Koukou Debut Chapter 24 Discussion

thank god yoh doesn't exist in real life, he'd steal all the girls T_T

that ending was too sweet for me

awwww!! that was the ending i expected.. that was exactly the reaction and the move that i expected from haruna... i never thought she would allow yoh to stand his ex up...



although some of my previous opinions have changed... first off.... i originally felt sorry for kurihara, the ex, since i thought, after knowing that yoh has a girlfriend and that it was haruna, that she just wanted to meet yoh for closure.. but when she said during their meeting if she and yoh could START OVER, everything just changed, i think she deserved that in one way or another....



another very minor disappointment was yoh... although it ended perfectly, even saying i love you to haruna, which he probably learned from his experience with kurihara where he didn't show his feelings leading to their break up, there is still that statement that really bugged me... it was before meeting kurihara, yoh said,"are you sure? i can't guarantee anything if i see her."



that bugged me cuz it gives the impression that his love for haruna is not, or rather, may not be enough for him to stay with her... there's that possibility that he might go back to kurihara.. although its perfectly reasonable since she was the first love and everything, but still! that was the past.. come on... oh well.. at least it ended well enough... hehe

B..Bear..Beam



Anyway, that is one girl.. so persistent even if Haruna will give up on Yoh



But i dont like how her ex said "i think we should start over again"



Cool he didnt turn it over



Haha love the end part so funny

This was an excellent chapter! Haruna pulled a grown-up move by telling Yoh to confront the issue so they can move on. That was nice!

But another possibility is that he didn't mean what he said and just said that to get out of it knowing that it might scare Haruna to know that there's a slight chance that she'll lose him.  By saying that, he was hoping for her to change her mind because of his discomfort to face things head on.  He was hoping for her to drop it but she didn't so he had to suck it up and go ahead.  This might be something Yoh would do if it is about something that makes him anxious enough and arguably this does as he tries to avoid it for a long time.  And he might have thought that this would be a good way to keep Haruna from sympathizing with the ex gf and to see it as a bad idea.  



Another possiblity is that he may not be talking about his feelings rekindling at all but about whether the meeting will be positive or not e.g. whether the meeting might cause unnecessary drama or not or whether he'll feel better after the experience and will get the closure he needs or not. Perhaps it was only Haruna's interpretation that he might go back to the ex if he sees her,  after all he doesn't say anything specific about it and she doesn't voice her thoughts out loud for him to agree or disagree.  I think it's also the case of translation as well.  The online version says "I can't guarantee anything by meeting her" but the hard copy which I own at home says "I don't know what will happen if I meet her" and what Haruna says before is different in both versions as well.  In the online version she says something more along the lines of " I want to keep being happy with you from the bottom of my heart " and in the hard copy it says "I want you to be happy always". So his response to the different translations would naturally give a different impression I think.
