Thread: Chapter 217 Discussion (*Spoilers*)

Spoilers from aohige are out. Read the following at your own risk.

Harima gets arrogant, and tells Eri he's not interested in her.
Eri looks serious, and not overy emotional, and tells him he makes her sick.
"You think you're so manly, acting like that, don't you?"


Well, I hope there's more to it than that, since the spoiler guy says this seems to conclude the mess Harima, Yakumo, and Eri's relationship has made.

Omg... the spoiler thread is in total chaos with people quoting "die Jin die".

Stay tuned.

EDIT: more details.

After school
Harima recieves his manga from Tougou. The one that was ripped apart during the play was a fake one.
Tougou told Harima that he told Sawachika to burn the paper, but she refused.
Tougou says that Sawachika saved the manga for Harima.
Harima gets a message on his phone. Yakumo tells him Tenma is drawing the manga right now.
Harima makes another hasty misunderstanding.
Rinko (tonariko) asks Harima some question, Harima sees lots of girls coming in the same train he's on (he was accidnetly on a ladies-only train), and his misunderstandings gets worse.
(no idea what he means by that, perhaps he thinks he's becoming popular with girls?)

Harima decides to tell Sawachika he can't accept her feelings, because he wants to keep his feelings to Tenma

Yakumo is visiting Sara where she works.
Yakumo tells Sara what happened, but she looks relieved and over with it.

Anyways, Sawachika is meeting Harima.
Harima tells her "Let's end this. You know, no one's gonna get anything out of this.
It's for your sake. You're a pretty nice person, but because of that, I have to tell you!
I can't go looking for love elsewhere while being loved by someone else!
You know what I'm saying? It's a pain a man has to go through!
So, just give up."

I assume he says all this in corny acting style, thinking he's a pimp

Which leads to the previous part, where Sawachika ditches him.
Sawachika says he makes her sick, and that the reason why she didn't tear his manga is because it would be annoying if he was to blame it on her.
"Don't ever call me up again to tell me something stupid like this"

Harima realizes he was misunderstanding all along.
He looked shocked, and out of it, when Tenma arrives.
Tenma tells him she thinks she's got talent for manga artist while trying to draw his manga, and wanna go to the Jinmaga editorial to debut as manga artist herself. Typical Tenma goodness.

Next day, Harima is absent from school.
Takano "Do you know anything about it?"
Sawachika "Nope"
Sawachika (I wonder why I was so upset about till yesterday?)
Sawachika "Oh, I smell ume (japanese apricot)"

End.

Oh Dear...I have to read this NOW!!! Please Hurry Townsocks I must read this chapter ASAP!!

i can see why the spoiler thread is in total chaos

My face is going to melt when this is released. Like in the Indiana Jones movie where the Nazi's faces melt.

Well, that was a series of unexpected twists. This could easily lead to role reversal with Harima pursuing Eri... or it could lead to something else entirely that none of us expected.

I Agree
And probably we will see Eri avoiding contact with Harima because she doesn't want to hurt her friends. A good chapter indeed, but i want to see a translated version.

PD:Forgive my terrible English xP.

If Harima goes after Eri, I won't even think of continuing to read this manga - it's not that I hate Flag, but that would be completely out of character. He likes TENMA. He admits he'd rather go after TENMA. If he likes Eri just because she rejected him... >_>

Or maybe he's just absent from school because he's sick, or writing his manga or something. I'd expect something like that from SR.

No body wants Harima to just fall for Eri out of the blue, something should happen that is believable for him to have such a drastic change of heart. Otherwise everyone will be have a collective "WTF?!" moment.
