Misaka telling Kuroko after that risks Kuroko getting involved. Either by pushing Touma and 10032 closer together so she can have Misaka to herself or trying to get echi with the Imoutos. Kuroko is probably not the best of Misaka's friends to help try and socialise the Imoutos. [Though for all we know Kuroko's been giving 19090 diet tips ] I'd expect Misaka to talk to Saten or Uiharu or possibly even Index over Kuroko about the sisters. And talking to Kuroko about Touma has almost as many issues. I can see Misaka talking to 10032 about her problems with Touma rather than Kuroko. |

And judging from the novel readers thread, the relation between Mikoto and Touma is one-sided to the point that I started to think, "Another girls and Index self have more opportunities with the boy " |

Hmmm, Touma is the typical completely dense about romance shounen hero type so I already lost hope for serious romance in Index. Mikoto's role in the novel hass been greatly decreased since vol 12. And even in vol 12, she's not involved in anything important on the storyline >.<. Too bad. I hope Touma will face problem from Science side a lot more soon ^^.

This isn't the Touma thread, so it's not really the right place to discuss it, but yes, he is impossibly dense.
The comment Misuzu made in the SS before leaving on the ambulance was the sort of thing that's really easy to pick up on, but it went so far over Touma's head that it's amazing that he even noticed it happened. |

Spoiler for hmm...:
Why is this thread getting no love orz...? Mikoto was actually the first character I liked which got me hooked into TAMNI and then, learning about the side story manga, I am more obsessed with Railgun... xP Is it me or is there like a certain uniqueness to Mikoto in a specific media... like her anime version, manga version, light novel version... of course the styles are obvious, but the personality within those styles... I might be just confusing you all, so nvm then... |

I like the Biri Biri X Touma relationship, I feel that Mikoto adds something to Touma and Touma in turn gounds (pun not intended) Mikoto so she doesn't act too mighty.
Rather than the Index relationship where there's only Touma saving Index Still, one has to respect Mikoto for what she's done, coming from level 1 all the way to level 5. Although I suspect her methods involve beating up street thugs and the 'sisters' corporation helping her along. |

I feel Mikoto is by far the most interesting character in the show, because even when you strip away the powers she has the most 'real' personality, a mix of virtues and flaws: she has a sense of justice (which she can fulfill with her powers), but she's also vain and easily riled up. She has a sense of self-importance, but has very normal, typical, hobbies (like reading manga for free). And she has an admirable sense of responsiblity, but isnt mature enough to have proportion to know what is and is her fault. I felt that the Misaka arc, by far, was most interesting, especially her guilt over the Sisters. It was misplaced, over-fixated... but it was perfectly disproportionate for someone who's still a young girl in many ways. She thinks she's older/better, but she's really still a middle schooler, and that sort of attitude is just precious.
Misaka is interesting because she isn't a pushover, but isn't invincible. She can be mature, but also very much the opposite. She is very much a person who, with a little luck and good support, would grow into an admirable woman. Which is by far my favorite type of character. Plus the fact she wears shorts is so much better than panty-shot fanservice. |

I found her an insteresting character not because she is "realistic" but she has many points to her that Dean the young already pointed before me n_n;. For that reason is that I can't support her character into a shipping with Touma, they are incompatibles, maybe the reactions that Mikoto shows when she is near to Touma are sometimes funny but they're not enough to convince.

I remain somewhat hopeful that the author would actually write the two of them together. It's ridiculously annoying to see a series keep a harem going for no other reason than fanservice. I'm actually somewhat fine with triangles, but I think harems are dumb. |

Out of curiosity, how are Misaka and Touma 'incompatible'? He might be a bit patronizing at times, but that's almost always because of the age/maturity gap. As Misaka grows up, that will disappear.

Flirting Railgun is good doujin, but after read chapter 2 I wonder if Touma ever can kiss Mikoto since when she fought that bitch with multiple ability, Mikoto explaining she emitting electric wave around her body, so anything in her "electric radar" will detected. If Touma kiss her, that guy will be electrocuted for sure since Rail Gun emotion also affect her power

On another note, I wonder if biri biri can tap into "Radio Noise" There's not proof that she can, on the other hand, the clones are made from her so it would be funny of they can do something she can't. And btw, she's smart, lots smarter than Touma, since she can solve problems from 2 grades higher than her level. Seems like the high level ability users all have pretty good brains installed, maybe that's a requirement for having high lv ability, brains to make calculations for their power. |

I'm confused now...OK..I'll sit down first...it's easy...*sigh* and yes, Father told me most Human didn't use even 10% of their brain capacity, with exception of Left Handed human (they use more % but not so significant amount). So in this manga verse, all human in this Modern City been adjusted by variety of technique to force their brain to work more or at maximum so they become ability user. |
