I don't care what story plot the author has to use. Hisame passes, Kiki changes her mind, I don't care what.... JUST GET KIKI AND MITSUHIDE BACK TOGETHER!!! I'm sorry, but Mitsuhide's reasoning for turning Kiki down was the most contrived and plot forced idea ever. I have loved the entirety of this series to date, both the anime and the manga, and that decision is the single stupidest choice the author has made. I don't care what grave the author has to dig themself out of, Kiki and Mitsuhide belong together, and fucking everyone knows it!
