Is Ouka going to be the winning heroine?? Or is this just bait from Reiji-sama to make this manga like Kanokari??

thank you for translation

Damn it the generic route

At last, Arata has at least started seriously thinking about romance.
It happened exactly as I mentioned: “one of the sisters will make some kind of romantic move again, and then a chapter later, Ouka will do something toward Arata.” This time, Ouka made the most effective move of all the sisters. Arata admitted for the first time that she might be the person he loves. I think Ouka fans can celebrate. Personally, I believe the author has been steering Ouka toward victory for a very long time, and the series has repeatedly mentioned and shown that Ouka and Arata “have been drawn to each other” since childhood.

I'm just wondering what will happen to Banri and what plans the author even has for her. Literally, after her arc ended, Banri said that she would remain his sister forever and gave up. We already know Ouka's, Minami's, and Kotono's feelings in depth, and in Seiha's case, the author has already started developing her storyline, whereas in Banri's case, he has left everything stagnant.

I believe Ouka will win (Arata wants a woman who will support him, and Ouka has just been given that role and also fulfilled it during their childhood; additionally, only Ouka knows about that “shoulder to lean on”). Ouka also has many more references foreshadowing her victory. I also feel a little sorry for Kotono, who loved Arata “before it was cool” and will probably lose

Bet the author is going to make Ouka and Arata the second pair of siblings.

 

[yourmanzstan]

Welp .. this just feels like QQ all over again. If they end up being related it just feels like it would be for shock value and nothing else.

She's sixteen, so yeah, most likely.

 

[Magnus_Prime]

Kotono still best choice.

I think so too. If Reiji were to decide that he wants to make them siblings, I would expect logical explanations because without them, it would look like nothing more than a cheap plot device to surprise the readers and nothing else.

Based on the information we have, Kaname tells us directly that Ouka and Arata are not twins, so since the Father and Mother who adopted them knew outright that they are not biological siblings, how could any of the other siblings have found out something like that? If they are not actual twins, it also makes no sense (from a biological point of view) for Arata and Ouka to have been born in the same year by the same woman.

So I don't know how Reiji wants to tie this all together into a coherent whole.

Man I was rooting for Minami during the last several chapters but I kinda had the feeling that Ouka would be the winning one unless the author does us dirty like how the QQ author did us.

There is a scientific theory that says that children that grow up playing together with their parents development a natural, subconscious understanding not to fall in love with their sibling, and those that don't get that kind of childhood have an increased chance to develop romantic feelings for each other/one sided.

If Ouka and Arata do end up as blood related, and it's clear that none of the siblings had a true mother figure and a dad that worked a lot, then we got a logical set up as to why they can't be together despite their feelings being real.

 

[starbruh]

Bombshell they’re blood related

By a logical explanation, I mean how could Kaname and Chihiro not know that those two are actually biological twins, and how could one of the adopted children discover something that their adoptive parents had no idea about? There is a possibility that Arata and Ouka were adopted from the same institution, and I suspect that Ouka's adoption was planned, while Kaname additionally decided to adopt Arata because he was drawn to him. That is what his monologue in one of the chapters suggests. Also, why does Ouka get so many references to Arata's wife and daughter? There are so many symbolic moments and flashbacks involving Ouka that it practically screams that she will win. (If these were supposed to be red herrings, then I think that's weak and stupid, and I believe there shouldn't be so many of them in that case.)

Chihiro played the role of a good mother. All the children remember her fondly and have keepsakes from her, for example, Ouka has those hairpins and Seiha has the ring. Even Ouka's arc revolved around contacting her mother and asking her for advice, so Chihiro must have fulfilled her maternal duties properly before she passed away. The only girl who displayed this kind of behavior was the youngest one (Kotono).

That's why, to me, it would be strange, and I would feel that Reiji simply wants to surprise the readers and is going to pull off a repeat of the terrible QQ. I'm not rooting for Ouka (so such a development would work in my favor, especially since Ouka is definitely the frontrunner). I don't like tsunderes, but despite my preferences, I'd rather the series remain consistent and logical instead of resorting to cheap tricks.

 

[DexDK]

Still rooting for Minami, but I guess Ouka is still better than Banri or Kotono...

 

[Felgon]

YESSSSSSSS

 

[S4n44]

It's already obvious who's the second real sibling it's Kotono/Arata, I mean by our real world logic those who look-a-like are related 😲 🫨 🫢. But I want Seiha to win and be Arata/Seiha real sibling😏😏😏😏😏 wincest

 

[Absent666]

Inb4 they are the other bioligical siblings.

Kotono wins by default.

 

[erintesden]

Boring... Ouka is probably the safest option. Also it feels like the moment we have a Lowkey tsundere girl Ouka, she is almost always the winner in generic manga.

My favorite is Kotono. She was the one that liked Arata from the start and was proactive about it, which is amazing for such a shy girl, never trying to deny her feelings or beat around the bush like all the other sisters.

The rest of the other sisters In neutral about (except for Banri who right mow is the trashiest option on my opinion). But Ouka in particular, while not bad, feels like the most boring possible winner.

 

[Nobody6775]

Yea lets go best girl ouka. Show them that you are better than a dumass kid and an athletic girl that crumbles under the slightest burden
