I agree with what you said. I would rather the next set of real siblings would be Arata and one for the girls. But if anything they’ll make the siblings two of the sisters so that there still this whole big competition for Arata’s attention. Like instead of eliminating the options it’s still the same or they’ll add an outsider eventually. To me that be horrible route.I have mixed feelings about this chapter, literally everything we know was repeated in it.
1. War declared on the sisters, but the sisters have already been fighting for a long time.
2. Arata saying probably for the 5th time that he has to do something about the sisters' feelings, and he still does nothing.
3. The second pair of siblings we knew about this since chapter 34.
So Reiji is suggesting to us that Seiha may know the truth, but what would that mean then? After all, if Seiha were Arata's biological sister, she wouldn't be hitting on him, so Seiha may know which of the sisters is biologically related to Arata, but then we are left with 2 guesses Kotono or Banri.
And I think Reiji doesn't even hide anymore that Banri's character has become a side character. She literally got a tiny panel where she smiled, and even in such a sad way.
And well, Ouka is fighting for Arata again (although here she is right, the decision belongs to Arata). I don't know, but am I the only one who feels like Reiji always gives Ouka something to do in these types of, let's say, romantic situations? Ouka always steps forward and fights for Arata, the same thing happened in the trip arc, also after Minami's kiss, etc. (so what, could Ouka be Reiji's heroine?).
Considering what she said, and the wording used, it's very likely that by "set" she means male-female, and since shion and minami are already a set, the only other male is arata, so yeah.God I hope Arata isn't related to any of them, don't make this creepier.
Honestly there's 3 optionsGonna be Ouka and Arata, they are twins for real. That's what I hope for at least, if her biological sister is Kotono I am gonna be really pissed off, sounds like something added just to disqualify best girl.
I know Kotono wouldn't care about them being blood related, but Arata would for sure. I don't see her winning at all if that happensHonestly there's 3 options
A: Total cop-out, it's just like two of the sisters are related 2 each other probably Banri and Seiha or something, so that they can pull another bioparent drama and make Arata play emotional crutch again to make one or both of them fall harder and stop sitting on the sidelines.
B: Semi cop-out, it's Arata and one of the older two, to take one of the ones who are barely even participating out of the running.
or C: Kotono & Arata. She's was going for even when they all thought they were blood related, if you think she'd just give up from that you're crazy. So all it'd really do is pour fuel on the fire, when the others realise she's still not backing down.
Aaaalso option C would certainly make one crowd happy:
