I know what the author is doing, that he's using Kaoru's budding love for Minamoto as maturity development so she turns out to be this all powerful but benevolent esper leader, but in the process he shelves the other 2 and he tries to remedy this by making them fall for other people despite all the development in the past with Minamoto himself like all these other people in the universe haven't been open to a harem end (Fujiko, Sakaki, hell even Minamoto's own mom). Matsukaze being there is just a death knell for their characterization, because this means another Minamoto/Kaoru development that I'm already tired of.

I would have accepted both Barret and Sakaki if they were more developed on that end, but it's just ship tease after ship tease with no real development whatsoever.

Yes I understand that Minamoto might not have responded appropriately to their affections, but that would just be poor writing. What makes Barret and Sakaki have THAT much more influence than the person who guided, raised, and loved them? Would they suddenly give up a half-decade+ of falling for Minamoto just because he didn't kiss them once in middle school? If that's the case then that just means their love was never LOVE, it was just infatuation, yet how can you be JUST infatuated with the person who basically saved your entire life, ON ALL ASPECTS? You see main couples in other fiction falling for less.

Yes, I wish that there's more Aoi/Shiho chapters. If Shiina really wants to pair them with Barret/Sakaki, then give us chapters with real development not just panty flashes and snark dialogue.

I can't really get invested in this final arc. It really feels like the series lost some direction since !not-Minamoto enter the series, but this rescue the black phantom brainwashed espers has been a particularly bad low point for the series given we keep doing the same formula over and over. A shame since everything up to that point was really excellent. The confrontation against Gillian just before the current arc was really good... aw well.
