencies and contradictions. I've never seen a logical explanation of why Touma is a good guy by the way.Yeah he is a happy go lucky guy with no real problems in his life, but what makes him a good person?He takes advantage of Futaba being idiot/heartbroken, he selfishly puts his love ahead of anothers well being(he tried to stop Futaba from talking with Narumi about Kou) and he is one of the main reasons why Futaba had wrong prejudice about Kou.(Kou being an asshole and Futaba being retarded played a part in this too) The only somewhat interesting character is Kominato at this point.I would seriously consider dropping this manga without him. |

Man Kou has insane plot armor if this wasn't a manga where he was the lead he would've lost the race a 1000 times already but he's the Male lead so he's still in the race and will probably no definetly win. I feel Touma's actions as quite reasonable this chapter even if it's just delaying the main ship. I do kinda not like how Futaba feels more more like she doesn't want to upset Touma than anything though. Still she told him the truth which is good in a healthy relationship and Touma easing her mind is reasonable even if it's more that he wants her to think less about Kou. Him telling Kou off is also reasonable because like Shuuko said they are dating in a consensual relationship. If Futable really is still in love with Kou she should brake off her relationship with Touma because it's not healthy of either of them to be in a relationship where the feeling isn't mutal. Also I really feel bad for Kominato he's a solid guy even if he steals food now and then. He's lucky though that Youichi is a teacher an adult and decided to reject Shuuko or else he'll really have no chance. |
