Hmmm.... well, no point in speculating about it right now. If it doesn't get touched upon further, it's most likely the incident with kendo tournament in vol 3. If it's not, it will get explained sooner or later.
Couldn't agree with you more here. Ichika basically has the most powerful weapon ever(Reiryaku Byakuya), but instead of being tactical in using it, he just decide to head charge with it and end up running out of power before reaching the enemy =.=". Anyway, with the spoiler from justpassingby, no need to hold the information anymore Spoiler for vol 7 impression:
Edit : Anyway, too late and too tired. Gonna continue the summary tomorrow, between the break of translating. Will probably translate baka to test instead of vol 6 though. |

Maybe it's a good thing the boy's a bit dense. Natural gigolos are a danger to women everywhere...
Anyway, with this talk on aptitude, was the aptitude for other characters, like ichika and the harem mentioned?

Spoiler for vol 7:
I think everything is hinted, just not put in the spot light. Asking for telling the reader of everything that happened behind the scene is like asking a movie director to tell what happened to all the other squad of the army beside the hero's squad in a war action flick, or asking what the hell the experienced magician do while Harry Potter was in the danger of dying in every volume of the novel. I'm sure they're doing something, just that we're not given the detail, and it's up to us to fill in those blanks. This is just like those film where after the main hero defeat the big boss, his friends come up to him and said that they've taken out the small fries. Just my opinion though, everyone can have different opinion and you can always just drop the series if it's not to your liking, like what I planned to do if the author doesn't address this aptitude thing soon I admit that IS was not a masterpiece, but I don't think the plot hole is that big. It's just that not everything is detailed for the reader since this story is basically Ichika's story, so what happened to other people beside Ichika doesn't matter that much, unless it's directly connected to him ^_^. If there's one thing I feel strange in the battle, it's just that Spoiler for vol 7:

I'm a little lost about the new characters that showed up after volume 4.
Could someone summarize them for me? Is the girl from the cover of volume 6, that blue haired girl the student council president? Also on volume 7 ilustrations we see two blue haired girls, one with glasses and using a kind of computer while on the IS, who is she? Who is the american representative? |

these summaries rock
seriously also, i have a feeling volume 4 won't be in season 2 (that is IF there will be one) maybe it'll be a DVD special or something as far as i know it hasn't been translated on BT

Been lurking these IS threads for a while but finally registered to share an idea regarding Houki's aptitude. Instead of her originally being a C rank which miraculously got changed to an S rank because of Tabane, maybe she was originally an S rank and the wrong ranking was the prior C ranking(hacked by Tabane)?
I figured it'd be much easier to tamper with the results of an exam than change someone's genetics and it fits with Tabane's concern for Houki. Being accepted to the IS school with an S ranking would have made her a celebrity and the world would pressure her to use an IS when she still wasn't ready. Being pressured when all you wanted was a normal life would just cause her to hate IS more. It seems as if Tabane was waiting for Houki to call her before she gave her the AkaTsubaki (which she "conveniently" already prepared) and it was only after Houki showed interest in the IS that Tabane became active in training her. Just my 2 cents. |

i think she "could" have been S from the start though where my theory differs is that rather than tampering i think houki's feelings toward her sister and the IS as an extension of that inhibited her abilities at first thus making her appear like a C though i could be wrong as the importance of "aptitude" in the world of IS has yet to be elaborated on

It's believable if she's the best from the start, but to suddenly pull an deus ex machina development to make her the best is just bad writing IMO. It's like the author suddenly decides "Oh, I like this girl, let's make her the strongest between the other girls too. Explanation? Screw explanation, let's just make her genius sister do something magic-like to make her the strongest"
