My ending.......

Spoiler:

In the end I can see Kyousuke "confessing" to Kirino. But purely to set their feelings straight. He already told Kuroneko that he wouldn't get into another relationship before sorting things out with Kirino.

Given the massive push that Ayase got from the author in volume 10, I strongly believe that she's going to end up with Kyousuke. From her exchange with Kuroneko, to being chosen to look after Kyousuke by Kirino, followed by Kyousuke saying she was more important than his exam and finally the confession. At this this late stage I can't believe that was just to fill the pages

I can't see a Kuroneko ending, largely because she's never seen herself as a leading lady. Her dream seems to being a nekmimmi maid to Kyousuke and his partner (who at the time she drew as Kirino). Interestingly after her blunt exchange with Ayase, where she points out that any girlfriend is going to have to deal with Kyousuke's feelings for Kirino, and even goes so far to say she doesn't care if Kyousuke sleeps with Kirino, the two of them become close. Kyousuke and Kirino separately catch Ayase stepping on Kuroneko, which she vehemently denies both times is S&M play. I can certainly see Ayase tolerating a nekomimmi maid

I do wonder if we're going to see Kyousuke giving Manami her own life consultation, telling her that she needs to stop meddling in his life and go out and find her own.

Ultimately with characters this great it's a shame it's coming to an end.
