I just found this series recently and finally caught up. Can't believe I missed this great series.
Anyways, I don't really know why but I'm rooting for Yakumo and Harima. To me, it just seemed right/better... I don't know, maybe I feel a little sorry for Yakumo, she doesn't have anyone else to match with (Harima is the only guy she really has any real contact with); unless you count Hanai, well, if Hanai get together with Yakumo I think a part of my soul would die. (That's basing on Hanai's current character, if he changes later then it would be different.)
Well, I guess I'll try to figure out why I'm really rooting for riceball.

P.S. First post. Nice to meet you all.

Welcome, fellow riceballer. You definitely have some great potential, so join in the fun.

From what I heard, the rest of this season will probably not go much with Yakumo, but she is still great whenever they show her.

Yakumo just is that good hearted, good intentions type of character that you just cannot hate; well, unless you hate good natured people... She never intentionally tries to hurt Harima or even insults him in any way. She doesn't try to exact revenge at all, even if he did mistreat her in anyway. She is just a character that you love to root for because of those reasons (and many, many more).

Enjoy the ride!

You are absolutely right and I agree. After what happened at Tenma's bday, it is definitely implied that there is a renewed spark between the two even though on the whole, Karasuma (only 60 seconds of overall screen time in this season) is still missing in action lol. this needs more development. I don't mind a Harima x Eri/Yakumo finish (very likely Eri as one can see from the later episodes), but nonetheless, I'll always be a fan of the Harima x Tenma connection however unlikely it may be.

yakumo is FTW another supporter for the Onigiri faction

[bluerogue]

I don't understand how people could connect with tenma. Tenma has the mentality of a four year old, and she doesnt show any hints of maturing any time soon. Honestly speaking, I'd prefer the harima x yakumo or harima x eri pairing... it has sooooooo much more potential to it.

Tenma is too simple minded, and hard to connect to.

She seems to be the only character the makers of SR didnt develop. She doesnt have any hidden depth, she needs to become "more human" more real, as my creative writing teacher puts it, to be a viable pairing with harima...

I don't find a single likable quality in her. I cringe whenever I see harima bash Eri... Makes me sad that they won't end up together...

One word "LOLITA". She looks like a young elementary girl and not a highschool girl if it's sexually.

Also many people find cute and clumsy, stupid girl characters attractive...well for some anime fans though, but not me. She also like Mihoshi(Tenchi-Muyo) similar, but not the same level. Tenma's level is lower than Mishoshi's! Or maybe the same level I dunno

Well, I agree that her immaturity and denseness can be annoying at times, but occasionally she does seem genuinely sweet. Like when she cheered on her sister with Harima (and disguised herself to test him, lol). Also, when she toook Harima in off the street because he had no other place to stay, or when she tried to sabotage Sawachika's engagement because she knew she wasn't happy with it.

The problem with the character is that its only a step from merely being cutesily stupid, to being insensitive to others' feelings. That's why it sometimes can be hard to "connect" with her. I don't agree with Bluerogue totally about her having no engaging characteristics, but they do need to emphasize her kindness and ability to empathize and give people the benefit of the doubt. As it is, I'm getting tired of how she frequently jumps to conclusions about people without thinking things through.

Edit: Sorry if I'm straying off the main topic of the thread; just thought that bluerogue had a valid point that Iw ould like to address.

Flag of course.

Flag fraction here! But i'm a little worry about the ending to episode 19. Tenma better not come back!

[Owaranai Destiny]

Seems to be plenty of Flag faction supporters here...But I'll go with the Onigiri, thank you. I think the pairing's pretty compatible and quite plausible too.

On a side note, I do like the Flag faction pairing...Just that they come in a close second.

[cyw1988]

Flag FTW!!!

[Moon Eclipse]

FLAG! Yakamo is the only one other than Eri that deserves Harima and she's not interested in him in that way All other are undeserving of such a nice guy

[dieseltrain]

Onigiri faction all the way. I just don't see anyone else worthy of Yakumo other than Harima. It just they don't know they like each other yet, probably won't find out till the end of the manga. It takes some serious patience to see their relationship develop.

[Moon Eclipse]

I don't know... I think Yakamo might end up single in the end... as sad as that might be

still gotta keep the onigiri faith.

[lavarock]

Onigiri here, but if Flag happend as the end of the series I will live with it, as it's my 2nd choice.

Realistically, if they chose to close the series with some OVA (since it seems like there is no definite ending for S2) or another season. I would say it will be TenmaxKarasuma and Harima left alone. Obviously Harima doesn't seems to let go of Tenma. There needs to be some serious plot development to make Harima change his mind. I think at some point the author will move the plot forward, and I believe now it's close to that point.

[horsdhaleine]

Harima x Tenma of course! i don't have any reasons to like eri...
