That's an interesting take on it.
I think we need the next half dozen chapters or so focused solely on what happened with Eba between then and now.
All we are seeing is Eba from Haruto's point of view, i.e. an evil manipulative bitch. If we could actually know what's been going on in her world, see what's been going on through her eyes, I might be able to hate her a lot less.

I agree as much as my gut reflex is to hate Eba. I think something legit, even if fueled by a misunderstanding, happened. Still sucks for Haruto. In the end its gonna be from something he did. Still sucks. I wonder how his new bff will react.

Just when I was going to start liking this manga again...

That was way too huge man. He is gonna cry all over the place again. I feel sorry for the guy for being so dumb. I bet somewhere along the line, he is gonna snap. I'd love to see that Whatever, i m gonna put this manga on hold for a while to pile some chapters. One at a time bad for my heart.

Maybe Eba was somehow forsed to become Kamama's girlfriend because of his illness.

I wonder how Haruto will act now. It is sure that he is thinkng seriously to give up but I believve that in the next chapters we will see a different Haruto and don't be surpriced if he decides to become a racer. (It depends to the reason tha Eba went with Kazama)

Man, Im at a loss. Im seriously gonna stop caring and just let it happen damn Seo Kouji just knows how to push those buttons!

and the greek god, THOR brings down his hammer on our head at full force.

altho everyone was guessing something like this, still was too much of a shock. I m just gonna drop the manga for now i guess xD

Edit:
I dont think he shud become bike rider. How about he becoming a model? xD in suzuak manga, yamato's club manager who became model later(forgot her name), she will help him xD then something like this will happen may be, he becomes popular model in no time. Kazama somehow learns the truth about eba n haruto, also about his deadly illness. So he decides to patch their relationship up. but suddenly news about harutos involvement with another model comes up(which is lie but nobody still knows) xD that breaks Eba down. She decides to tell kazama truth, but kazama says he already knows the truth and says to go to haruto. nanami also transfers to tokyo. but the shock from eba had a emotional scar inside haruto and he becomes icecold to everything. then nanami n Eba decides to fight over to win over haruto. and then haruto marries... ummm... the manager from suzuka, who helped him become model. (-_-) or a psycotic fan shoots haruto to death may be serves both nanami n Eba right they deserve to be pained. (-_-)

weeeell, couldn't be arsed to read every chapter i missed, but i did read the last pages of 89. i don't think kazama and eba are that close. she does call him by his first name but adds the -kun suffix when entering the room. kazama also said something like "she didn't want to at first but i tried hard bla bla"

it's likely that eba seeing kirishima with some other girl coincided with kazama's advances and she reluctantly gave in. she does look like she's feeling guilty towards kirishima when they greet each other

and as ntr and whatnot it gets, it's still hella cliché and i highly doubt, that there'll be any other pairing than kirishimaxeba in the end

the thing i'm most interested in is, how much the suzuka cast will intervene with the story in the days to come. especially yamato and suzuka

ps: is it me or did the art got worse since ch 50 or so?

ouch.. that really hurts a lot if i'm in Haruto's position... that's a lot of pain
i bet Haruto will cry a lot... and will Kamama knows that Eba was the girl Haruto's chasing after?
and isn't Haruto's sis knows Kamama right? so does it mean that she also knows about Eba and Kamama?

I am d.e.v.a.s.t.a.t.e.d. with the recent development!

T_T

Particularly because I can relate to the way haruto was in complete DENIAL about the possibility of Eba having a boyfriend. She was completely lovey-dovey with him and she did spend 24/7 with him in their home. Anyone will go in denial mode when that scenario happens, and I mean anyone.

That said, he'd probably be put in a position to tell something about Kazama that "only guys should know" and end up having a fit about doing the right thing (telling Eba) or keeping it a secret to avoid being called a relationship wrecker.

I don't know what to say about this mangaka anymore, except that he really knows what will make people jump the gun and wait a few chapters before reading this manga again.

If I was Haruto, I'd be pulling out a knife and killing every girl around me. They can't be trusted. They're all damn crazy. Eba acts nothing like a real person, and Kanzaki apparently makes split decisions that do a 180 on her previous views at random (maybe that's how girls are; either way, she needs to die). This manga just managed to piss me off.

I think he should go for the restaurant girl, period. Same hobbies, she's hotter than every other girl in the manga, and she lives in the same town. It's a WINRAR. A MEGA WINRAR!

We already predicted this last chapter... I'm not exactly happy that it actually happened though. I need to know what happens next!

forget eba nd nanami haruto shuld go out w/asuka

but hey, isn't it Kamama is dying soon because of his illness? but there will be some bad aftertaste if Eba and Haruto goes back to the way they were before.. and about Eba, did she forgot their childhood promise with Haruto? and did Haruto completely forgot Nanami? If i was in Haruto's position, which almost happen to me in real life, i would really stay silent and would find a way to excuse my self and will try to let her see that i'm just a nobody that she can discard easily. of course, i would cry just like the way Yamato-kun cried when he was denied by Suzuka on his first confession in the amusement park... i can still feel the feeling on that..
can't wait for the next release...

I believe there is probably some underlying reason why Eba dumped Haruto. After all those chapters of Eba trying to get Haruto and that childhood love thing I bet there is probably something going on. Ebas family seems pretty fishy to me. At first I thought that letter was written by her sister.

Hopefully Haruto won't sulk and stalk Eba anymore after being denied in several different ways during the latest chapters. Harutos got a load of girls after him but he keeps going after the one thats meanest to him. He should pick somebody else who deserves him more.
