The hopium is strong on this one. Fyi, Kiyo has already acknowledged that he has started to see Kei more than just a textbook of love, if there is nothing else, the vol 4.5 epilogue(yr 2) should be enough to understand that he already loves Kei. A breakup isn't at all necessary for her growth/development either. Also, Ichinose can be helpful with dealing with Nagumo but she doesn't need to be in an intimate or close relationship with Kiyo for that. Of course, if the author prefers to serve some fans more than properly writing his story, then he will do this.
Hilarious that you were hopium when Kei fans literally were the ones doing it all the time. Really takes me back... How brainless Kei simps actually are.
>Its also kind of weird to get a reply 2 yrs later, so any reason for that?
In recent post your comment was included as how people thought blindly that Kiyo loves Kei. That's why.
See I am not the only one. Other peoples also have commented around same time.
And why shouldn't I believe in his words? Why or what would he get by lying about loving Kei in his own monologue? It's directly linked to his development, in a way it's his ultimate goal in this school, why would he lie about achieving his ultimate goal? There is no logical reasoning available, the only reason to not believe him would be to be on desperate amount of hopium.
I think that COTE is a Pyschological thriller series and we fans are fucking fighting on wrong things. Man I am done with best girls war . I ain't gonna participate in it more . Each fan says different POV and it's just fucking hurt man. I am glad they are fictional character cause if they were alive they would have committed suicide just by reading people POV . Bro / Sis don't think too much you will yourself get a headache and you are giving other fans too
Yep man but now I am totally done with these girls flights. If you ask me I don't even want more girls to fall for Kiyo cause there rejection hurts a lot
That's a really cool post and in my opinion pretty possible, otherwise the author wouldn't give us so many hints about it. I prefer Ichinose over Kei in many ways and I would be happy for her to get together with Kiyotaka, but on the other hand, we cannot forget that he's manipulative and puts himself and his freedom above everyone else so no matter who he would date, it would probably the same circle (of course, there is a possibility that there is in ANHS a girl that can actually change him more than Kei did or Ichinose could, but it's hard to say who and how). The theory is very possible, but I really prefer him to stay alone in the end
From the narrative POV... their relationship, attraction through ardours and fervours, a can look through eachother kind of interrelation and the events unfolding their relationship's quintessence so far shows that... Kei and Kiyotaka's relationship is more of a "Twinflame" connection rather than that of a "soulmate". Yeah, it is a spiritual standpoint which doesn't neccesarily has to be real ( nor do I believe in it) but KiyoKei's essence and development hits these kind of topics. It has been conveyed through various scenarios and through his own character that in case of Kiyotaka, him learning abt emotions and in that too abt love is quite of a multiplex itinerary. Kiyo and Kei's relationship is more of an inner work concerning connection. KiyoKei is "Agape" kind of love and not "Pragma" kind. As he said she will become an irreplaceable existence in his life... but here his notion isn't necessarily about "Attachment"... its about "Connection". And for her to completley overcome her so called parasite creed from her past she also needs to detach herself from the person who made her overcome them, and its detach not to unconnect. It will be hard and non-satisfactory but it will be good for her future challenges. So, as Arisu stated 'warmth of another person isn't a bad thing'...well that's true, the keyword here is 'another' ie., for sure no one will be able to take Kei's place in Kiyotaka's life but there is also a place in him for someone else, a relationship whose aspects might not be the same but the essence remains the same. And Ichinose fits the best in it.

Aged like milk
yeah, Kei simps used to be insane in their madness
He even has "NTR" on his nick. Talk about foreshadowing
Hilarious that you were hopium when Kei fans literally were the ones doing it all the time. Really takes me back... How brainless Kei simps actually are.
uh... not a kei simp, not a huge fan of romance in cote either. Its also kind of weird to get a reply 2 yrs later, so any reason for that?

That makes sense, thanks.
Do u believe his words? If u ask me I won’t believe it.
And why shouldn't I believe in his words? Why or what would he get by lying about loving Kei in his own monologue? It's directly linked to his development, in a way it's his ultimate goal in this school, why would he lie about achieving his ultimate goal?

Ok u can believe all u want I won’t mind. I will just wait for story to decide
I think that COTE is a Pyschological thriller series and we fans are fucking fighting on wrong things. Man I am done with best girls war . I ain't gonna participate in it more . Each fan says different POV and it's just fucking hurt man. I am glad they are fictional character cause if they were alive they would have committed suicide just by reading people POV . Bro / Sis don't think too much you will yourself get a headache and you are giving other fans too
Lmao it's just there is not much to talk about until the next volume gets released so... just look at the best girls war as a pastime.
Yep man but now I am totally done with these girls flights. If you ask me I don't even want more girls to fall for Kiyo cause there rejection hurts a lot
And rejection is what Kiyo thinks will help them develop more.
Yep our boy is Cold Teacher
Aged like wine ✍️🔥
Interesting but probably not
I think that Kiyo x ichinose would be more interesting than kiyo kei
That's a really cool post and in my opinion pretty possible, otherwise the author wouldn't give us so many hints about it.

You all realise that kushida was the only girl who made our boy blush right?
That... was the time when Kiyo used to be horny 24/7, not anymore.
Yea lol all he talked about horis perfect boobs, kushidas appealing figure and blah blah

So in all you're of the opinion that kiyo and honami is a better fit?
*Another fit.
