BEST. SENPAIS. EVER.

I love how it ended good for Ishigami. He really reminds me of Shouya from Koe no Katachi.

Damn yeah. I also got that Koe no Katachi's vibe when Ishigami started to see their faces.

But I do expected Ishigami to not win. After all, he's not athletic in the first place. Him winning would be like a shounen manga protagonist that suddenly got powered up from friendship.

And yeah, Kaguya is just best girl. She'd hold back for her dearest Kouhai.

Also Iino having some spotlight panels in this chapter feels like Aka is trying to set up their ship.... I hope Iino soon learn that Ishigami was the one who have been supporting her in the past.

Excellent chapter! I am so happy for Ishigami. And I never thought I would be so happy seeing that smile on that girl's face! Let her remain clueless because Ishigami wanted to protect that smile! :)

Kaguya was so adorable, the way she set up the transfer of that douche by telling the elites of Shuuchi'in. I guess, even amongst the elites, Shuuchi'in has some righteous people, which makes me feel much better. Didn't fail to notice that Nagisa is one of those elites! She is actually a very good girl and one of the few people who are painfully aware of Kaguya's constant struggles (that she is madly in love with her President).

Also, can I say I love Iino again?! The author is really putting some wind on my sail!

I wouldn't have been surprised at all since the author did the groundwork for it before this chapter. Nowhere it was ever mentioned that Ishigami is not athletic. Before his isolation from the rest of the world, he was actually one of the aces from track and field in middle school in case you missed that. He just almost pulled it off because his shackles were broken by Shirogane — the guy you'd want your daughter to marry but unfortunately that won't happen because he is already taken by Kaguya. ;)

Fireworks arc - End of Season 1

Ishigami arc - End of Season 2

Where is my goddamn anime adaptation??

Amazing arc, looks like that guy didn't end well once Kaguya told the serious business people what happened, and god I'm happy for that. Ishigami and friends are so awesome!

Rest in peach Edgygami. You finally have friends! Nice faces at the end there!

This Koyasu-senpai girl probably likes Ishigami. I ship it.

Now that this arc is over, I hope we'll see more of Hayasaka.

Too bad. I really wanted to see that girl's reaction once she finds out about the truth.

Really nice chapter. I wanted Ootomo to learn the truth but this is satisfactory. Ishigami protected that smile so let her stay ignorant.

True. Iino and Ishigami would make an awesome ship and it looks like Aka is slowly setting things up. We really do need another ship in this manga.

I wonder how Ishigami is going to behave from now on. If he's not going to be sulky then what sort of personality is he going to have? Should be interesting to see.

Such a happy concluison to this arc! So happy for you Ishigami! Iino getting a lot of spotlight like people said above might transit into something. Different Kaguya's face expressions, love how fast she can "change" and how even Hayasaka was scared =/
Wonder if this manga is coming to the finish line, obv i'm only in for more, but how much can Aka-sensei come up with?! Remember that abrupt bait ending, was it on april 1st ...

Decent chapter, liked how the problem was solved in a not very convenient way (sort of Ishigami losing the battle but won the war). The Koe no Katachi reference is also well handled. A new ship has finally set sail (hinted long ago but officially confirmed now). Still miss the daily "duel" between our 2 protagonists, lately they have been occupied with so many extra works.

This is such a great arc! I actually cried a little. But damn, that girl really is a dumbass. Ishigami had to work so hard for her? Wish Kaguya told her everything, I wanted to see her reaction too. I wish Ishigami after this would lighten up but still remain a very rational boy.

It makes sense Ishigami would have a more cynical outlook given everything that happened during middle school, but I'm glad there's a happy ending in this chapter. He realized that there have been good people around him all along and he can finally let himself live in the present instead of dwelling in the past. A very heartwarming conclusion to the arc!

The anime left out some parts, like showing Kaguya's interest in the case. Kaguya talking about Ogina and the school's mafia (including Kashiwagi). This is definitely the best arc so far

Yep!!!! This was where Ishigami started to look and move forward!!!! I remember how I, after seeing episode 11 of season 2, wrote a long forum, and it was probably the longest forum I'd written!!!!! After all, Ishigami's one of the best written characters I've seen in this manga!! I loved this chapter so very much!!!! Miyuki, nah more like the whole student council back then helped Ishigami!!!!! They were his first friends^^

This has hands down been the best part of the series so far. Ishigami is a fantastic character and I love seeing his whole backstory culminate in him wanting to move forward and see the good in people. It acts as a great reflection of Kaguya's own development as we saw in her talk with Shirogane's dad. I think Kaguya and Ishigami have a really great dynamic, and I like that it isn't super obvious.
