Just finished watching episode 4. The relationships are already pretty complex and deep. But now things get a funny twist as Yurika shows actual romantic interest in brother Jun, rather than just taking advantage of sentaro modelling for her. I have here drew a diagram to illustrate this process. Anyone wanna predict what's going to happen in the future? Who's going to end up with who?

I couldn't see your diagram, but I'll do it in words...

Kaoru likes Ricchan who likes Sentarou who likes Yurika who likes Jun who wants to bugger sweet little Kaoru... ( LOL )

Just a little more seriously, given that Kaoru is a rich kid with a busybody aunt, and Yurika is also likely a rich kid, I wouldn't be surprised if Kaoru's aunt sets him up with Yurika as a Family Match...

to be continued...

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK JUN WANTS TO GIVE IT TO KAORU LOL
Your diagram isn't showing up either.
Anyway this isn't going to end without some drama. I'm assuming Yurika is probably going to fall for Jun and not return Sentarou's feelings. Then as we can obviously see from Ritsuko she seems to like Sentarou and not Kaoru(She begins to cry when he kisses her) OR she is having conflicted feelings. She might realize that she likes Kaoru but of course likes Sentarou so now she doesn't know anymore. Just two scenarios for her.

I really hope this was going to have like a happy ending for Kaoru and Sentarou being with the girls they like but it obviously isn't going to end that way.(maybe)

The way I see it in-fact one of them might end up being still single at the end or maybe find another partner in the end? Since it seems like Yurika has fallen head over heals for Jun and Jun seems to like her as well. It's still REALLY early in the anime so these are only some guesses. I'm thinking it may end up with Ritsuko and Sentarou together though the way things have played out so far. Who knows though still got a lot of episodes to go(they haven't announced how many?) and if I remember correctly Kaoru has a cousin who might enter this mess of love later. Although that may not happen. Just throwing in my two cents!

LOL! sorry about the diagram guys, hope that fixes it. I don't know about Brother Jun x richie boy, but I can definitely see that rich family match thing happening. But I want a happy ending for Kaoru and Ritsuko, cause I think Ritsuko could show him what its like to have a family and live a normal life...

Here, have a simpler picture



It's kind of frustrating seeing relationships like this. I just hope this anime doesn't turn out to be another Honey & Clover. Unrequited Love: The Anime.

I think we all know how this is going to end. Sentarou and Kaoru are gonna end up together and make sweet manly love. They'll adopt all the mix-raced Asian-White hybrid babies they can find and move to Brazil where the xenophobic American soldiers and Japanese housewives can't get to them. It's the only logical resolution.

Jun and Yurika elope since her parents are against it. Jun later leaves a pregnant and disowned Yurika and joins a jazz band in America.

Kaoru's family marry him to Mariko and he commits suicide at 35 by throwing himself from the family company's building, unable to escape the suffocating life of high society.

... I guess I prefer a fairy tale resolution.

Ok, quick clarification. What I posted is not a spoiler, I haven't read the source.

I'm just playing along the lines of InfinityPal's "only logical resolution". I really, really doubt what I posted will happen.

(@EdenBaggins - So yeah, it is a joke.)

i think that kaoru's going to end up with ritsuko unless sentarou develops romantic feelings for ritsuko because if sentarou doesn't like ritsuko back like that then it'll end up being a one-sided relationship and there's no point in that x.x however with kaoru she already knows he likes her and maybe ritsuko does like him back kind of but she also likes sentarou so yeah it'll be interesting to see how that works out x.x i'm not too sure about the sentarou > yurika > jun triangle though D:

I personally prefer kaoru x ritsuko, jun x yurika, and hoping someone else comes in for sentaro. i dont think either ritsuko or yurika fits sentaro's personality. they are not right for him in my opinion :\

I think Yurika -> Jun should be threaded also, the only real development was like, at the end of episode 4. ._.

Alternate ending:

Whilst everyone is distracted by all their love problems and jazz music, Third Impact occurs. Everyone is turned into an orange liquid-ish substance (i.e. Tang) and the entire Earth is made ruinous. Then all of a sudden, two bodies appear out of the orange gelatinous mass. They are of Kaoru and Sentarou. They must repopulate the world togethah. Final lines: Kaoru: "I feel sick".

I think even the mangaka herself hasn't decided yet who to pair up with whom :p
But prediction-wise, Yurika is very likely to be paired with Jun. They're perfect for each other. Plus, it seems that Yurika only sees Sentarou as a younger brother at best. He isn't a romance option for her as she doesn't even see him as a mature, charismatic adult.

As for Kaoru, Ritsuko and Sentarou, I think its best for them to stay friends until the end. The author seems to value "friendship" more than romantic feelings anyway, so its not a big deal. Certain lines in the manga even said what means as,

I don't like that Ri-chan might be in love with Sentaro, it's such a cliche in romance animes and romance in general.
I was hoping there was another reason to why she was reluctant to give Kaoru right away, something complicated.
But I guess the anime will be longer if she really is in love with Sentaro, I'm still in denial :P

It'll probably end like:

yurika x jun
kaoru x ritsuko
sentaro x jazz
(borrowed HunterHearts' post)
Though since Jun is a player, it might not end with him being with Yurika, and maybe out of respect for Sentaro, he won't get together with her.

I agree, but its also possible that brother Jun is really romantically serious about Yurikae, and they really do end up together as lovers. Sentaro isn't really the romantic material to be honest :P

I wouldn't call it a pentagon. It's more like just high schoolers finding their way through their emotions about who likes who. Almost like a slice-of-life soap opera.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?
