I perfectly understand Eri when she wishes she could be alone with Harima, but thinking Tenma should notice it and leave them alone? Come on

Truth-kun · 2006-06-29, 06:08

Tenma never notices anything. Its like she's lacking a sense or something :P.

nadare · 2006-06-29, 09:12

Is it just me or this is the first time I saw eri talking with her inner self?

I'm sure that it would be simpler for Eri to simply tell Tenma that she would like to be left alone, but she would run the risk of either revealing her feelings for Harima or appearing to be rude. Instead, she's stuck wishing that Tenma would simply notice and make her life easy.

She's been doing it since at least S1 Ep.10.

And Eri gets shifted to the sidelines....AGAIN

. Is this even a story arc anymore?

Wake me when they get back to school...

I knew something looked weird with "harima."

Boo! A wash chapter! What a waste of a week!

Turambar · 2006-07-03, 05:59

Yeah, a wash chapter, though still enjoyable nontheless.

Though have we EVER seen Harima do the noodle thing with his nose? I don't recall seeing it in any of the manga or the anime, so if someone has seen this please refresh my memory

ZODDGUTS · 2006-07-03, 17:15

True no story development in this chapter but you know... it still was pretty damn funny. Seriously I laughed my ass off when he said that "this girl mistook me because of my acting aura or maybe this girl is an idiot"...

If Tenma can mistake the actor for Harima, it's entirely possible for Harima to get mistaken for the actor. His fight with Max earlier on seemed like part of a period drama, if I recall correctly.

While this entire chapter might be irrelevant, it might also turn into a setup for something else, down the line. We'll probably return to Eri's story soon enough.

Recall Tenma's Power Rating? Super Stupidy? Hmm makes me wonder if the story arcs are based on the power ratings. If so then Harima's Power rating is maxed out to infinite Ojo,Tenma-chan(without the heart) and Tsukamoto. Eri fans rejoice!

Typical SR: one step forward, two giant missteps back...

Charm, actor....yep, that's two.

Jin should speed up Karasuma's departure so this story will actually get somewhere soon.

How is this a step back nevermind two?

JarOfMayo · 2006-07-08, 12:21

I don't see how it is a step back either.

When you think about it we really know very little about SR chars away from School contexts and mixed with various other peoples. 185 just seemed to be like with the Harima-worker a way to show out how Eri can be around people she doesn't bring up walls against. The results are tremendous no? Seems so much more relaxed and genuinely happy.

The misunderstanding here was merely Tenma being Tenma (In regards to the Yakusha) but then again its not like the relationship of Harima-Eri wasn't a topic since before, just apparently its more of one now.

In all, I can't help but think this is a step forward more then any step back.

A note, seems the series has taken a back seat and all in some ways to more new ones, but I can not express how much patience fans need to eventually see the end. This is more of a comedy before a romance so things will be paced and slow for those who seek the latter. I like to think the day SR ends will be like the day Mahoraba did, a sad one. One we've been eagerly awaiting but at the same time dread to see.

No real Flag progression and everyone getting the wrong idea (again).

The foreigner subplot actually had ties to the previous Flag arc, and that should've been expounded on more. Then maybe this arc wouldn't have been such a waste.

And Harima could've seen this side of her, had she not kicked him back into Tenma mode.

hi no ken Jebus Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004	Spoiler for ch184: Weird chapter this week. Hanai wants to enjoy his school trip and mikoto has to suffer for it. Meanwhile Tenma is taking care of Harima who collapsed because of anemia. However it turns out that it isn't Harima but some guy named Kouji Yakushamaru, an actor. He can't stop pretending to be Harima because of Tenma's eyes when she looks at him. Tenma then tells him do that trick he does making the noodle come out from one side of the nose to the other. He does it, then Tenma takes it up a notch and tells him to make yatsuhashi, local delicacy in Kyoto, in his nose and make it come out his mouth. The guy thinks it's crazy but after seeing her he couldn't help but do it. Chapter ends with Tenma seeing someone she thinks is mangoku from that samurai show she likes and they go after him. Mikoto and sawachika wondering what is she doing and who is that old man. Last edited by hi no ken Jebus; 2006-07-01 at 10:35.

hi no ken Jebus Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004	Spoiler for ch 185: More Hanai wanting to be spoiled and Mikoto suffering for it. The harima lookalike actor yakushamaru is feeling sick after Tenma made him do the yatsuhashi trick. Sawachika takes care of him, she knows he's not a real high school student, and he takes her around to places he likes. Tenma still thinks that he's really harima and that he's on a secret date with sawachika. Tenma goes to report to mikoto and co. Mikoto asks for confirmation and she tells her that during the day she asked her for a handkerchief and found a charm with both their names on it. Harima finally appears and runs into sawachika and they are greeted by the whole class. On the train ride home they are forced to sit together on the train. Harima feels like he's being forced into this and doesn't know why. Last edited by hi no ken Jebus; 2006-07-08 at 09:26.

Truth-kun Do the Penguin Dance! Join Date: Jun 2006	Spoiler for comments: Hmm, I don't know. This has been probably the second time that Eri treats a person "like Harima" (but either she doesn't know its him or its not him) nicely. The first person would be Worker-kun (who IS Harima), and second would be that Actor guy (who LOOKS like Harima). I find it utterly confusing on why Eri changes the way she does, but rarely does so when Harima (without confusion) is around. But all in all, a very very very good chapter for Flag. Though my confusion still runs through my mind. EDIT: This is the page that probably disturbed me in this chapter: (How do I post thumbnails T___________T) Click

nadare Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006	Spoiler: Is it just me? or am I the only person here thinks that chapter 185 took a big step in terms of story progression. The "Eri dating Harima" would only be a misunderstanding and "Eri X Harima love charm" would also be a misunderstanding. But, Tenma just knew that eri likes harima and vice versa(well for harima he doesnt like eri, yet). The date one would be a misunderstanding easily proven. But, the love charm misunderstanding would be hard to prove. Since nobody saw what actually happened to the love charm execpt us, the readers. Mikoto and Akira already knew that eri likes Harima. But, for Tenma to know, It is a big step for story progression.
