Eri's birthday

Wow, good idea. If she would recognize it she will think like "What the hell???" As i remember she said something about Harima not being the person who seems to be an artist. So at leats she would be very surprised. And not only. It will be a shock. Remember when they were talking about Harima Hario's manga she said she didn't really like it. And now it appears that it was Kenji's manga. What will she think about it now? And does Harima remember what she said back then? She really is stubborn and doesn't like to change her mind so it may be hard for her to accept Harima as an artist at this rate.

thats true, if anyone can see through the manga being about Harima and Tenma it would be her (its really pretty obvious)
her critique of his manga wasnt that big a deal, i dont think it will come back to haunt anyone but i think overall she would think better of Harima if she knew he was an artist as well, minus the whole Tenma in the manga thing

A HUGE minus. Very huge. I suppose it is hard to think of a worser thing. Really, how would Eri behave if she recognizes that Tenma,a is her enemy? Thats a mystery to me.

I guess that it would be a turning point of the whole series as it is.
IMO everyone would lose if that happened.Eri would spill her beans
about it and Tenma would find out Harimas feelings etc. Harima would
finally confess and be turned down cause Tenma loves Karasuma.

Even if he were to "go for plan B" like Yakumo or Eri they would not propably
be too happy of being the "chicken choice" and turn him down as well.

That would be the saddest possible ending.

I don't think it has to end there. It might be the beginning of a new arc. Harima looking for a new reason to continue his manga. Seeing that his love for Tenma will always be unrequited theres no point in fantasizing about it.

I'm leaning on the idea of him making a manga about the main character getting his heart broken and finding a new love. Lets just hope its our favorite Harima pair that it end up with.

Harima wouldn't just suddenly choose them out of desparation.
He's not that type of person. right?

Agreed with both of your statements _Vincent_. And probably this would go this way if he confesses to Tenma. Harima woun't suddenly turn to any of girls for sure. Besides even if this happens, only Eri will turn him down - becourse of her huge pride. Yakumo isn't like this she won't act as Eri. She will accept him in this case. Though I don't belive this will turn out like you said YuYo.

After Harima is rejected by Tenma we still have a long way to go. First of all he needs to fall for other girl. And since Harima is Harima it won't happen that fast. Maybe the thing that will help him is his manga (new one - _Vincent_'s version) which he would draw with...Yakumo? Or Eri (if she will be interested in approaching him this way)? And will teh girl who helps him have an advantage or not?

Nope, I can't agree, If Harima's confession will be rejected by Tenma, I think we will have only 3 to 5 more chapters telling about how he is depressed and how Eri and Yakumo notice that and want to support him. Both of them doesn't necessarily need to know the 'true' reason of his depression, and if they didn't know that - they wouldn't feel like 'chicken choice' (because everyone agrees with YoYo that both of those girl wouldn't wanted to be chosen as a reserve candidate).

Ultimately, one day Harima would tell Yakumo/Eri/Whoever you believe it will be/ what was the reason of his depression, but if they went steady, It wouldn't matter anymore.

It can happen either way. Now that Tenma's not in the picture even Anegasaki (the nurse) has a chance with him. But I really like that idea of yours.

YA KU MO! \(^o^)/

I'm in the Onigiri faction. ^^

Yeah, his "recovery" won't last long but i meant another thing: he will need to start loving one of the (even if it is Tae). He can't just say: "Oh, f*ck i got rejected (for five chapters)" then someone starts to support him "Oh yeah, she is the reall girl from my dreams" and then Can-i-be-the-model-for your-manga scenario. He is slow in this kind of things. Though he felt for Tenma in a blink of an eye, this time it is different (post-traumatic sindrome and all).

Indeed. If they will be deep enough it won't matter. At least becouse of Eri's or Yakumo's personalities

Maybe Tae why not. If she would support him really serious (not just teasing him as it is now). This would be the most unexpected endings i guess (from possible one's i mean - i don't count such as X Itoko in)

You said you tolerate my scenario writing, so I wanted to share with you my new idea. It was buging me how to solve the mystery with Eri getting to know about the manga.
Let's say, that at Eri's birthday party, Tenma will accidently tell Eri about Harima's manga, next they they Eri finds Harima working on some sheets of paper in coffe shop (probably that manga she heard about)
Eri : Hige, what are doing ??
Harima : O-Ojou !! ( Hiding everything really fast ) Why did you stalk me here ?!
E: Wha-- I didn't... say, was it just you're manga you were working at
H: tss, no reason to hide it now. Laugh at me if you want.
E: I will consider that idea, but only If you could let me see it...
H: No !! ( the hell I will let her see it, last time she called it stupid )
E: What's wrong with me seeing it, even Tenma knows about it and her sister too..
( Yakumo is actually there, observing quietly, we can see she is somehow sad seeing those to talking about Harima's manga )
H: They..they different. And even If I let see it, you wouldn't understand it :/
E: Fine ! ..but at least you can tell me what it is about
H: ( That annoying bit**) Fine, it's a love story, with some comedy adds
E: Love comedy ?? And what do you know about love hige ??
H: Probably more than you, throwing all those guys like a trash and using them for you're entertainment..
E: It's not like that and how dare you.. you actually don't know nothing about it and a person such insensitive, acting toward a girl like that surely knows nothing about love !!
H: Haa ?? Alright, you get !! I will amaze you with my new story for my manga !! ( Here should be description of Harima's manga, a love from no reason)
E: Stupid hige, people don't fall in love like that !!
H: What can YOU know about falling in love !!
E : LOTS !! If It was me who was writing a love story, it would be like this
(And that's how Eri and Harima ended up talking all day, exchanging they love theories and romantic dreams... but in the end, Eri had never seen Harima's manga, nor did she found out who was the main heroine...and at night Harima is seen to change the plot of his manga completly, thanks to Eri's advice..but he will never admit that :) )
