Haha could you guys imagine that, this joker instead of Harima

I imagined hard...REALLY HARD...Damn Kentaro...Keitaro...Yukinari...OMG the ledgendary!!! TENCHI MASAKI!!!

HARIMA KENJI - He's ALL ORIGINAL. THE BEST MALE CHARACTER maybe in all of the harem type anime.

Even though the series is defined as a "school love comedy", I actually rather dislike that aspect when it ends up being a comedy of errors; the parody/competition episodes are much more fun. I don't really enjoy watching the misunderstandings going on between Harima, Tenma, Eri and Yakumo. Tenma is too annoying for me to want to see her with anyone and while Eri has her softer moments, she has a mean streak. I don't really care who Harima ends up with either.

I do like Mikoto though and I was cheering for her and Hanai until I saw the basketball episodes. Now I'm not so sure, but as long as she ends up with someone who makes her happy, that's good. Karasuma is an interesting character too, but Tenma is just too ... bleh.

My fav is Onigiri.
The way the manga has been going, though, it seems more and more impossible.
But I believe that, maybe on a subconscious level, Yakumo does really like Harima. It's also just a theory, but maybe Yakumo can't read the minds of people she likes. I know Yakumo could read Harima's mind that one time when he confused her with Tenma, but maybe she hadn't quite liked him yet before that happened. After that fairy thing came was when she might have finally relized that she may actually like Harima. Of course she can read the mind's of people who like her, but maybe she can't read mind's the other way around if she likes someone. Just a theory though...

Onigiri is too awkward for me. I think that Harima's more of a big brother than anything, and that Yakumo sees it that way.

Shredder · 2006-06-22, 21:11

Yeah, Imouto-san

Anime Online · 2006-06-22, 23:38

I'm glad they went with Harima as the male lead instead of Nara Keitaro. I can't imagine how someone like Nara could possibly go up against Eri-chan. Not to mention the "rivalry" between Nara and Hanai for Yakumo would just look weak.

I think Harima sees Yakumo more as a friend and confidante. Yakumo might (and that's a big might) have some interest in Harima, but I think Yakumo is able to treat Harima differently from the other guys because he doesn't stifle Yakumo with "I like you!" thoughts.

Truth-kun · 2006-06-23, 07:18

Yakumo already knows that Harima likes Tenma, which makes her "probable" feelings for Harima a bit more complicated. But since Yakumo wear such a pokerface, we couldn't know if she likes Harima "in that way". Knowing that, I left Onigiri faction knowing that the future looks grim.

Lotiman · 2006-07-01, 09:46

Harima should stop loving Tenma and go for Eri

Harima should stop loving Tenma and go for Eri. I don't think Yakumo knows he likes Tenma since she cant read his mind. Yakumo looks pretty but she is a boring characters.

In Episode 24/25 of Season 1, when Yakumo and Harima we're rushing his manga, Yakumo noticed that the manga characters looks alike like Harima and Tenma. After that, she noticed that they are getting along very well. At that time, Harima admitted (not directly though) and he said to keep it a secret.

Yeah, her character is drawn similarly to Eri's but she doesn't have the flair. Or the voice!

Fishbait · 2006-07-02, 07:12

Flaggggggg

Well, I guess sometimes I'm a Kids Meal too since I honestly wouldnt mind either one of them

Bloody Marry wouldnt be too bad either lol

ZhangKhaiEn · 2006-07-08, 04:45

Yakumo also has a solid suspicion that Eri likes Kenji.. As does Mikoto that Eri is jealous of Yakumo..

I voted Onigiri, btw =p

I think the only friend of Eri that doesn't know that she likes Harima is Tenma. Which is not a surprise

ZhangKhaiEn · 2006-07-08, 06:36

How many characters know that Harima likes Tenma, though?

1. Yakumo (probability 90%, kenji's manga is obvious)
2. Akira (probability 90%, she knows... everything.. >_>)
3. Itoko (100%. She even helped him.)
4. Kenji's animals (100%, they rioted...........)
5. Eri (?%, sooner or later, she'll know.. How would she view Tenma as a rival? And more interestingly, how would she react knowing that BOTH Tsukamoto sisters are her rivals, but at different ways?)

Any more?

Truth-kun · 2006-07-08, 07:32

EDIT: argh my first entry is just so wrong. I was thinking the opposite.

adding to the list
6) Karasuma (around 70%, from the "Confession episode)

Anyways, Eri probably has no idea that Harima likes Tenma.

Hehe...Tsukamoto sisters VS Sawachika. This makes things more complicated, Harima is just to chicken sh!t to admit his love to Tenma and too afraid to get re-jected, well at least he's not indecisive like all the other anime guys, but if he does admit it's THE END of SR.

Spoiler for reasons:

Reason #4 is my top reason why the series wouldn't end yet.
