Hm. The chapter of symbols. Well, it's absolutely clear what those dolls represent. So the pairing of those dolls is clear as well. But:
1) Tenma breaking Harima's head - does taht mean that Odou has no future?
2) Yakumo looking glad at the end: she is deffintely glad that Harima (as she thinks) didn't change his mind. But why is she glad: because he still loves Tenma or because he didn't love Sawachika?

1) No, that means there is lot's of work for Harima to make Tenma notice him
Iori took the head first - probably didn't like the idea of Yakumo self sacrifice
2) Because he still loves Tenma - it got obvious after reading Townsocks work

Quote Yakumo's phrases you are talking about please.

Nice one about Iori - so he is basically an Onigiri fan Since he wanted Yakumo to continue fighting.

About my second given variant "or because he don't love Eri": i meant that in this case Yakumo still have chances to get him. Since Tenma is not interested no matter what Harima does.

I'd say the latter. Note how she gets really defensive when the girls bring up the possibility of Flag.

Maybe we should put it like that - she is glad because, after all that time they haven't seen each other, nothing changed. Harima didn't changed, her sister didn't changed, Ojou got a little bolder - nothing else changed.
She was disturbed with a fact that everyone would change but she would be left alone...or something like that

About her defencive acts: She haven't said anything new compared to her previous behaviour when denying her relationships whith harima - just ordinary "No...it's not like".

But about her "Wait! It is true that Harima and Sawachika are going out?" i can't say that it is a defencive behaviour - I would say it's quite bold to her to say that - quite offencive and unusual.

It is the third variant. Though i think that she is worried only about Harima leaving her behind not Tenma. At least she must be sure that Tenma won't leave her no matter what. About Harima you are right, if he starts going out with Eri his contacts with Yakumo automatically die.

It's out on BitTorrent, grab it...NOW!!!

I have actually posted a link already. In Eri's birthday as always. http://www.stoptazmo.com/showpost.ph...97&postcount=1

Well that's actually ended all the fantasy theories about an Onigiri comeback....

Onigiri has reached a dead end and Yakumo will just support Odou as always.

No. It Yakumo's behaviour can still be interpreted in different ways, as the person who is interpreting, wishes.

I'm actually very much surprised. What made you post?! It has been sth like 2 months since your last visit. If you don't mind answering of course...

Well interpretations are a bit more restricted here. Yakumo is pretty clear here in her support to Odou.

First thing she put Harima's and Tenma's dolls together but that's not all. The importat thing is what Yakumo thought about Harima... she has an "ideal" Harima in her mind: an Harima who likes Tenma and doesn't change his heart anytime soon. She appreciates this side of his character ("a strong heart that won't sway")... but this is a VERY bad thing for Onigiri. Onigiri means that he will have to somehow change his heart which in Yakumo's opinion will make Harima "cheaper". Quite the problem for the faction.
And as little extra (that's more bent to interpreting) there is the bittersweet smile of Yakumo on page 8 when she answer Inaba's question. In that smile there is no will to fight for him: as little sister she will just support Tenma/Harima.

Onigiri is as always far behind in the competition, with Flag/Odou ahead. Yakumo never fought for Onigiri and this time she is retreating yet again in a support role.
