Am I the only one who is sadder about her losing her powers? That's a pretty cool power that has a lot of untapped potential.

I think it is more like a curse that can affect her everyday life in horrible ways and condition her to see relationships with a narrow field of view. Too much responsibility for a teenage girl honestly

Any good power requires training. She needs to sit down and start taking notes and analyzing what the shapes/color intensity/number/etc means regarding the love that a given person has. Once you get all figure out you can start blackmailing and manipulating people into doing your bidding.

Whoa. Slow down there Diablo

This is gonna be a poly ending 10000%.
Also I got the feeling that her powers make her sick. She didn’t fell ill and the arrows where disappearing.

->Poly because can't bear to have characters with a sad ending.

K whatever is good to make people think it's good ending. I guess there is not a lot of poly stuff so people take whatever stuff they can. Still have my hopes they can solve it without going the poly route but i shouldn't expect much.

I don't get it. Why bother making her ability disappear at all? What value does that add to the narrative? Considering it's the only really unique aspect of the story (which is printed in three colours just to support that aspect!), I don't see why the author would make overtures of removing it.

to demonstrate that she's actually falling in love? the story doesn't have to continue after her powers disappear

Alternatively, it could be that she doesn't lose her power completely, but she only stops seeing the arrows of people she's in love with, rather than all arrows. IIRC someone else already argued that on the previous chapter, but I'm only noting that because I concur with that interpretation until proven otherwise.

OH NO another poly ending what a fucking disater!!!! /s

Fucking for real man, the story so far has hinted at it so fucking much. Not having poly ending for this WILL be bad writing.

I know some of you guys don't like poly ending, and it's admittedly not my favorite either (cuz it feel like the easy way out), but the author has clearly gave hints about it before. Calling it bad writing is dumb.

You know what is bad writing? The love triangle in Koi to Uso where the author clearly don't know what the fuck they're doing so they have TWO endings, one for each girl, to placate the fans. Now that's shitty writing.

Which in itself it's kinda bad writing, if your readers already know how you gonna end it. Also Poly is something you handle with care, because it's too easy to throw a poly ending and call it a day but i feel like people forget that not a lot of peoples are really okay with sharing their loved one with someone else. See the Canno's poly manga,even if it was axed, at least you had a character with poly background. Here you don't, you have 2 girls with a massive crush on the same person and someone who never know love and suddendly you throw them in a poly endning like that ?
At the end of the day, if it go that way (cause it still possible that it don't go that way), it will still a slighlty bad writing to me.

Ooohhhh is it that as she falls in love, her arrow powers disappear? As she understands herself more, she doesn't need to understand others?

Anyway this is adorable. I want my poly ending tho~ =w=

I'm also so glad we get to see a childhood friend win. I'm not as much of a fan of it in a heterosexual context, and I can see why the destined childhood friend -> partner thing is subverted so often (thanks to an article I read a while back about the trope that I can dig up if anyone's interested)

I'd actually be very interested in reading that article. Still got it anywhere?

They would make the cutest throuple, I'm so happy for them.

Also, also! Sayo did it! She got the girl!!! I'm so happy for her. She's such a sweetheart, and given the arrows we've seen from her, she's been managing her strong desires very maturely.

I'm also so glad we get to see a childhood friend win. I'm not as much of a fan of it in a heterosexual context, and I can see why the destined childhood friend -> partner thing is subverted so often (thanks to an article I read a while back about the trope that I can dig up if anyone's interested) but when it's between women, and it's played straight (no pun intended lol) it hits different. One might think it's the fact that gay crushes on your childhood best friend are actually extremely rarely fulfilled for a variety of reasons despite how common that situation is, which could bring readers a sense of catharsis, but I don't even think that's what makes this so satisfying and compelling. I can't quite put my finger on it right now, but something tells me it's about how the story interacts with genre. Like, because the "childhood friend loses" thing is so solidified, seeing Sayo rise to overcome it not just because she's the one selected by chance to win a harem thing, but because she personally undergoes a great deal of development to unlock her inhibitions about being honest with her feelings, while the MC simultaneously grows to become someone who can accept those feelings, and they both find that being together in that new way really works for them--it's sort of like they're defying fate, and because it's written with verisimilitude we as readers can receive it as this very hopeful message, that, yeah, you can put in the work to maybe make things work out with that girl you like.

Lmao, I guess I did put my finger on it. But yeah, it's like, maybe because I spend so much time on the internet I see that "useless lesbian" thing over and over, to the point where sometimes it feels like most of the gay women are going "haha, this is just how it is"--there's this wider feeling that we can't get things to work out, that we can't get the girl, and so it's really cathartic to see Sayo break through that same kind of anti-predestination. Does anybody feel that, is that for real?

It also helps that she's adorable totally deserves to get what she wants and be happy. She's so kind. What a sweetheart.

Linter, I mean there is a predestination feeling of that's just the way it is you don't get the girl with lesbians. Especially if you're a fat one like me. So just because Sayo did it doesn't mean it'll happen for any of us sadly. Which you probably weren't saying that, but I am saying it bitterly. Most lesbians that I meet in real life and up just settling for hetero. I'm mostly just ranting to myself now. Very angst about it these days.

So it's cathartic to see it, but it is conversely painful.

Man I’m a little disappointed I don’t think we will be going to poly route with this latest chapter I was really excited for that route since we saw the teachers and stylist but with the new chapter I think it will be Mei and Sayo and although I like Sayo I like Rinna more but I also like the possibility of Rinna and Sayo Mei and Rinna is cute I will admit it in fact I like it a bit more than Mei and Sayo but my main pair is Sayo and Rinna but I’ve decided I’m going to stop reading this for a while and come back when there’s more chapter there is only two options either I will get disappointed again with a single duo route or I will be ecstatic with the poly route regardless if I understand these outcomes there’s less of a chance of being consumed by great sadness for not getting the route I like since I’ve already expected the outcome I least enjoy

Because she doesn’t really need that kind of power, in the first place the power was used as a catalyst for why she mistrusts love in the first place, her being overtly aware of people’s feeling towards others and especially towards her put her in a bad position since she doesn’t know what do in those situations nor does she actually know if it’s even right at all. And even if she did grow to up to use it properly, no one really needs that kind of power in their life because people shouldn’t need to rely on a crutch like that if they want to function as normal person, lest they become someone who is incapable of making decisions or pursuing relationships with people unless they find that reciprocation of their feelings are guaranteed.

And if speculation is right, and her powers disappear when she genuinely starts to fall in love with someone, it shows she’s grown in the right direction since she doesn’t rely on the arrows to continuing pursuing a relationship with others

It could prolong the love story/stories by providing more conflict. Like when she figures out why her powers disappear, maybe her fear of the unknown will make her turn away from her romantic prospects. She could question what matters more to her, the uncertainty of love or the comfort of her powers?

Plus, the translated title is "If you could see love" so it doesn't necessarily mean it ends when she loses her powers. We can also see how her love life functions without her powers. Will she be constantly questioning her partners feelings now that she can't see them? Especially since she knows how fickle feelings can be at times. Will she still be able to help her friends if she can't see their emotions for each other? Will she try to get her powers back?
