One thing regardless : I don't think we can't gauge my waifu's breasts since there is no official Gainax bounce or hand-test to prove it.

Unless of course, there is a frame-over-frame comparison with Nora's breasts......hers is the biggest to gauge and has been shown widely throughout the entire series.

[Ryuutai]

The only backstabber I saw in this chapter was Ayumi, confirmed to be "the best friend ever".
She just dated Keima, and she still denies to Chihiro to be in some sort of love relationship with him. Disgusting.

[Solafighter]

I wouldn't call this 'dating'. I also don't think, that Ayumi wants to put Keima into the friend zone. This kind of denying is more like "to embarrassed to tell, what happened between us." Don't forget, that Ayumi's memories aren't reseted. She can remember everything.

[leon4281isback]

I don't know what to make of this. Yeah, some things that Keima did was stupid, at the same time, he's in a situation that he needs to make damn sure to get out of as soon as he's able, but he doesn't have much time left. This whole thing is confusing, and could have been avoided. And trying to get a "certain goddess" is as hard as f**k to Keima, possibly made even worse because of Chihiro's intervention.

All I know is that this things about to hit the fan, and Keima needs to do something before he finds himself already at death's door...he's already that close to it, and the door is coming to him....

[BladeEntity]

All I can say is Ayumi is in a very lousy position caught between her best friend and this guy she likes. Make matters worst Keima probably doesn't really like her. She has been trying very hard to resist Keima as it is but well, with him its impossible.

YEA GO Chihiro! F--- up everything! <3 That's what friends are for.


I'm not sure if Im cheering on or being sarcastic ) : ) <- a smile/frown depending on which way you turn yourhead

On Chihiro: As I said, something feels off about the situation. I'm going to wait a chapter or two before I call her a backstabber or whatever.

Freaking hell, you can accurately call girl size just with your eyes?

And a 2D on top of it? Too imba Sumeragi

That one was a date, she was also ok with being kissed by him. She is continuing to lie. I would hate if my best friend did this to me.
Exactly because she remembers that she was in a relationship with Keima (and this relationship is starting again, since they made up, that evening), continuing to hid this fact to her best friend is very cruel.
I wonder how some readers can't see how awful Ayumi's actions are. They are just fanboys, it's the only explanation. Well, I'm a girl, and I'm indifferent to her cuteness and chest, luckily.

[Solafighter]

Ayumi kissed Keima(she made the steps). So she was obvious ok to kiss him.

Sry, but now I want to know, what you are exactly talking about.
What was a date?

What date? All Keima did during her capture was stalk her and put up conspicuous signs to cheer for her. They never actually went out anywhere. Even the final moments of the capture ended up on school grounds, and that was more of a confrontation than a real date.

I'm talking about the date they have just had in these last chapters, after he asked her to meet her, not about her first conquest.
This one was a date, please, don't tell me it wasn't and that she went to him just for getting back her panties...That one was a pathetic excuse both for him and her.
Also, you can call it date or not, it isn't really important how you call it, but she just met him, she went to the park with him...they were together, in a romantic mood (come on, he had just told her that she is still the most precious one to him! she went to him because she wanted to give him another chance)...
Anyway, at Miyako's home, when Chihiro asked her "were you with Katsuragi?" she answered "uh, no...no..." I don't care if she is embarrassed, this means to lie, lie to your best friend, after she has just been dumped by that guy and you also saw that, and you know how harsh he had been with her.

I'm not saying that Ayumi must sacrifice her feelings for Chihiro, only being honest. All these lies are hurting Chihiro, not helping her. But Ayumi still lies to her.
Honesty is the most important thing in friendship, to me.

So you rather leave your parties with some guy and not be sure what sort of lewd acts are being done with it. No it is not a date

To be fair he is dragging her around and I'm sure because she has feelings for him she is allowing it, but she has been shown to try and resist her own feelings because of Chihiro which to me shows how much they mean to each other. However her actions are understandable not wanting to hurt Chihiro unnecessarily, its a white lie. Of course from our point of view it looks worse because Chihiro is actually watching Keima be his capturing self.

We knew from the start someone had to get hurt because a guy making countless girls genuinely fall in love with him has no happy ending at least till it finally ends, there is bound to be drama.

I think she knows that Keima was using her panties just as an excuse, Ayumi could be naive, but not so much.

She went there because she wanted it, and she isn't forced by him to follow him.
If I was Ayumi, simply I would have told him "Katsuragi, sorry, but now our meeting ends here. Before, I need to speak with Chihiro. You know, she's my best friend, and I want to be honest with her about my feelings, before to accept yours for me."

This is the kind of behaviour that I would have had, as friend.

but she has been shown to try and resist her own feelings because of Chihiro which to me shows how much they mean to each other.

Since she can't resist, she must only be honest. Chihiro hasn't only been dumped by the guy she liked, who basically played with her heart, but she also just found out that her best friend was in a relationship with him, but she was hidding it to her. She got a double body blow in few hours.

[Solafighter]

... Or short, Ayumi is in love. Doesnt want to destroy the friendship with Chihiro.

If it would be so easy, as Ryuutai said ("Katsuragi, sorry, but now our meeting ends here. Before, I need to speak with Chihiro. You know, she's my best friend, and I want to be honest with her about my feelings, before to accept yours for me."), this manga would have ended 12 chapters ago.

[moridin84]

I think that Ryuutai's criticism of Ayumi is probably a knee-jerk reaction to peoples criticism of Chihiro.

Are you telling me she didn't already do this? Are you forgetting that Ayumi saw Keima reject Chihiro, then afterwards promptly rejected him and hit him when he started moving onto her?

She has been aware of Chihiro's feelings, and she did reject Keima because of it... pretty harshly, in fact. It was Chihiro who told her to go for it and don't mind her.

No, both of them are aware they both have a thing for Keima. The only thing Ayumi has been hiding is the time she kissed him during Keima's first capture. That's what this entire freaking arc has been about. Keima isn't in a relationship with anyone. He never has.

[Frailty]

I wonder if they'd be better off having Chihiro hide at Tenri/Diana's house

Also Chihiro is in love. And she has been very hurt by Keima. But some people can't understand her circumstances and accept the fact it's normal that a person, in her condition, can act irrationally, being confused, not trust anyone anymore...

If it would be so easy, as Ryuutai said ("Katsuragi, sorry, but now our meeting ends here. Before, I need to speak with Chihiro. You know, she's my best friend, and I want to be honest with her about my feelings, before to accept yours for me."), this manga would have ended 12 chapters ago.

That one was the most natural sentence I would have told.

I always thought that Ayumi's behaviour towards Chihiro was wrong since the sick event.

No, she didn't do what I told. I didn't tell that she should reject Keima, what I'm saying is that she should talk to Chihiro, tell her that she was in Keima's room when she heard her confession, tell her that she had tried to root for her but she couldn't because she is in love with him as well, tell her that she saw Keima dumping her because she was spying on their date, tell her that she had kissed Keima time ago...Tell her everything.

She should simply apologize to Chihiro for not being honest, even if her intention was to make her happy.

You are missing an important plot point here.

I'm not bashing Ayumi because I like trolling: in fact, also Ayumi knows that her behaviour has been wrong so far, or did you miss that? I'm sure enough that even if Keima kissed her, she couldn't get the wings, because of her sense of guilt.
It's the same reason why Diana can't get her wings: her sense of guilt towards Tenri is the obstacle.

She has been aware of Chihiro's feelings, and she did reject Keima because of it... pretty harshly, in fact. It was Chihiro who told her to go for it and don't mind her.

Chihiro didn't tell her to go for it, in the scene in the bathroom at the festival.
But I'm sure she would have told that, if Ayumi, in that moment, had admitted her feelings for Keima.

You are not getting my point at all.
You think that I'm saying that Ayumi should reject Keima for Chihiro.
No, I'm saying only that, at least now, it's the moment for her to be honest. But also at Miyako's home, she lied.

Lets make this simple while I don't agree to a lot of what was sad the bottomline here for me is start is things could be that simple this manga would not be as interesting as it is. I'm sure that we were expecting some form of drama between Chihiro and Ayumi ever since we have seen them being such good friends and Keima's closeness to damn due to Elsie presence (Who I sincerely miss).

Things can't be that simple in manga's and personally I find it hard to believe that being perfectly honest is that simple even in real life. Somethings are better kept secret. TBF Ayumi has been trying her best, having Keima ask for her help in dating Chihiro while she likes him is a terrible blow to her she has had it rough. (She was not spying it was a coincidence) Chihiro up to this point has been rarely put in between who she likes and her best friend and in that situation I can see why what she does seems irrational. People are easily blinded in situations where love is involved.

In fact, the manga is interesting exactly because the situation is that complicated.
My point was that also Ayumi's behaviour hasn't been very good, because of her conflicting emotions, but in general people with her are softer than with Chihiro...it's unfair. ^^" They can see Ayumi's pain, but not Chihiro's pain, even if they know how harsh Keima has been with her.

P.S. You are wrong, Ayumi went intentionally to the rooftop to see Chihiro and Keima. Mercury told her "Why did you go to see them"?
