I will go with "Something bad is going to happen to ichika, Aria turns her to save her life and they live happily forever after" route,
I love this, but as a fan of tragic endings might I propose this alternative: Ichika manages to kill Al-Kamil with the sacred sword but is mortally wounded in the process. Aria is hesitant to save her because of the risk and, even if the vampirification is successful, Ichika would be cursed to live forever. Ichika instead decides to stab Aria so, instead of living cursed lives together eternally, they die in each other's arms and can spend a more peaceful eternity together
The comedy is too strong in this series to go with a tragic ending after all this.
Time for my annual re-read of this. I must say, I still want more of this story...I wanted to see more of them being all lovey dovey, however I'm not gonna complain too much since we got a good ending lol.
Imagine my surprise reading the missing - from here - chapters and discovering that it had such a wonderful ending I'd missed out on all these years! Thanks for the post.
Any chance to get them over here as well? Surely the series deserves to have it all here...
Life goes on, and even being in separate classes now can't keep them apart - quite the opposite, their love for each other is only getting stronger. ^_^
They've said it before that they haven't really bothered with any labels for their relationship, I guess they're finally thinking about them now - either to actually define what they have, or still just in a general sense.
Yeah I think it's more that its more gay but not horny gay which is different
That is almost certainly not the reason. You are talking about the difference between "yuri" (having horny/sexual content) and "shoujo ai" (pure stuff, not horny). The only problem is that this is a division entirely made up by the western fans. In Japan, "yuri" is used for both horny and non-horny works without any difference whatsoever (and "shoujo ai" in Japan refers to lolicon material, just for reference).
If a Japanese author does not want to use the yuri label, that decision has nothing to do with the levels of horniness in their work. The whole idea that there are separate terms for "horny" and "non horny" material within the same genre does not exist in Japan.
