Anyway, we've discussed Kyon's awareness of Haruhi's feelings toward him a few weeks ago. This is the link to my post on the topic, but to summarize:
|
Well It's pretty much a given at this point that Kyon knows Haruhi has feelings for him. His denial and subsequent contradictory actions tend to hint at his true feelings rather than those expressed.

I must say that I think that this thread has recently taken a bit too much of a Kyon x Haruhi shipping bent. The way I see it, we've got to take Kyon's failure to pursue Haruhi at face value (more so considering the spoiler above) and just say that she just annoys him too much.

It has nothing to do with Shipping really. The Majority of the Haruhi fanbase agree that this is the most likely Canon ending so therefore we are discussing it. The problem with your arguement is..Well that Kyon doesn't need to pursue Haruhi at face value he already has her in his hands. He just needs to take the chance. Oh and by Book 9 he pretty much admits he loves what Haruhi does and isn't really annoyed by her. Hell he loves the weird things she does.
Even he starts to come around to the idea in Book 9, beforehand he would never even admit it. It's character development really.

I'd say that so far in the story, Kyon would prefer a relationship with Asahina more than with any of the other girls—and the relationship would fail, on many grounds.
|
Openly Kyon would say himself he would prefer a relationship with Mikuru, However we already know that it really isn't the case. He finds Haruhi much more interesting than he does Mikuru. Mikuru is basically his "white knight" crush and nothing more.
Haruhi and Kyon is basically pushed at every possibility while everything else is totally ignored in terms of development or even internal referencing.
Quote:
More generally, I think that Kyon and the three girls would have to develop and mature more for any of the pairings to work. We're not going to see any couples in this series until we see some more important character development happen.

Yea i totally agree, The only one at this point which COULD happen in Book 10 would be Haruhi and Kyon although that would have to be written very well for it to work. The rest...Oh man they would be so pathetic and forced it's unreal.

Case in point:
Two other things: a) KyonxMikuru has pretty much been impossible from the beginning, and if you don't believe that Kyon, at the very least, cares about Haruhi a hell of a lot, you need to read Vol. 4 again.

Totally agreed with the entire post.
Especially the last point.
Disapperance and the subsequent novels is really where the serious development starts (Since TMoHS Ep 6 at the very least). That and Kyon is a CLASSIC unreliable narrator. Attempting to piece his true feelings and intentions without taking in the Hints and subtle additions is just inconcieveable. |
