Kodaka: "Thank you! I will always be grateful to you that you brought Sena and me together!" Yozora: "Errr......" Kodaka: "You will always be my best friend!" Yozora: "Friend...?" Kodaka: "Of course! Without your club I would have never gained happiness in my life. But now I found the love of my life thanks to you..." Something breaks in Yozora's mind. Yozora: "He, he, he...." Kodaka: "Yozora? Aren't you feeling well...? What, what... are you holding in your hand...? No... don't do it! Don't!!!!" The End. Last edited by mironicus; 2012-06-17 at 10:21. |

I honestly think Yozora could turn into a dangerous yandere, before i read the v7 summary Yozora was my personal pick from the girls, but after the things she said, Sena overtook her, i dislike yandere's, they usually scare me (only 2 yandere's i've found do not) and if Yozora becomes a yandere, she'd drop way behind all the other girls for me.

Did you remember the dream Kodaka had at the end of Volume 5 (Time Machine)? He ran away from Yozora who was hunting him and at the end she'll shoot him and shouts "You belong to me!". This could be interpreted as an instinctive warning from his inner conscience that he might be in danger if he rejects Yozoras feelings.
Yozora also says to Sena in a very serious quarrel that she wishes that she never existed and she seems to be convinced that she and Kodaka could be already a ... (she is not completing the sentence so the word "couple" is left out) if Sena never joined the club (later in Volume 7). Anything could happen if Yozora's selfish world breaks apart. |

The author let all evil deeds backfire on her. So she never get the things done her way. And she does not learn, does not reflect and shows no signs of empathy. She is only thinking about herself and her bad luck, pitying herself constantly, also blames others for being responsible that she is unlucky (in her case she blames Sena).
Yozora makes an giant afford and thinks about how to get Kodakas attention and friendship. She founded the club with the intention to refresh the old friendship with him - and only with him. To launch the club she even blackmails, slaps and hits little innocent and defenseless children so she can be alone with her beloved Kodaka. She is betraying him from the beginning, the whole existence and the intention of the club was just a big lie because off selfish reasons. Yozora is indeed someone you can call a "false friend". So... who is more selfish than her? And how selfish is Sena? In her quarrel with Yozora in Vol. 7 she indirectly requested her to confess her love to Kodaka and not to constantly cling to the past. You should do what you gotta do! Sena cares for Yozora even though they are love rivals. Sena is not hitting on Kodaka within the club and is focussing on club activities. Sena did not join the club because she wanted to be Kodakas girlfriend (unlike Yozora and Rika). Sena qualifies herself as being a "true friend". And Rika was honest from the beginning that she wants Kodaka for herself. Last edited by mironicus; 2012-06-18 at 17:38. |

If all the characters in this story were transparent, honest, and free of issues, there would be no need for the club in the first place. They all act under false pretences some of the time, but so does everyone. The way you phrase things above, you make it sound like Yozora is cold, calculating, and vicious in her attempts to control and ensnare Kodaka. That could perhaps have been the case if she weren't so comically incompetent at it. I don't necessarily feel sympathy towards her all the time, but I think her actions stem more out of being something of a social misfit than a truly "bad person". (The whole "little innocent and defenseless children" line is a bit of a laugh too -- there are no such characters in this story. You're turning everyone else into angels so you can frame one character as a devil.) I think you've really missed a large portion of this story if you can paint Yozora and Sena in such extreme black-and-white terms. Neither of them are either totally good or totally evil, and they each have issues that cause them problems socially. That's why they need the club, and each other. I think that's really the heart of this story.

Ah..The holy crusade against Yozora begins, this time of the month?
This novel is self-styled zennen love comedy...The characters are all supposed to be zennen (yes gasp Sena included). Great you love Sena as a character and she's an inspiration for some and all, though everything you described about Yozora, might, gasp, be a moe point for other people? There's no such thing as good or evil in a love comedy, perhaps eventual winners and loser. Kodaka is not destined for any particular girl by design (and he sure doesn't quite deserve anyone right now). Sena sure qualifies herself as many things, whether that viewpoint is shared by other people (and other characters included) is debatable. Hey, that's her zennen aspect. I just want to CUDDLE Yozora's awkwardness! I maintain Sena is too much of a 'bro' character for me (perhaps because her boobies didn't quite have as much an impact on me) , just not girly enough. As Rika aptly puts it, "female power rating of 5, what trash" :P Actually the thing that probably annoys most Sena shipper is, there are hints that Sena cares more about Yozora than Kodaka. That all this time you are dreaming about how Kodaka's perfect with Sena blah blah, is irrelevant! Though it is one bonus point for Sena being the closet M, through and through Btw that dream was about Kodaka's own guilt. Just like how he asked Yozora in the holiday house ghost story whether he'll be punished for betraying a friend. Had Yozora played it straight, and told him how shitty he made her felt during the relevation scene, Kodaka will probably be eager to make amends. Alas she's too much of a tsundere so it's the 'think nothing of it, past is the past', exactly the opposite of how she felt to avoid the embrassment of admitting - which made Kodaka uncertain about how much Yozora cared.

Just think about it: If Sena succeeds in conquering Yozora (friendship) and Kobato (accepting her), there is no obstacle any more for the Kodaka route, which is the end of the game. Quote:

Also what actually makes Yozora sad is that she wants to go back to the Sora and Taka relationship they had in the past and it ain't happening... |
