Kiss Him Not Me Manga Ending

Okay, let's talk Kiss Him, Not Me. You know, the manga where a girl loses weight and suddenly all the boys want her?

It's a classic reverse harem, right? Full of tropes and silly situations.

The Ending: A Divisive Topic

Now, the ending. Oh boy, the ending. It's... something.

Some people loved it. Others... not so much.

My Unpopular Opinion

Here's where I risk getting tomatoes thrown at me. I actually didn't hate the ending. Gasp!

Yes, I know. Kae ends up single, basically choosing her love for anime over romance. I KNOW.

But hear me out! Maybe it's not as terrible as some make it out to be.

Was it predictable? Maybe. Was it a cop-out? Perhaps.

But was it completely out of character for Kae? I don't think so.

Think about it. From the very beginning, Kae's biggest passion was always anime. And BL.

She fangirled harder than anyone I've ever seen! The boys were, in a way, secondary.

They were cute, yes. Did she appreciate their attention? Probably. But did they truly understand her core being? Mmm, debatable.

Honestly, how many times did Kae misunderstand their advances because she was too busy imagining them as anime characters?

A lot. The answer is a lot.

So, when she basically said, "Thanks, but I'm going to go back to my fictional boyfriends," I wasn't entirely shocked.

It felt…authentic. To her, at least.

The Boys: Did They Deserve Better?

Now, let's talk about the boys. Poor Igarashi, Nanashima, Shinomiya, and Mutsumi.

They all poured their hearts out. They all went through significant character development.

Did they deserve to "win" Kae? Maybe. Probably.

But life isn't always fair, is it? And romance anime rarely are.

Plus, let's be real. They all benefited from the experience. They learned about themselves and grew as people.

And hey, they still had each other! Bromance for the win!

A Different Perspective

Maybe, just maybe, the ending of Kiss Him, Not Me isn't about Kae rejecting romance.

Maybe it's about her embracing her true self. Loving what she loves without apology.

And who knows? Maybe she'll find love later, with someone who shares her passions.

Or maybe she'll just stay single and watch anime forever. And honestly? That's perfectly okay too.

It's her life, her choice, and her fictional husbands.

So, while the ending might not be what everyone wanted, I think it's a valid one.

It's a reminder that it's okay to prioritize your passions and be true to yourself, even if it means going against the grain.

And that, my friends, is why I'm not entirely mad at the Kiss Him, Not Me ending. Don't hate me!

Okay, maybe hate me a little. But just a little!
