This chapter is terrible, especially since it followed the brilliant last chapter.

Could Kou be any more idiotic right now...

I like Kou far more than the worthless Touma, and yet right after the exceptional 21st chapter, the story has to pull this shit, even though it's obviously going to be yet another temporary, contrived misunderstanding, but now all the Touma shippers will begin reciting all the plethora of reasons that he's going to get with Futaba, even though that's obviously never going to happen.

@Lelouch22, OMG! I totally agree with you!
But I don't hate Touma,
but really Io-san will give him love scenes with Futaba,
but at the end Futaba will end up with Kou.
Why Io-san can make this clear like she made will Yuuri?
I would prefer only Yui was only one who gonna mess with Kou/Futaba ship...

Really, Io-san don't make me start hate this series (and Touma)

Agree completely with the end results, and also with preferring Yui to be involved with this rather than Narumi. This was just a really weak chapter with poor writing and inconsistent characterization. I hope this doesn't get dragged on for yet another 20 chapters, which will make no sense, given the nature of last chapter's kiss.

Oh my gosh WHY WHY WHY!!!! (I knew the previous two chapters were too good to be true...!)

I must say that I kind of expected this sort of development since if they are together already, the story would not have any more (major) plot developments.. But with this kind of development, it is as if the kiss(es) scene(s) did not happen at all!!

Rant to Kou: (Right, as if he can/will read this)
Kou what were you thinking?! I hope you have some great plan in mind! I really do not get why you want to go so far for Narumi.. But on the other hand, I suppose it also reflects how much you care for other people. That is quite admirable really, but do not do it in exchange for the girl that you love!! Urgh Kou...!!! So far I am still supporting you and Futaba, just dont make me start to support for Touma and Futaba...

After one chapter I don't start to hate Kou.
I love him, he have his temper,
but I love this part of him.
More I can start hate others (example: Touma)
when he start to act now after all this events...
OK, he can comfort her, but don't try convince her about forget about Kou.
I hate when something like this happen.
Don't run, just go and ask what this means... -.-
Everytimes she run before Kou, when something happens,
only Kou have mature enought to go to her and explain situations.
If Touma don't interfered with Kou/Futaba ship,
things turned out differently...

Really, hate this chapter...

I generally disliked this chapter. Narumi is just the gap between Kou and Futaba. She's what brings drama to the entire series, and that's her main purpose. The author is setting up a climax where Kou stop being an idiot and feeling sorry for himself. It's been stated many times that the sole reason Kou is so friendly to Narumi is because he feels bad for her.

Anyways, hopefully this dispute is solved soon. I feel Touma is going to become Futaba's support until Kou comes back into the picture. Blegh, it's not very good right now. Worst chapter imo.

You know what guys? I hated this chapter too ._.

I like when there are things that makes the story a little complicated you know? But everything went so bad that I couldn't say this right now. Kou leaves Futaba, runs to Narumi, Touma is with Futaba, frozen heart Kou (AGAIN), many dialogs that makes no sense (when he was on the phone, and his reactions also). When I was reading the translation version I couldn't understand lol (kidding, but it was very complicated though).

Sorry for my bad English...

I will quote sakuries from Tumblr to all of this people

Pfffft you sillies.

Now you say you want Futaba with Touma because Kou hurt her.

But then you’ll see all the lovely pictures of Kou and Futaba in the later chapters and be like, “awwwwww they are meant to be” and shit.


And I totally agree with this!
After one chapter I can't start shipping Touma with Futaba,
just because Kou hurt her.
And I don't understand people who start shipping Touma/Futaba,
just because this one chapter.
Kou/Futaba are created to be together!
I will ship them till the end! *.*

I am glad Touma was there to comfort her, but I still totally ship Kou+Fubata. Because, Kou and Narumi won't last that long since Kou "likes" her out of pity.

It just means that Kou doesn't love Futaba enough. That's why he decided to go after that annoying girl. And that isn't a good enough reason to excuse Kou to go after another woman just because she's lonely. If it were reality, he would be categorized as a player/ indecisive guy who is unstable and often runs from woman to woman. I'm fed up with him...in this chapter.

Futaba should just give him the cold shoulder until he apologizes! She at least have that right to be selfish like that!

Boo! Kou you suck!

Totally agree with everyone - From the last chapter to this one, what a joy killer! I don't hate the current situation with Narumi, but I would have enjoyed a little more KouxFutaba time before the action came in (⇀‸↼‶)

Also, I wonder when Kou will learn about Futaba being ostracized in middle school after he left? He hasn't already, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe then, Futaba will receive his love through sympathy too... (¬_¬)

Just kidding (─‿‿─;)

I love Kou, but he really needs to get his feelings together.

When I first saw that this manga had updated, I more or less celebrated because I remembered that
awesome kiss from the previous chapter. I started to read it okay they were being so cute in the beginning but then they brought Narumi to the conversation and then she was running away from him
and oh god, and then she was after him and he hugging that bitch of Narumi and my heart just couldn't
take it. D:
I honestly am mad at Kou. I don't hate him... yet. I just think she should move one because he (kou) hurt her. He kissed her and then he hugs that bitch (narumi). Who does that? Honestly, Futaba would be much happier with Touma.
JUST IN CASE, I don't hate kou. I like him but he was just so cbdhwvboaudc in this chapter ^^

Great thought. Although I don't think Futaba requires saving from anyone. If there's anyone that needs saving, it's Kou (despite his own savior complex). Kou probably thinks Futaba's strong enough on her own, to realize she's been hurt too.

I hated this chapter, just really hated it. Why did Futaba have to ask him about that disgusting horrible Narumi, I hate that girl. And why did Kou have to go to her. His friend was right. Futaba was stupid to act that way too. Hated this.

YES!!!I totally agree!!
in reality he'd be branded as a jerk..when she has feelings for him while he only felt pity for her, kou should just leave her alone!!letting her depend on him just would give her false hopes <if kou doesn't ever fall for her, which seems impossible>
what he is doing right now might just cause more pain, not only to him and futaba, but mostly for narumi..aaah...and that girl....!!arggghh

D.A.M.N.

I.am.so.pissed.right now.!!!!arrrrgggghh!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! i was really hoping this manga wouldnt go in this direction!!!! *annoying-conniving-bitch-ALERT*

yeah..im kind of harsh right now.!!!!yeah they both had circumstances..we should understand them..blah-blah-blah

it hasnt happened to me but maybe if i was narumi and i like kou, yeah i'd be sad, given what has happend to her, there were other options, but of course she'd be killing two birds in one stone by getting closer to kou

damn her..


hey touma!!you now have my support!!!i liked kou better before..but you just surpassed kou in my scale right now >,<

I was laughing so hard when Kou, Touma and Futaba were running, because it was like a domino effect.

Eh, I'm liking the Touma pairing more and more; I've liked him since the beginning when he was introduced FYI. I wasn't rooting for him very hard, because I think the outcome is obvious.. but who knows... ;)

Kou made his choice guys; LET HIM PAIR UP WITH HER. :P

I think they are overreacting because Kou and Futaba were so close to getting together (or so they [we] thought). I mean, I hope that's an overreaction. If it isn't, I consider none of them a real Kou x Futaba fan to begin with.

I think the author is trying to make Kou quite realistic. I mean, do not expect him to be the perfect guy and suddenly things will go super easy for him and Futaba. Also, I noticed that she is trying to make us feel pity for Narumi, but I just cannot pity her.

I don't hate this chapter because he went to Narumi. I hate it because it's becoming so cliche. Underdog takes the main girl and love rival takes the main guy. Then lots of stuff will happen and somehow, love rival and guy breaks up and a happy ending occurs.

I've resolved to NOT read this manga until it is complete. I don't care if it will take a year or more for the mangaka to finish- my laptop can not handle another bashing like the one it took when I read this chapter last night.

I went to bed angry and woke up angry and I remembered, the Mangaka always does this!! It's the same in Strobe Edge and Bokura ga ita!! At least I got to those mangas when they were complete! GRaaawwwwrrrr.

Kou is a **** **** **** mother ***** father ****!@#$!!!!
