But doesn't the first girls who partner with MC always have a high chance of breaking up actually right? I think it's weird when original author of this series pair Sorata and Mashiro so early this time because if their a true couple for this story doesn't their supposed to be pair up when story near the end.Even to make Aoyama not confessed to Sorata that time seems like the writer have a plan for Aoyama in the future.Maybe Sorata will be paired with Aoyama? If this happen i bet this series will get more interesting...hehehe

second to last volume came out recently and no hints of them breaking up and I don't see author suddenly changing his mind in last. It has a lot of Rita and Ryunoske though

I voted Shiina.

Aoyama grew on me a lot. But I'd be happy with either one of them. To be honest, I feel that Aoyama and Sorata have better chemistry together. But Sorata likes Shiina.. so ultimately it's his choice.

Friendzoning yourself is not giving good competition well i liked her the most out of the other characters excluding dragon but as a love rival she was weak.
The author was probably dumped by a girl with a Kansai dialect it that's why he hate her D;

Shiina, and it's not even close. I usually love tsunderes, but Aoyama is a thoroughly irritating, pointless character who will likely become even worse as the story progresses, since she'll inevitably try her hardest to interfere with the main relationship. All of which is the reason she's the worst of the introduced characters by far.


Lol That is funny. I normally really dislike tsunderes but I actually like Aoyama.

I would be fine with either or but I sort of like Shiina more.

While I do like Shiinas archtype, she is just way too aloof. And what comes with the aloof package is a certain degree of cuteness but I didn't find her design cute enough to win me over. Also, she can't really do anything herself so no idea how Sorata can put up with it for long.

Aoyama, while not really a fan of tsunderes/kuuderes, was not too extreme. She also understood Sorata and had similar hardships and would fit the girlfriend slot much better than Shiina.

I like both of them of course but the way Aoyama keeps dodging her own confession is making her being paired with Sorata seem all the more "not happening" -.-'

This poll isn't fair to Aoyama since she hasn't had much development like Shiina and the others. Shiina and the others have had their characters developed since episode one while Aoyama has only really started to develop in episode 5. As we've seen from episodes 5 and 6, there's more to Aoyama than some tsudere bitch who yells at Sorata a lot.
Nanami had less time than shiina but she was the easiest character to understand. She would get my vote because she deserves a win.

That they just get along better I guess? Although I'd really want Sorata to go for Shiina, he seems to 'click' better with Aoyama.

I know the anime shows Shiina and Sorata as the main pair, but this question is asking us to consider both...

Define deserving. She was coward who couldn't express her feeling, it's her fault that she lost. Sorata confessed to Mashiro in 8th book that was out before anime started.

You are fucking joking. Series went to shit as episodes after 18 had barely any Mashiro. Define deserving.

Aoyoama fits in the girlfriend role more than shiina she share commont things with sorata.
Sorata was blushing like a girl in the bike scene. Meh what does it matter Nanami didn't put any effort to get with him and simply gave up anyway .

Even densest metal known to humanity Natsuru would blush in scene like this.
They are so beta together that if they were pair ground would collapsed in that place.
BTW bike scene was anime original stupid shit to stir inexistant love triangle. In LN she rode by taxi.

I actually like the fact that this anime didn't make the other girl some bitch who does anything to get the guy she liked. She got huge respect points from me when she just let things go when she realized Sorata liked Shinna.

You're wrong. At least for me it's totally otherwise. Because if she did confess and got rejected it would be game over. But exactly because she didn't do it, she can still go at her love, and act like she is not hurt by rejection. Like all here actions it appear good and altruistic at first glance, but in reality is quite cowardly.

Well, I like typing up pointless things to support the character I like, so, well, here goes!

I don't mind either of them. They're both okay characters, with interesting development and interesting relations with the main character.

If I had to decide who I liked more, if either was a real person, I would have probably preferred Shiina, since she's learning how to live in society, she's kind, she cares for her friends, she's 'beautiful and cute', she's talented, but still modest, and basically all around 'perfect'.

Which is why I don't prefer her as a character.

Does she have a single flaw?

Everything she says 'touches' one of the characters. They realize their way of thinking was wrong... and Shiina's was right. Shiina is never wrong, because she's pure, innocent and hardworking. Every trait that's negative, such as her dependency, tendency to have no common sense, and... what, exactly? I can't think of any. Anyway, these negative traits are all played up for laughs, cuteness, moeness, and to make her more attractive. There isn't a single trait about her that isn't made to make her more perfect. In her character development, every problem was a problem with a) her lack of common sense, or b) problems caused by people around her, or because of the people around her. When Sakurasou was announced to be demolished, you could say 'it's because of her', but it's not because of the choices she makes; it's the school's fault. She wants to leave because she's being a problem to others. She's worried and sad because she wants to make up with Sorata, but he's jealous of her.

She's so selfless and forgiving that it made me sick, how much of an idealized girl she was. (Also seen in how she can memorize tests ridiculously quickly, how she's good at gaming, and her ability to draw decent manga without a proper foundation in manga art.)

She's not retarded, stupid, or autistic. There's no problem with her at all, which is her problem, really.

(There's also the problem of 'a guy taking care of a dependent pretty girl' which irks me, since it comes off as pretty sexist, but that's another can of worms that I'm not touching.)

As for Aoyama, she's riddled with so many problems that I love her.

She's slightly self-absorbed. Her thoughts center on herself, on what she does, and on her successes, her wants, her dreams. That's who she is - a girl with a drive to improve herself, to further her ability and place in life. She believes that she needs to take responsibility, to be independent, to be strong to carry on - and she tries to do that, except she's just a high school girl; she cries and hates on the world when it's unfair to her, because she isn't actually that strong.

As for the 'taking over Mashiro Duty', are you seriously suggesting that a guy picking out a girl's panties is appropriate? It's not. No matter how cute it is, it is not appropriate. What Aoyama was doing wasn't 'taking care of Shiina' like a pet; she was trying to teach Shiina to be self sufficient. She wanted Shiina to be more independent, and I'm pretty sure that Aoyama was trying to help. Taking on too much responsibility on herself was her feeling that 'she can do more, why can't she do more?' and another mixture of 'why won't anyone trust me to do these things?' I admit, it wasn't a pretty scene for Aoyama, but it was so human - I've seen my friend do the same thing, actually.

I have mixed feelings on her crush on Sorata, I'll admit. It wasn't natural, and it was there for the rule of love triangles. It would've been much better if they were actually just friends, for once, and her feelings developed over the hardships and struggles she went through - and how Sorata tried to save her every time. Speaking of relationships - Shiina isn't very romantically compatible with Sorata. She's too dependent, and Sorata's too jealous of her. (Don't say he's over it; he isn't, not really.) It wouldn't be a healthy relationship, no matter how I see it. If Shiina learns to be self-sufficient, and Sorata more comfortable with his abilities, they could start dating, but until then...

As for Aoyama's redeeming traits, she's actually pretty lacking in those aspects, unfortunately, but, well, one: she's dedicated to her dream. Even though she's afraid, she's willing to try; and she tries to help people. She's independent to a certain extent, and she has a sense of responsibility (unlike a certain dandere who left a party in the middle of winter and worried everyone), and she lets people have their happiness. As long as it follows a certain extent of logic. Her character development comes in the form of letting go, of her to stop being so strict with herself; to let herself have fun,because she hasn't really had friend because of the rules she set herself.

Her kansai-ben is an additional plus since I love dialects. (...I can't get over Arata's dialect from Chihayafuru.) Her tsun-ness had nothing to do with why I liked her. (...her apologizing after she hit Sorata was brilliant, though!)

*Random note: I don't have anything against danderes! I loved Yuki from Haruhi Suzumiya (because of the film, I admit) but there's depth to her character. Her emotionless demeanor is portrayed as more 'creepy' than anything, at the start. Mashiro was just set up to be cute from the very beginning.

**Another random note: Ryuunosuke's romance with Rita was so forced and shallow that it was horrific to watch.

***Another... random note: I did have a good few paragraphs to write about how problems shouldn't be made for the relationship only; and how they should focus on the character as well... but that's off topic.

So. That ends my rambling. I'm not going to bother proofreading this, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. (...and yes, I joined to post this. I didn't accept the arguments in this thread for who was the better girl - from both sides. In the end, it was the character that was more interesting, rather than the one more attractive for me.)

TL;DR: Shiina is so perfect that I disliked her; Aoyama was a high school girl with problems, because that's how people are, and that's why I preferred her as a character.

(Answers to a certain post in this thread - yes, Aoyama is a coward. Isn't that more interesting than the flawless girl who's only flaw is that she needs someone to be a 'master' as she's a pet?)

EDIT: ...that is one long post. I'm so sorry.

Admittedly, I should have worded that better. "There isn't a single trait about her that isn't made to make her more attractive."

I meant 'perfect' in the sense of personality flaws, rather than just skills or knowledge. Shiina is a perfect little angel, and if she only learns common sense and how to take care of herself, she's pretty perfect.

EDIT: Although, thinking about it again, she does have one more flaw I can think of - she wants her daily needs to be spoon-fed to her, rather than trying to learn. Once again, this makes her dependent, which is to make her 'moe'. (I guess it has a hint of stubbornness and laziness, but since she works so hard on her manga, I can't really call her lazy.)

Aoyama without a doubt. Shiina is not even a complete person, she's just a moe blob. One step above an inflatable balloon with a face drawn on it, that's it.

Shiina has the personality of a 3 year old child. "I like draw..." "Me use panties? Why?" "Baumkuchen... Good..."
How can anyone short of a pedofile find that type of behaviour attractive?
