Okay, so now with chapter 50 out. Any ideas on Haruto's next move? because on page 6 of ch50 on the second panel, it seemed as if Eba wanted Haruto to say something. Now what I think might happened is that somewhere along the time of Eba getting ready to leave Haruto is conflicted as to whether follow his feelings and try to keep Eba by his side or let things flow on, and with the other characters in the story learning of Eba moving back to Tokyo one of them, most likely Nanami, will convince Haruto to try and persuade Eba to stay. And that is it for my thoughts.

you have some good points there. i honestly have no idea where this is going and am kinda close to dropping it for a while

I actually think that he won't do much for the coming chapters and keep denying his feelings, then Eba will leave.
After, he'll get depressed and realizes his true feelings or something but doesn't know what to do, and then Nanami will convince him to chase after Eba to Tokyo.
Obviously I have absolutely no solid grounds for this prediction.
But I do agree with Kaishe that Nanami will deffinitely play an important part in Haruto's decision.

I'm not really confident in this, but here goes...

I think that at the last minute Haruto will confess his feelings, but Eba still goes to tokyo. He eventually grows depressed or something, he tries to makes up with Kanzaki they try going out but he is constantly thinking of Eba so they break up. Eba returns and Haruto confesses his feelings. The rest of the manga is like problems they encounter and such...

It would be funny if Eba got pregnant by Haruto in the end, I would seriously rofl.

________________

Azari02, thats a pretty interesting prediction, it seems logical enough hopefully it'll be a surprise.

I kinda hope that he will have a break down followed by a huge rage where he will smack the two main girls his sister and his best friend shortly before graduationl. Then he goes to Tokyo starts studying at a college and graduates with summa cum laude. Then of course he finds a well paid job and one day when he and his work colleagues go to a fancy brothel he sees Eba again.

Quite possibly the most well-thought and realistic theory yet. I'm actually rooting for the glasses girl now , even though her crush came out of left field. Every female in this series is a shrill, annoying harpy. Eba's still okay, and I think she has a valid reason for avoiding Haruto, but this little game is getting old.

He'll go out with Kikukawa next.

He wont go out with Eba until somewhere near the end of the manga

Eba is really starting to piss me off. Haruto needs to make his feelings clear, to both Eba and Kikukawa... Before it gets too complicated.

Haruto is doesn't really deserve what he's getting from Eba right now. It's not he did anything to her. It may have taken him some time to come to terms with his feelings, but it's not like he did anything. Now all he has to do is tell her.

I have a feeling that the big confession will happen at this festival coming up. Most likely Haruto will confess to Eba and she will turn him down flat... They will go their separate ways and Haruto will be alone for awhile. Then he'll get to a point where he can't handle it anymore and he'll hope on a train to Tokyo to see Eba.

After that it's any one's guess. Eba will have either found someone new and just wants to be friends with him, or she'll continue to hide her feelings for him until he leaves when she'll finally reach a breaking point and tell him that she still loves him. Or the third option is that she'll continue to hide her feelings even after he leaves.

Then again, the Mangaka can go in a completely different direction and she actually stop being cold him and they confess together. They become a couple, but she still has to go to Tokyo... Or not.

Really the story is up in the air for what can happen, but I'm going with the confession-rejection and then subsequent Tokyo visit... With Eba confessing before he leaves, or as the doors close on the train and he's left going back home with her words in his head.

That's my educated guess based on many, many manga read.

^ That's interesting. But I think Eba has valid reasons for avoiding Haruto.

A) She thinks he's just confused since he was rejected by Kanzaki

or

B) She knows he has feelings for her, but she doesn't want anything to get started knowing that she has to eventually leave.

Kikukawa FTW. Funny how out of everyone, she's the only one w/ the guts to make a wholehearted move (albeit a misinformed one).

Up to chapter 54...

wtf someone please explain this. eba was like about to jump haruto in the beginning of this manga. now hes dtf(down to fuck) and shes cold as ice fuck. ive lost all respect for this manga sorry. the magaka better pull a u turn. maybe this is difference in culture for americans and japanese people cuz any decent guy would be makingsome progress by now. dumbassholes.

I actually think it's pretty interesting now. And since this series is pretty popular, I think Seo's gonna try and make this a long-running series. If Haruto and Eba hooked up right away that would be the end b/c I don't see where it could go from there.

For now Eba ignoring Haruto is basically just a plot device. I'm sure she'll clear it up eventually w/ some lame excuse just like the one Kanzaki first used (although later on she made a valid point).

Im starting to dislike Eba she's doing dumb shit now, in the beginning she was so close to Haruto that it could of led to so many misunderstandings towards people and now when Haruto has his feelings in order for her and tried to make a move she's avoiding him now. I'm guessing that Eba is just trying to sort out her feelings for him but she is doing it in a dumb way.

Well its gonna interesting the way the plot moves after the festival I think that Haruto is gonna end up going out with Kikukawa to not hurt her feelings then there is gonna be a misunderstanding between Eba and Haruto probably, then later on when Eba goes back to tokyo and Haruto gonna end up chasing after her. But well this is only my guess on what gonna happen

If Haruto goes out with the glasses girl...then that's just like another Suzuka. I seriously will drop this manga when it comes to this. He realized that he loves Yuzuki. So he should try harder to get her.
