During the Chibademy Quiz, I had a feeling Watari would reference ~7O3X~

I applaud Hachiman's honest attempt throughout this little 'quiz bowl'.

Actually, in volume one, concerning Hachiman's looks, Yukino said among other insults:

Quote:
“To start with, eyes such as yours, which emulate those of a rotten fish, will invariably leave a bad impression. I’m criticizing your unattractive facial expression, not your facial features. It is proof of your considerably twisted nature.”
Furthermore, that goes along with the Ponkan8's illustrations when Hikki's facial expression changes.

Spoiler for hikki:

Spoiler for hikki:
That's merely fallacy through omission (the same thing Hikki is doing); Yukinon is merely making a point to being objective and unbiased.

For example, there it have been a few times where either Yui or Yukinon try to list Hikki's good points, and having a decent looking face is never brought up (and they are reaaaaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy stretching it with what they praise about him , to the point of praising Komachi instead of him).

........ Checking it up, in fact when he mentioned that "having a good face" was a +1, Yui side snarked that it's merely his own statement. ("simply a siscon -2" )

I see your point, but that works in both ways. Omitting positive and negative things.
Neither of them are really honest about their feelings and thoughts. They'll just imply things or usually tell something in a roundabout way. That is related to the nature of most of their talks. It is varying from lightly to highly confrontational (but mostly friendly) banter where all sides pick at flaws of others but stay silent about the good parts (albeit Yui towards Yukino is the most affectionate). Also some bad things are omitted too (like how Hachiman noticed Yukino's being flat chested in vol. 1). Still with all of that, they are getting closer and closer - the good sides outweigh the bad ones but, most of the time, they weren't really vocalized because of the superficial nature of what their speeches are. Somehow, it resembles a game that they all enjoy doing- like when Yukino and Hachiman ganged on Shizuka and later on Yukino and Sensei on Hikki. An observation about Yukino reflects that: - "Perhaps she was really that happy with what she had said, but her eyes were sparkling; she really looked like she was enjoying herself."(vol. 1)

Yui and Yukino have the same discrepancy between what they really think and feel and what's being said. Yui also doesn't hold back on insults even though she likes Hachiman, or how Yukino didn't acknowledged him as a friend but an acquaintance (was it volume 6?). Not to mention that Yukino herself said the same kind of ego trip thing as Hachiman about him having fallen in love with her.

An example of a roundabout way of saying things was in preparation of the test of courage when Yui asked Hikki does the outfit looked good on her and he said something like: "I've would told you straight up if it didn't look good on you and seriously made fun of you, but it's too bad that I can't."

To cut the long story short, they like to tease each other when talking and we don't know how the girls really see his face.

I pictured him as a little above average but his eyes ruin his face , obviously he is not handsome like Hayama , even without the eyes , but he isn't bad either.

I remember another moment (maybe the last for now) where he mentionned his looks during his monologue about how he pedestaled Yukino which was a pretty serious moment and he listed the things he liked about himself including his looks which he qualified as "not ugly" in my subs.

Overall I think his looks won't make him stand out in a good or bad way , but his expression , solitude and attitude aren't making him appealing to most people , at least at first sight.

Yea i believe that Hikki's look are above average but most people wont really notice because of his eyes. Komachi implied that his looks are good too and i would consider her opinion to be pretty reliable, since they are close siblings she doesnt have to act nice infront of him or sugarcoat her words.

Those illustrations looks gorgeous...hate to admit it but Sagami looks pretty cute

Also I guess I was too quick to judge before, Hikki's still got his rotten eyes.

As always Ponkan8 illustrations are awesome.

On a side note: Dat Hikki's weird expression when talking to Saki.

Not that she was wrong by much if we go by Hikki's thoughts about her, wich range between acknowledge her beauty, to downright poetry (cheap, but still).

You know what made me wonder even more than this?

It's that "why isn't there one already."

There's already some Sagami/Hachiman writings in Pixiv, so I was waiting for someone else to do the dirty deed with fanart.

Took them long enough.

Wow, now that I imagine it, if there was a side story this would be a really interesting pair to develop, love/hate relationship...

foe yay all the way.

.... isn't that exactly how Hachiman and Yukino interaction started in first place?

That said, this is only "Harem" where ANY spin-off would work perfectly (with exception of Yuis and Saikas)

That's true but there would be a difference:

A SagamixHachiman route would start with much emphasis on the hate rather than the love.
