Hinata fails at trying to hide his feelings. With my feelings as they are right now towards him, I hate that he is eventually going to end up with Yukina.
i thought it was SOOOO cute how she was logically analyzing what Hinata said about her being cute, and even discussing it with her parents
.
As far as the end, now THAT'S more what I was expecting. I had a feeling Akira would come through at least once if Hinata screwed up. Even though I don't think Yukina will change her mind about how she feels about Akira, if she can at least come to understand a little about receiving affection without having to ask someone to give it, then she will evolve herself a bit further as a char[though she has already changed a bit from how she was at the very beginning of the story].
