Oh god .. I want them to be together !! I feel like they can support each other in the future since both of them are kinda mature but also immature at some point . Hina is childish but she is emotionally mature , while Rei on the other hand is such a logical person but he lacks common sense at some time

I can imagine future seasons to develop their relationship.

By Takahashi leaving the setting, she might look for a different love interest and develops feelings for Rei.
Rei being Rei probably won't act on his own any time soon and I think even if she proposes to Rei, at first he will neglect her because he is scared of harming her in any kind of form and doesn't want to split their family.
The only other possible ship we have would be ReixAkira, which at the point is highly unlikely due to her motherly personality and probably still viewing Rei as a kid.

tldr: At this point no, Hina is 14? at this point and Rei is 18, Hina is still a child with childlike thoughts while Rei was always depicted as fairly adult, so I'd like them to wait a few years to make it less weird for the viewers.

I think that the anime's fine without the romance. Just because Rei and Hina are the closest relationship doesn't mean they need to fall in love with each other.

The age things is weird because isn't rei behind in school? Like she's 14 and I can get maybe him thinking that he likes her but moving past it, because trauma bonding. It's honestly kind of odd with all do the possible love interets- 😩

lol i understand why people think it's weird. Hina is 14 and still too innocent. BUTTTT when you love someone you don't have to mate with them like animals lul. Kiriyama loves hina but not in a lustful way. He truly hopes the best for her, protects her and cares for her. Man Rei's love is innocent too, don't make it weird mentioning the (not even large) age gap just because Hina is 14. I don't think he even thinks of kissing Hina yet, since he's already so happy just by being around Hina. Eventually, they will grow up and their feelings will mature.
And yes their relationship is canon in the manga :x. I'm happy for Rei and Hina, just hope that Chica sensei not gonna troll us. This ship is one of the best ones in the seinen category.

Damn, you guys must stop pushing your desire against every animes genre to had a romance plot, sighed. This masterpiece shall be better with drama and Shogi only. At the end, its okay to adding Rei conclusion about his lover. But not good for their main story progression. Enough with relationship fetish and desire toward Hina, Akari, or even Kyokou. Let Rei finished his school and Shogi career and talk about his relation far at the end. Please be like that, and i will enjoy this series more (PS, i dont read Manga, i prefer to be the anime only watcher instead)

I can’t be the only one that feels “disgusted” with the age difference can I? However, I only feel this way because Rei is 18 and Hina is only entering HS. (probably 13?) the main reason I strongly disagree with this pairing is because of the difference in maturity between the two ages they are currently at, by this I mean being at the age of 13 you have a completely different “mindset” compared to when you are 18. If anything at all I would rather see this ship set sail when Hina is in her 20’s because in all honesty a relationship between a 13 and 18 y/o is extremely distasteful. Also seeing as Hina isn’t at a mature age if this story were to be more realistic the relationship between the two (should there be one) wouldn’t last simply because Hina is too immature for a long term relationship.

Like you said “Hina is 14 and still too innocent” seeing as she is 14 would that not imply that Hina is not yet old enough to truly understand/comprehend the concept of love? And yes that age gap isn’t that large however the difference in maturity is, Hina is still a lot more immature than Rei, in fact right now I would rather see Rei with Akari or even Kyouko(not really) because I’m terms of maturity they are closer. (Sorry for this sloppy reply I’m currently half asleep)

For me a human to human relationship is more genuine than men x women. Adding romance in this relationship proved it again that every thing in this world revolves around sex. Like he wouldn’t care for her if she wasn’t a cute girl near his age. The author also changed Akiri’s personality . In season one she took a young unknown boy to her house, used to pick up stray cats etc. now she doesn't want her sister to be in trouble and run away.

Before Season 3, I saw them as great siblings more than lovers. BUT, provided that I had known beforehand what had happened so far in the manga(despite me being an anime-only guy), and also the fact that their moments together warm my heart more than any other things, I guess I have no reason to refuse accepting them as a couple.

BUT the main reason I love them as a couple is due to my ANTICIPATION on the story author. The author DID A REALLY GREAT JOB in using the BEST, SMOOTHEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL plot to develop the relationship between Hina and Rei. Before watching Season 2, I still can't believe how the plot(up until Season 1) is going to turn the relationship between Hina and Rei into the next level(with reasonableness of course). After finishing the Season 2 Bully Arc, I was REALLY & TRULY fascinated by how the author made their relationship into the next level using such a really NEARLY PERFECT plot.

So what my true anticipation is to see how at this point(before Season 3) will the author write the BEST PLOT that will make "Hina and Rei become a couple" a very reasonable and BEAUTIFUL thing, by continuing from the plot of Season 2(starting when Hina cut her hair short).
Real life is boring, so I immerse myself deep into the virtual fantasies of animes...

As for me, I wish the plot would have stayed aromantic because it was so much better. Hina is way too young for rei and him falling for her is really weird. I dont ship him with anyone, the girls seem more like siblings and although he appears to harbor feelings for his step-sis, that relationship is toxic af. I actually thought that the scene where stepsis contemplates which of the sisters he might be interested in was a good way of telling the audience he wasn't supposed to end up with any of them. I am saddened that this doesnt appear to be the direction the mangaka went.

Well it's subjective.
I just want ask why is it that people ship Rei and Kyouka? I've been in toxic relationships I've been adjacent to toxic relationships all that comes from them is pain and a bitter lesson on how to see a toxic relationship from a mile away. neither of them are healthy and for a relationship
to work at least one has to be emotionally stable. Honestly even Rei can see kyouka is no good for him. So to me it makes no sense to ship them.


There is no character named Kyouka in Sangatsu no Lion. If you are referring to Kyouko Then I think you haven't watched the show properly.
Let me Get to the point. Rei X Hina is so uninteresting. I honestly dont think that the story will get better. On the Other Hand think of Rei X Kyouko. Yes she is Rei's step-sister and is not mentally stable.She was rude when she was a kid but now she is better.She stays at Rei's Home from time to time. Rei is good at taking care of others.With these few points The author can take the story in any direction she wants. For example Rei X Hina is so simple,cliched and easy to progress but Rei X Kyouko/Akari is more interesting,Different and more engaging to the viewers. But I dont think the author will take a risky route like Rei X Kyouko/Akari as the world is filled with simpletons .

Sorry, but i disagree. they relationship is more like a sibling rather than a couple, from the development and the story it is very clear that author make it as more like a "shinyuu" or a family.

Instead, i prefer rei becomes a couple with her step sister kyouko.

update.
i havent read the manga, but yeah i still prefer rei x kyouko

The dynamic between those two was by far the best thing about the show. But the obvious romantic tension between Rei and Kyouko was interesting too. I'd like to see both of those plot threads explored further and less of the old men and their gastric problems.

it is not like i won't support it if it becomes cannon but currently their relationship isn't fully decided, it can go both in the romantic side and the sibling side. i won't mind either, i'm leaving everything up to the author.

also kyouko x rei is also interesting but their reltionship would probably be toxic af. out of all the women, hina x rei is the most probable. i mean he already loved her (i think).

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
