Genshiken Chapter 92 Discussion

As for Sue, I still can't tell whether she has a thing for Madarame or if she's actually playing along as a part of some grander scheme she may have in mind (maybe to pretend she's interested to make Hato feels jealous, threatened and/or realize how how feels about Mada OR how he would feel IF Sue (or any other girl) were to win Madarame before he could?) I mean, at this point, I wouldn't put anything that complex past Sue since she has shown much resistance when people ask her if she likes Mada or not.
Anyways, the most interesting part of this chapter is at the very end where we see concern from Yajima about Hato's happiness and how as long as he lived his life the way he wanted to, it'd be all she'd ever need...I personally think it'd make more sense for Hato and Yajima to hook up than Hato and Madarame (c'mon, there's no logical reason for Madarame to suddenly go gay, he has NEVER been interested in BL, so even if he thought Hato is attractive as a girl, he always snaps outta it when he realized Hato has and will always be a guy.)
So yeah, the plot thickens...

Chapter 92 is out
This Chapter alone made me like Sue more, she went from a 9-10 out of 10 to a 11 out of 10. She's so kool and resolving the dispute between Angela and Keiko lol. I also found it amusing that by the end of Angela's and Keiko's competition, they understood each other without a translator, well communication is 70% body language and 20% voice tone. And the Rivalry showdown/stare down during the bath scene between Angela and Keiko was exactly what I've been waiting for. So many awesome moments this chapter, and I can only expect more next chapter. Sue and Madarame alone in a room will be very interesting.
I also found it intriguing that Angela and Keiko easily allow Sue to vist Madarame to check on him.
I can only assume that Angela is only in the game to help Sue, but the one night stand is still on the table. While Keiko let Sue visit him because she doesn't consider Sue a threat, especially since she's still in denial. But I reckon by the end of the next chapter when Sue visits Madarame, she'll realize her feelings for him.
Still unsure how Hato's role will play in this, he says he wants to go home for new year's break and sort out his thoughts, maybe he'll get some advice from kaminaga onee-san.
Here I thought Chapter 92 will be highlight of genshiken nidame, I was mistaken, I'm expecting chapter 93 to be better.

Welp, I'm somewhat glad they (by they, I mean the writer/mangaka) is making Hato realize that maybe he is gay (or at the very least bi-curious) esp. regarding his feelings/fantasies towards Madarame. Also looks like the potential love interests are systematically taking themselves out of the equation/competition (hence how Keiko and Angela both say of each other how the other isn't suited for Madarame, and also how they'd only get with Madarame for a screw and not an actual relationship)
Although I agree that Angela is generally only interested in a one night stand (and supporting Sue), well I guess at the very least she wants to make Madarame physically happy, she might be open to a relationship but highly unlikely.
Keiko on the other hand doesn't seem interested in sleeping with Madarame, since she has a lot of other options to choose from ;-P as she clearly stated she's generally only interested in Bi-shounen (good looking guys). I Think Madarame is more of a back up plan for Keiko, if she couldn't find anyone to settle down with. Madarame would probably look after her.

It's difficult to say with Sue, I'd say it's a bit of both, she mixed up her emotions for both the fantasy and reality. Maybe her fantasy is to see Hato and Madarame hook up in reality and made it her goal to make it happen but her reality feelings subconsciously want a Sue x Mada ending.
I mean at the very beginning she tries to pair up Hato x Mada and she was almost willing to do anything for her fantasy to happen but then she cost the line and pecked Madarame on the cheek in front of Saki and now she isn't sure what the intent was behind the kiss, was it because she liked Madarame and was comfortable around to do it or was it in pursuit of her fantasy?
Although she continues in her pursuit for her fantasy, it's no longer clear cut. She continues to deny it but her actions seem to speak otherwise.
Although it's considered normal in the west that a peck on the cheek is considered a greeting or in Sue's case a prank and it's no big deal, later evidence in the Omake shows that Sue generally doesn't follow that custom, so the intent behind that act may be a little bit deeper.
Personally though I'm in the Sue X Madarame camp and would like to see that ending.
