It's but natural to feel sad for the girls (or guys, though I doubt this) who doesn't end up with the guy they like, also because of the aforementioned reason. But so long as they tie all the loose ends, and allow us to see the characters develop in a positive way, then all's fine and dandy :) I applaud Kasai for making this show un-harem as it is, but at the same time empathize with the fans who were expecting a totally different adaptation. KimiKiss would've been fine being a standalone, even without the shadow of the KimiKiss game. In the end, this decision became a hype, which became both detrimental and beneficial to the series. I like Eriko in the game better~ hehe. Perhaps you'll do too, Owen. I'm still biased for Asuka, ever since I read her story arc in the manga, so Asuka FTW for me~ (even if she doesn't end up with Kazuki) :3 @Owen: I find all the KimiKiss characters endearing, despite their flaws, which is probably why I’m open to whatever couplings the show will have in the end.

I wouldn't say this was the best episode so far for me -- the episode with the Mao-Kouichi tension and the forehead kiss still wins, IMO, but I always prefer the journey to the destination more than the destination in any case. It was great seeing all the relationships finally bearing fruit and coming together in a volatile mix. This is a first in that I've never really been equally divided in terms of which girl (or guy, if it's shoujo, but that one's rather rare) a protagonist should go after, but kimikiss has done a great job in making the ordinary seem extraordinary, and this one is no exception. I would be happy regardless of who ends up with who in the end, yet paradoxically sad to see that the other person wasn't chosen. I think kimikiss has shown that the harem genre still has some life left in it yet -- aside from how typically un-harem this show has been, it's also proven that you can have numerous girls and still have character development that's far from two-dimensional. Also, while Asuka seems like a better choice for Kazuki, my prolonged exposure to Key has made me biased towards eccentric silent girls, so Eriko FTW! (whoa, commenting finally works!)

Oh well, that's quite a crazy idea of mine anyways XD @Mike: lol. It turned out to be more humorous than I expected? :p @kazumaXX: we’re still not sure if Hiiragi isn’t the fiance, because Mitsuki has yet to see his fiance as well.

But i believe there is a possiblity that Mitsuki will warm up to Hiiragi and maybe even break off the engagment she has with an unknown boy. As for Eriko and Kazuki, i do not believe ( i hope not as well) that he will turn to Asuka.. i like Eriko, we are the same in so many ways lol. Bad taste is one of them :)) And that kiss from last episode was so sweet as she shows him she has true feelings for him. :P well i don’t think that Hiiragi is Mitsuki’s fiance, because she hasn’t see him just yet.
