Yes at least at the start of volume 1.

"Which place are you Tonomachi?"

"358th place."

"The organizer was you!?"

"The reasons I managed to get that rank included: 'his passion seems it'd be too strong', 'he seems to be hairy', and 'his toenails seem to smell'."

"As I thought, that's the worst ranking!"

"Well, below that are the people nobody voted for. At least with the negative points I managed to win in that category."

"That's pushing it a bit far! With a rank like that, it would have been better to give up."

"Don't worry Itsuka. You were entered as Mr. Anonymous and got one vote and 52nd place."

"Wrong response!"

"Well other reasons include: 'he doesn't seem interested in women', and 'to be frank, he seems like a homo'."

"It's an iron hammer bringing death by unreasonable slander!"

"Just calm down. In the 'Fujoshi Selected Best Couple', you and I made the top ranking as a pair."

"I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THAT AT ALL!"

Shidou shouted. He was slightly worried at being part of the couple in first place

He does give me the feeling that even if the plot didn't dictate it so, he would most likely be able to get a girlfriend. Though whether he's really so good that so many girls would be falling for him is another question.

asuming that kotori would allow him to do this.

Seconded this. If a said girlfriend is a spirit, who do you think suits him?

Expecting fanboys answers...

It's clear that buy the Origami side story he has figured out that she is completely in "love"* with him as the whole point of that was to have her dump him and it failed so hard.

* I'm of the opinion that the old Origami was also in love with Shidou but due to her stunted emotional growth and dependence on him it was a less complete version than she has after volume 11.

Wait... if this is real... we're going to see the full power of Origami's LOVE...
But why? Why did she cut her hair... It looks hot for her.

Could be she likes it better shorter now or she figures since all of Shidou's memories of her have short hair it will be easier for him to see that she is the Origami he knows

LOL, when quoting your message, saw your hidden sentence.

Anyway, the first thing which came to my head, rather than thinking which spirit suited him, was which spirit needed someone like Shidou, and I thought Tohka immediately, since she didn't know much about the world, is rather like a child and needs taking care of, things which are Shidou's strong points as I pointed out in my earlier post.

I think Shidou's the kind of person that provides stability and care, so I wonder whether the wildness and freedom which Kurumi represents suits him well - I think Shidou would find Kurumi tough to handle, but maybe there's a chemistry between opposites?

Miku seems to be a person that likes to be a big sister with a dominant personality and taking care of others (I am talking from anime experience only), so when Shidou already does a good job of taking after himself, I wonder if Miku is someone that he really needs...

That's my answer based on some quick reflections. Maybe I'll think a bit about the Yamai sisters but right now I don't think of any points regarding their personalities and character that would make them a good or bad fit with Shidou. Yoshino is too young, and Kotori is his sister so I tend to automatically disqualify these two. Origami I can't comment at all since based on anime knowledge only she comes across as too aggressive or rather a control-freak, to put it in not a so polite way, and I wonder whether she suits any guy...

Would like to know your and other's answers as well.

Just finished reading Volume 8. I am proud to declare that I am smarter than Shidou and that I guessed where Natsumi hid as soon as her game started. Well, actually, it's more like I considered the possibility much sooner than he did, and I was right.

There was also Westcott doing more evil stuff, but I don't care. Time for Volume 9.

sadly to say......if shidou found out that its Yoshinon at that spot then........we won't have much to read in that volume.

The summaries are detailed to the point where a little adjustments would make it a full chapter lol.
