So, without any spoilers, there are alone, Saki-chan and Madarame... All alone...
Kousaka-kun!! Not just that, he's in cute cosplay!
Wow, how Saki said about she knows Madarame liking her is... and Madarame confessed different thing. And Saki actually had feeling about hiding the fact that she know.
I ♥Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!!
Easily the best chapter of Nidaime, because, thankfully, Saki firmly rejected Madarame, so now he can move the fuck on, which he should have already done. I wasn't expecting to be particularly remorseful for his situation, since I thought he should have had the strength to move on from the love he selfishly harbored of his best friend's girlfriend a long time ago, but, surprisingly, this moment was handled quite well, allowing it to be both satisfying and touching at the same time.
Thankfully, there's now absolutely no chance (not that there really was any to begin with) for the incredibly awful Saki x Madarame pairing to ever form, which would have been extremely contrived and unnecessary, as said relationship would have ruined previous character development and needlessly broken up the terrific Saki x Kousaka relationship. So, all in all, this was a satisfying, long-awaited chapter that excellently delivered in a manner I wasn't fully expecting.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought Mada should've just thought (or said): well, let's get rid of Kousaka.
Yes, everything happened as it should and the author handled it well. The only problem is that this means that we won't have much more Saki in Nidaime, which is bad. Just by showing up the manga gets far better.
Also, the manga lacks a character like her. She was a normal person in a group of otaku. That was fundamental in the first generation. Now there's just tons of fujoshi and the only different one is Hato, and not different enough, because despite teh fact taht he's a guy, he acts just like a tsundere fujoshi. And he is closer to fit Kousaka's role (being an otaku that looks good) than Saki's.
If only there was, I don't know, a yuri fangirl or a relevant male character that created some sort of conflict with the girls. Maybe another guy that didn't look like an otaku but in a different way, like a tough guy iwth a strong personality...
So seems like hato is gonna have madarame. How hato had all the development char with madarame.
And this 2nd season is with fujoshi. kousaka might even come out of the closet and hato might go out with kousaka. and then madarame could have saki.
kousaka is so emotionless. I wonder if he ever gets angry.
Ever since sasahara didnt become the character i was expecting in the beginning I've taken a side with Madarame. Since we got the hints of saki and him that has been the main thing that has kept me interest in the story and now this chapter comes. Although madarama didnt go out of character and continue to be a coward by pointing out that thing with the nose hair, I still feel somewhat disappointing. I wanted him to man up properly for a moment. In terms of saki rejecting him, i know some ppl might think that that was what was supposed to happen but still...I HAD HOPE!!. Now that this part of the plot is over, I just dont know what might keep me from just rushing all this chapters left just to say that i read it. Sorry for the paragraph, its just that "sigh" i feel bad for madarame...
It finally happened and to be honest I am glad, Saki loves Kosaka and it broke my heart to see Madarame string himself along all this time having no chance,
Now that it is finally over maybe he will allow Angela to give him his happiness, after all the self loathing and sadness he deserves it.
Good on you Saki for shooting him down 100%, he needed it.
Finally, it happened. The confession is executed very well. Madarame is still being a wimp about it and it just so happens that Saki knows how to handle it. I'll just read Spotted Flower to live out my Mada x Saki fantasies.
This is the best chapter of Nidaime, no cap. I got overly emotional, two of my favourite characters finally bared up their feelings they had been keeping shut down for years.
Also I'm supporting Sasahara's sisters' thoughts on Hato, I really hate that guy, he's probably be at the top3 list of most hated characters list, if I make one
