Do you people listen to yourselves? The artist and writer are appealing to the fans at every turn and you pessimistic losers still think that a het ending is even a remote possibility. Calm down. There is not a single visible pathway that leads to a het ending, and the only way there could be one is if she basically abandoned all of her gay friends for some guy who shows up at the last minute. That would be one of the worst manga endings of all time. The fact that you even think that it's possible worries me. Do people seriously need to feel so antagonized in their own community that they have to look for problems where there are none?
