Kare to Kanojo no Sentaku - Vol. 5 Ch. 27

I admit this feels a touch truncated with one chapter left, but I also would probably have to re-read volumes 4 & 5 in one sitting to get the flow and pacing again, as I'm sure the narrative pacing smoother than I'm remembering.

That said, Haruka moving out and getting her life fully on-track is nice to see, even if it's a full 5-year plan to reach the "real" starting line.
I guess I just fully expected that Haruka would end up with him in the end and not Aika, but if I'm honest, I hope it's Aika, if anyone at all. Something about the "ML & FL" not getting together, and not in a "I lost to someone else" sort of way, is refreshing to see.

Though there's a chapter left to throw a last-second wrench in the works, so I'll just hold off until we get the full conclusion.

Thank you for the chapter, though, as always.

Seems like real positive moves for everyone.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

While this seems a bit happier than it was in the last chapter, I still stand by my opinion from last chapter that this feels like this is just running away again. Repeating that here:

While it's nice that it seems like they're not going to be forced together, it's disappointing that it is seeming like the solution to it all is "Haruka abandons all the friends she just made and moves away, now there is no problem."

That isn't Haruka and Tachibana figure out how to still be friendly without it being romantic, it is Haruka exiling herself so that there definitely is no romance and only long-distance-friendship. Kind of the same garbage that Haruka's ex did to her by breaking her heart and leaving so that Haruka would be forced to get off her butt.

If all that ends up being the case, that means the whole payoff of this story was just to roughly return to the status quo of before the story even began?

No one had any problems before Haruka came into the story, and Haruka is fixing all of the problems she caused by just leaving. And now she even explicitly says to everyone that she's doing it so that Kazuma will make a move on another girl.

This shit got axed

Next chapter solves nothing.

Lost all wind in its sails and now it's just gonna drift to a sudden and unceremonious ending where the main characters land about 10 feet down the shore from where they started.

I think Haruka going to get a huge surprise when he shows up back intown. Probably going to work for her since he also is looking for a job or co-op with her.
