redundant question: did the mangaka ever say around what CHAPTER she decided to move the "main girl" from aya to nishino?

side point= chapter 39, manaka god dammit

I don't think she ever say something like that since if she does, it will make the manga less interesting. IMO

I agree, even when Nishino was reintroduced back in the series, I didn't know it was a big plot twist later on

she said something about it in the ending notes, but she didn't specify when.

Spoiler for comparison to Suzuka:

finished reading Suzuka...not really a bad read. but i'm already spoiled here. Ichigo 100% is a lot better, though Manaka can learn a thing or two from Yamato

lol, I think the question is did Aya recieve any development. If nothing more it was a flimsy fan's wish where the mangaka gave the win to Nishino by prolonging her series. Now, welcome to Nishino 100%.

Spoiler:

yamato had his sights set on one girl for the entire series -

i think much of ichigo's charm was because manaka was so torn between the two main heroines.

i aint gonna lie, the 1st time through, i marathoned it and felt heavily in favor of aya right after i was done. i felt like she was left in the dust and that the nishino/manaka pairing was not right

after reading some posts about it, thinking about it more rationally, it all began to make sense

so, at the end of it all, i can say that it was masterful storytelling by the mangaka. you didn't really know how things would go until the end - and you can believe it could've gone either way; aya or nishino.

if yamato chose honoka (is that her name..lol) at the end, now that would've been silly

It depends upon is to deduct through manga facts to find who he is going to end up with and that's why i think that the last chapter was incomplete. Mizuki should have shown a 7 year drift and then marriage of Manaka and Aya. Yes, I think that the person he chooses to end up with is Aya irrespective of the fact that the last page has Manaka sweeping Nishino from her feet for the following reasons

Even after the confession of Manaka for Nishino, he was giving more importance to Toujo as evident from the way he said in chapter 163 that if they had shared their feelings with each other before the confession then he would have chosen Toujo instead of Nishino. Then even when he knew that reading Toujo's novel will lead to problems in b/w him and Nishi but still he read that. all these things shows that Toujo was more important for him and he wanted to continue with Nishino after realizing that becasue he didn't want to break her heart and by the fear of getting confused again.

Nishino had actually entertained him all the time; she was never able to support him or give him a boost or to raise him up. The love of Manaka towards Nishino resembles to a typical school boy crush over a beautiful charming and sexy girl. Even after having Nishi as his girlfriend he wanted to go to and meet Toujo to discuss his problems and hence felt relieved

Even he realizes that in chapter 164 when he said that he and Nishino never went to any sensitive topic...is that kindness....then.....singing on purpose, being happy on purpose. Whereas he realized that instead of purposefully acting, Toujo understood him and hence supported him all the time as he noticed that in chapter 163.

He wasn’t able to understand the Math book story especially the ending in which hero ended up with his childhood friend and that ending had no relationship with why he rejected Aya. Moreover, that childhood friend in the story resembles to the old Toujo from long ago. That story concludes the ending; just like the hero of that story ended up with his friend just like that he is going to end with Toujo. It indicates that Toujo will act as a friend but while dating Nishino he will eventually found that this relationship has no meaning and so he will return to Aya. And Manaka knew that and that’s why he told Aya to wait until it seems like he can complete that movie because if he can complete that movie then that means he has understood why he should end up with Toujo not with Nishino and he said that since his friend and Aya are here so now he can complete that movie

So why he started dating with Nishino again it is just because of the conversation in b/w them 4 years ago when she was going to France and since he loved her at one time so he just wants to ensure her and himself that this relationship has no hope.

and that's why even if it is not shown that Manka is ending up with either of them but according to the manga facts it is evident that he will chose Aya in the end and so i think that the last chapter was incomplete. Mizuki should have shown the wedding of Aya and Manaka getting married. It would have created a "happy ending".

I encounter the same exact post in mangafox by another poster, who copy/pasted this.

He had just finish reading "Ichigo 100%" recently and is raving about Aya not being the end girl :lol:

Its very understandable, the story is emotional roller coaster, if you rooted for a certain girl, but not excepting reality like the post above and twisting it w/ lies is sad...

[User68604]

when i finished ichigo 100 the 1st time, i was upset that aya wasnt the pairing, but at least i accepted who manaka chose..

that guy..is delusional lol. rationalizing an ending that satisfies his desire - but like many people, im sure he will come around to understanding why nishino was the best

[Lexxus]

The ending was VERY CLEAR to whom Manaka end up with. LOL at the poster.

[vansonbee]

If you notice, this has almost all the Jump characters, can you find any of the "Ichigo 100%" characters or if there any?

[Lexxus]

Nishino is the only one I can see. She's above Ryoma Echizen of Prince of Tennis.

Ah thats his name...

Do you think this is official art or fan made? Because whoever did this, got almost everyone in Jump! Nishino representing Ichigo made me happy

i'd have to agree. great rationalization. but the ending we were presented is Manaka sweeping Nishino off her feet after 4 yours, after the reunion with the FC gang.

i guess he's really an Aya diehard.

about my first marathon read.. i mentioned this... Manaka chose the girl i've rooted for at that start, and that's Nishino (Nishi sounds so...wrong)

[LeaD36]

Shino-chan sounds alright
