That's an interesting read. Just kind of skimmed though it and will probably look at it more when moments exist for fun.
I like a lot of the theories and agree with probably many... like recently also believing Yots was the first Rena and not Itsuki and such. But I kind of jumped around to see how some theories might match up as new chapters that weren't available to him at time of writing and seeing hole(s) already... like finding Fuu's test paper and giving it back to him which led to her first meeting of him.
This chapter 88, we see it was a simple setup of she found it on the floor of the cafeteria, she asks who's this 100 pt test belong to, and someone saying it's probably that smart boy and the chapter ends with most likely Yotsuba reuniting with Fuu. Wasn't that Itsuki took it home, etc... just a convenient set up by the author to set up the Yots meeting Fuu... I think. 😀
He mentions how she set up other things like purposely locking Fuu and Itchika in the storage in chapter 27 as a mediator, and uses mediator throughout the story, and I kind of think that many scenes like that... are just simple setups the author needed to set up the more important scene of stuff like Fuu and Ichika's interaction while locked in the storage to create another scene to make her heart go doki doki to add to all the others throughout the manga to build the story of Ichika's feelings for Fuu.
Then he mentions stuff like Chapter 12 where the girls are lighting the last of the fireworks and getting into how they are by chance or symbolically happen to be in a pentagram configuration and linking it to some spiritual meaning and reaffirming the role of Yotsuba as the leader of the family and the most devious of them all as the mediator, etc. Uh... yeah. Thank goodness he wasn't gonna say give it some satanic lean there lol. But to say Yots the the devious mediator and head of family?? Eh... I don't think she was the head of family.
It is interesting though and does answer some questions I had. But basically the upcoming chapters in this arc should answer a lot of our questions and we should know here Yots position is at the end of the arc. Like I said, with these chapters, I can see Yotsuba being the girl under the bell if she decides to turn on the love switch at the end or Fuu is able to break the chain of guilt that may hide true feelings.
I mentioned elsewhere there is still much more left to learn like what happened that evening with Fuu and Ichika and what did they share. As well as I suspect that Ichika will be quitting school soon to pursue her acting as well as put Fuu behind her. But I also gave a scenario where if that happened that Fuu just might go chase her and bring her back because throughout she story she's the only one that, to the readers, has spilled her heart out showing she's crazy in love with him and I feel pretty cruel to do that and then have another sister win??
But with recent chapters... I can see Yots being the bride if she turns on the love switch and I can see how many of past moments connect better to create the setting for ending. And if that happens and if Ichika does quit school and pursue acting... I can see that one way for the author to end those feelings Ichika has would be to just let her go off and pursue acting and not show up again until the wedding.
Interesting.
