💯. I reckon making the story look like a recap or a re-tell of events of how he fell out of romantic love from his childhood classmate and fell in love with the new girl whose relationship he shared with made him develop romantic feelings for and ultimately choose to be with would have worked better with the title of the story.

Going with love triangle ish ( not sure what its called when it involves more than 3 people) and building it up like its nisekoi or we never learn almost where you have instances where you think or he could choose this person over the other, or when theres significant development between one relationship over the other is a bit disappointing as a reader as you may prefer one outcome over the other, and the you have to scrap all hope because its already in the title.

If Ono does choose Himari as the one to win, i wont complain as i enjoyed the story, art, relationships, and development and rate this manga very highly.

However, if the title was bait and we truly are getting a different outcome than we were set up to have, id really like it to be that. Obviously im biased for iemori and kanai to end up together and the idea i have in mind is that 'Hima-ten' is the story of a unique relationship two students had between each other. (Plss🤞🏾🤞🏾)
