Also, "Tatsurou's still Miyuki's dad and she apparently hates him even more after hearing this. Also V20 will be the last volume, Satou's afterword."

More about Tatsuya's fiancee of whom Miyuki is based off on: "All else I found was that she was related to the sponsor, she died, her genes were preserved and used to re-create her."

Congratulations on guessing the right mother of Tatsuya.

Good Job.

I think it should end right at the end of high school. Don't they have one more academic year to go? 4 more volumes should take care of that tidily.

It's just weird considering the first 11 volumes were their first year and the last 9 will cover their last two years.

Do you even understand the logic of your claim? The term "Guardian" is to describe his job and his responsibilities not whether he is a family member or not.

Until the author tells us otherwise, HE IS A FAMILY MEMBER - HE IS THE BROTHER OF MIYUKI YOTSUBA AND HIS NAME IS TATSUYA YOTSUBA. When and where in the story did it ever say that he was not a Yotsuba? There still is no definite proof that he is not a Yotsuba.

Am I guessing? What I have stated just now are the known facts in the story as is written by the author. It is you who is guessing that he was kicked out of the Yotsuba. If I may suggest, read the story again.

Chapter 14 of volume 8 explains all of this. The author has already explicitly told us Tatsuya is no longer a Yotsuba, he's just a guardian. This was done during Miya's conversation with Miyuki after Tatsuya saved them.

[amtro]

Anon says that Miyuki came from the sponsors. Tatsuya's original wife died and they preserved her remains, from her Miyuki was created.

[nurismail]

why only ichijou family that objects the engagement between the siblings?? i thought kudou and saegusa the only one that will object the engagement

[aortax]

Wait what 20 is the last volume de faq. Why is the author rushing to end this. Their are still so many plot points he has to finish black sage for example. It doesn't make sense in terms of $ also . Also man did the story get interesting as fuck. I hope we can get this entire volume translated ( probably not though ) .

[amtro]

WOAH my volume has shipped already. Amazon is breaking street date.

I think the title of the novel said it all.

Well, this fits with the whole Miyuki-Parvati similarity. Parvati is the reincarnation of Sati, Shiva's wife before her. I think we all know the similarities between Shiva and Tatsuya. Wow, these are some crazy spoilers. These last four volumes are going to be amazing.

[Zoks]

I just wanted to point out that I did suggest that it is Miyuki who isn't Miya's daughter back when the speculation first started.

Lucarion's going to be a very happy camper.

[amtro]

We don't know for sure whose daughter Miyuki is, just that she's not Tatsuya's sister.

[AP24]

Just saw the latest posts on 4chan, so it's confirmed that Miyuki is not Tatsuya's sister and Tatsuya is Maya's son. Tatsuya and Miyuki are also officially engaged. I saw this coming when I started following this series. I wonder how their friends will react when they find out those two are not siblings and are engaged and part of the Yotsuba family.

So vol 20 will be the last and so it's possible the anime can adapt the whole thing. From the amount of contents covered in the first season, it's likely 2nd season will cover vol 8-13 (and some from vol 5 if there's enough for it) and 3rd season will cover vol 14-20. I estimate the novels will end in late 2016 or early 2017. There's already enough material for 2nd season and they should already have some idea what to cover in 2nd and 3rd seasons. Hopefully 2nd season will come in Fall season this year, and then the 3rd season will come out in 2017.

By the way, any anon found out why Ayako was unhappy with Tatsuya and Miyuki's engagement.
If Ayako has a thing for Tatsuya, we may see some crazy catfights between Honoka, Mayumi, Miyuki, Ayako, and Angie if the picture of vol.17 holds any meaning.

[amtro]

Ayako having a thing for Tatsuya has been a reality since vol 8. Vol 13 cemented that fact.
Personal interpretation: she is angry because Tatsuya now outranks her in the family and he's out of her reach.

[Echizen777]

That's true? But everything just seems to good to be true, and it's confirmed that it will en in volume 20? I have the impression that Tatsuya is a pawn in Maya's hands.

[amtro]

You have the impression? It's bloody confirmed mate. If Miyuki dies, so does everyone else and Maya will just sip her tea while she watches the world burn. If she lives, Maya will find that entertaining too.
