272 was awesome. One major misunderstanding cleared.
Great couple of chapters for Flag but I think that's it. Too bad since Harima's misunderstanding of Eri was cleared up first it probably means that it's Yakumo's turn next and timing it to tell that the series is going to end would mean that it's Harima and Yakumo in the end and the end of tunnel vision....Unless Harima would remember this chapter and see that the eyes are indeed the windows to one's soul |

Theres nothing to really "fix" in terms of Yakumo, there was never any false pretense or any of the sort. Its only a matter of a confession, and thats whats left for Eri as well. Somehow I doubt Yakumo would confess, I just have a hard time visualizing it. I do see Eri's confession to be a lot more dramatic, theres too much history between the two, and a tsundere's confession is always dramatic.
If anything were to happen with Yakumo, Harima would have to be the one to take that step. But, I somehow believe that he'll always see her as "Imouto-san" |

fighto, onigiri shipper /jk
everyone was screaming an onigiri ending during the forest scene and now chapter 272 is screaming flag again. ahh, i wish KJ would stop beating the bushes and put closure on one pairing if he is planning to go to a certain one (any type would do for me exceot oudou of course, tenma and karasuma can stay in america for all eternity) of course, never has school rumble created this much development since the kyoto arc. |

The problem here is that some of you are going directly off of Townsocks' translation, which makes it look like Yakumo doesn't manage to get the words out. In the original Japanese, she yells out 'daisuki' which is, in fact, a confession. The difference is that unlike its English counterpart, it doesn't have a context attached to it. This can easily lead to a misunderstanding, which Jin takes advantage of in the next scene ("YOU LOVE MANGA!"). This is also used in anime as well. Watch the Full Metal Panic TSR OVA special to see an example of it in action, when Tessa confesses but Sousuke thinks she's become a raging alcoholic

Wow.....what a touching chapter. Eri complimenting Harima on his eyes was awesome. And how she lifted him out of his funk was one of the most romantic things I've ever seen (yes, beatings can be romantic :S). Now, there are people saying that it's Yakumo's turn next to clear up misunderstandings, or pour out her heart to him. But what Eri just did, showed that she could lift Harima out of his deep depression over losing Tenma. Even if Yakumo and Harima have a touching scene now, it won't be the same way of her lifting his heart from the dumps. I really think that Onigiri will struggle now, sad as I am to admit it.

observing the flow of the conversation it looks like eri was the one saying that to harima. with the obvious explanation that harima was hiding in sunglasses since that hentai-san incident.
if harima said that eri would have blushed massively but to another person it would really sound odd. |

It's almost taboo to say this as an Onigiri-shipper, but I'd wager that it's probably going to be much more interesting if Flag happens (be it in fanfiction, in our imaginations or the manga itself ) now that the misunderstandings are gone. |

Yup you are right! I wonder how will Eri and Harima interact from now on. Also Yakumo better step her game up to prevent Eri from snatchin Harima. I used to be just Yakumo supporter but when reading the manga I support both faction. I just hope that something special will happen that will bring the two together not just rushing things.

By the way, Townsocks is a pretty strong Onigiri shipper, so I admire the fact that he's committed to tell it as it is, rather than shoving his bias down our throats. He's explained himself before on a similar point. I think the main crisis in that chapter was more to do with Harima telling Yakumo that they probably wouldn't be working together after this. That's what got her worked up in the first place. When he told her that they would work together until they became better than Karasuma, that pretty much solved all of her troubles. Their relationship is going to be secure for a looong time to come. Quote:
I still think that their chemistry makes this series, of course. |

The Daisuki Yakumo said in the back chapters seems similar to Tessa's confession to Sagara in the Full Metal Panic Tessa OVA. Which Sagara thought that Tessa likes to drink as in Yakumo likes manga. I loled when I got the joke in FMP....but this is school rumble!
Also everyone in school rumble if you're focusing on all the characters, all of them there making a bonds of friendships and still pretty balanced up to now, except for Madoka...we dunno if she's really cheating or not...
