And about why this novel will possibly not end with Kirino - I have a theory
I personally think the reason why the covers always has Kyousuke and Kirino on it is because - The main point of this novel was never "Eroge", "Otaku" or "Kyousuke's romantic life", but is "Kyousuke's relationship with his sister" Because of this, regardless of the ending, the cover of volume 12 will still only have them both on it. Fushimi said in Volume 11's afterword that he'll be happy if readers are able to "relate and resonate" with the story. If he is sticking to this theme, "Letting go of your brother/sister" is a very important life lesson/experience for those who are (overly) attached to their brother/sister. For how would this novel end - Fushimi said in Volume 9's afterword that he would like to have Kirino wear a wedding dress again. My personal theory is that Volume 12 will end with Kirino's wedding 10 years later, where (assuming she's not marrying Kyousuke) Kyousuke, who possibly has already married, will hand over his sister to another guy, with mixed feelings.

However, this novel is a first person one, and Kyousuke is pretty straight with how he feels. From what I can see, he does not consciously have romantic feelings towards Manami. Therefore it would probably be between Kuroneko and Ayase. Personal preference would be Ayase. |

If so why do you think Kyousuke would reject Sakurai if she had confessed 3 years ago?
Out of all the characters that show real interest in Kyousuke, Manami is pretty much the one who has "yet to make her move". Ofc, there is still the chance in which she will not do much in Vol12 similar to how she remained passive during the brief Kuroneko relationship. She has that dark horse factor in the race. Other than Kirino, I feel she is the other person with the veto power on Kyousuke's relationship. Manami and Kirino represent both ends of extremes. A Kirino route represent something bold, something unconventional and debatable, while Manami represent something more conservative and steady... "the norm". Ayase's confession imo came a bit too early. She must first deal with what broke Kyousuke and Kuroneko apart via action. Even though Kyousuke is much attached to Ayase, if he just accepts her confession at the start of v12 it will make Kyousuke much of a douche. In the end there is still a chance in which the angel is sacrificed to set a contrast with the victor of the race. (Ie: "I am willing to give up a relationship with my idol to be with you"). Kyousuke's "wish" from Kirino is a key factor. I think there is a good chance he uses it to mend relationships if a non-Kirino route occurs. Speaking of covers: I find there to be somewhat of an interesting progression. Early volumes we start out with unhappy siblings. Then they got closer, standing back to back. Then there is the one where they go out on a date. Then comes the wedding dress. Then we get the Kirino cooking (taking on role of a housewife) Then we got kids (well, young Kyou and Kirino, but still... kids) At this rate I wouldn't be surprised to see two tombstones as the Vol12 cover (Ayase dead end gogo?) |

2. Pretend wedding suits his style more since it feels more trollish, maybe Kirino will have one. I'd like it. Kuroneko is my bet for winning; will feel like an Ichigo 100% if it happens.

He still fantasized about her during the second time he went to her house (after he accepted Kuroneko's confession). After breaking up with Kuroneko, during his stay alone he visits Ayase's fanblog practically everyday. In his thought, he called Manami "the best childhood friend ever" for inviting Ayase to his party. Although this does not indicate that his love is strong enough to accept her confession, I doubt it's as simple as wanting to flirt. |

Still, I acknowledge that Kyousuke's feeling for Ayase is a hard to understand. He flirted so much, but in volume 5-6-7, he agreed that there were so many differents between them that he had no hope himself. After he broke up, I think that he simply unconsinous trying to balance himself (like, put his pervert thought into something) PS : Maybe he was attached to Ayase because she is the first 'possible love interested' girl that do not tsuntsun toward him? |

Volume 7 Chapter 2
"What a waste! If only I didn't went to the summer comike last year Ayase could have been my girlfriend already!" Volume 8 Chapter 3 I, who was fantasizing about a tabooed romance, was dragged back to reality. I never said he disliked Kuroneko, just that he likes Ayase too. Again, Kyousuke is simple minded in emotional matters. All this should indicate a certain level of feeling towards Ayase. He doesn't look like the type to just flirt with any girl. |

I said, and i quoted : Maybe he was simply attached to Ayase because she is the first 'possible love interested' girl that do not tsuntsun toward him. Not to mention at that time, she looked exactly like his idea girlfriend (long and black hair)
