I know Uraka isn't everyone's favorite, but her and Nariyuki have a long history, as this shows. It may be why he stood up for her when some other boys were dissing her back in Jr. Hi. because of this untold tale. I mean, he was going through some heavy shit already, with his dad dying. Most of you can't relate, but I can: we lost Dad when I was 13, nearly 50 years ago. We don't see her thoughts here, as we're only looking at Nariyuki's memories of that day, but you can bet she knew about the loss of his father, and wanted to make a classmate feel better. Somewhere, she'd seen him smile, but with the death of his father, it looks like she made it her mission in life to help him through it. Just a friend, but with him standing up for her against other boys, and defending her to help her get through school because she worked so hard on her swimming, she fell for him like a ton of bricks. They make the best pair as each was there for the other for no other reason than to help. I wonder what he'll imagine his dad will say about this. You know that is coming.

The others? [ul]
Sensei? No. They'll respect each other throughout their lives, as friends and colleagues.
Senpei? She's flirted too much, and, IMHO, has gone too far. She'll likely end up marrying an idealistic doctor that she meets in med school: one willing to help her with the clinic.
Ogata? Nariyuki taught her to look at her feelings. Life isn't a mathematical formula, and people have feelings and need to understand them.
Furihashi? possibly the one person that is similar and yet the opposite of Nariyuki. Nariyuki got her and her father to finally connect by connecting Furihashi with her mother and the memories of her. If he doesn't reciprocate with Uraka, then Furihashi would be the best of the harem[/ul]
 
Man you guys have some shit taste. Uruka is top-tier, none of the others come close.
 
Seems like the author has decided to have Uruka as best girl and he's explaining why, of course she's also the first girl too. Totally the norm!
 
Wouldn't it be wild if after the author gave all this last-minute backstory, only for Uruka to still lose in the end?

Could you imagine the salt mines from Uruka stans?
 
I've loved Uruka since the start, and hope she gets her man. I love sensei, too, but I don't think Tsutsui has the guts to go that route, especially with her reaction to those feelings the last chapter.
 
F U M I N O end pls.
Anime already had Uruka, have the actual subjective best girl win
 
I don't know if Uruka will win in the end.... but i pretty assured that at one point Nariyuki will decided that he should let Uruka go since he didn't want to held her future for his own 'selfishness'.

Usually this will continued with something in 'Nariyuki is my future' blah blah blah but at this point anything can still go.
 
@Bufuman
yeah ethically she's not the one, but.. A man can dream!!! (≧∇≦)/
( like.... he can wait till (☞゚ヮ゚)☞ he graduated? ☜(゚ヮ゚☜) )

@zozilin
yeah I totally agree with you,
even though there a "hint" but... that's not enough!!!! щ(゚Д゚щ) "show" me the "story"
(but... if this flashback is the way the author show the story... for me... that's too late~)
