Kurumi isn't a romantic interests she wants shidou for the spirit power (sry boys its true)
Origami hates the spirits because of her familys death but now she'll be fine and she'll just be a hot stalker.
Tohka would've been a problem a while ago but now she's fine however lets face it she's the one most likely to be the choice if there is one
Miku is a wildcard because while she has interest she'll respect shidou's desires (plus if its tohka I think she might want to join )

we shall see
Don't they need to love him for him to seal them? I don't remember it saying they simply have to trust him, but actually needed to like him for it to work.

But from what I understand if they didn't love him he wouldn't be able to seal them. Shido is only able to seal the spirits once they gain feelings for him. Arguably the only spirit that doesn't have romantic feelings for Shido is Kurumi.

as has been said, they need to love him, or at the very least have feelings for him, for him to seal them.
And the rapidly growing stack of strong hints disagrees with you about Kurumi not being romantically interested in Shidou. Of course she still wants the spirit powers he has, but it's definitely becoming more than that.

Don't confuse love for strictly romantic feelings. Although it is strongly hinted that all the sealed spirits are interested in him romantically but for the most part I do believe that while they would be disappointed if they didn't "win" Shidou they would not be destabilized by it so long as he remained part of their life. Touka though is a bit more needy then most of them

More like she's actually in love with him, while the other spirits are closer to just having romantic feelings for him.

What makes you think I am confusing the two? It's just that from what I understand they need to have romantic feelings for him in order to be sealed. But I do also think the author does a poor job in showing it. One could easily say that Yoshino, and the twins are not romantically interested in him at all. From their arcs I didn't really feel any hint of romantic interest towards Shido.

From Volume 2

Quote:
"…Speaking of which, why must I seduce the Spirits in the first place? You can just seal the Spirits' powers by kissing, right? In that case, there's no need to abruptly strike——"

"Oh my, is forcing yourself on others what you prefer, Shidou? Good luck in not having your name appear in the morning newspapers."

"I won't be in them!"

As Shidou shouted, Kotori shrugged her shoulders in a relieved manner.

"——It’s useless. If the Spirits don't open their hearts to Shidou, they won't let you seal their powers completely."

"Is-Is that so…?"

"Yes, and I don't particularly mean that they have to be deeply in love. At the very least, it will be hard if they don't trust you enough for them to not refuse the kiss. That's why Reine monitors the Spirits individually on their mood and positive feelings."

I don't even think Tachibana was trying to show romantic feelings from them. After all, how much focus do they get after their arcs? Remember that Tachibana himself said that originally he intended DAL to essentially be just a series of "short" stories, and that would fit with how Yoshino and the Yamai twins haven't gotten much focus outside of their arcs.

It seems pretty obvious from volume 8 onwards that Miku is, like Tohka, totally in love with Shidou except that she's also open to a harem bisexual free-for-all.

This is more what I meant by my little statement then anything else.

That's what I have been saying from the beginning. Sadly it won't be Kurumi who Shidou chooses, if he chooses someone. But hopefully Compile Heart makes a VN with final endings for the girls to solve this problem.

Actually, Miku is genuinely in love with Shido in a way that she calls him 'darling'. So I think it would be better to put her next to Tohka.

I think most of us agree with this. I'm more leaning towards him choosing no one though.

As for Kurumi even if she does have feelings for Shido her goals take more priority. The anti-heroine/anti-villian type characters usually don't end up with the ones they like and always put their goals before everything else.

The thing with this harem series is I can't see the girls liking anyone other then Shido since he's pretty much the only one who can deal with them. So, if he does choose one the rest will be alone for ever.
