in recent chapters it looks a lot more like yokoi is starting to not only focus on what crazyness is doing seki, but on him too, and i don't know i would like to them to at least talk some time xD (well it's more like, seki must talk some time!!)

[Purple Library Guy]

I gotta say, if this has all been one hugemongous ploy to get her attention, it sure worked.

Yeah, she is starting to focus on him.  In ch. 30, she liiiked him in the glasses.  See that blush?

I honestly like the fact that Seki barely speaks and all the events are narrated solely from Yokoi's standpoint. It's one of the things that makes Tonari no Seki-kun unique and interesting. I doubt that, if we knew more about Seki than Yokoi's thoughts and observations, he would be such an interesting character. As they say, it's all about the mystery.

 

I agree about the story progressing to a point she started to develop feelings for Seki, but I see no reason to trash a great narrative style just because of that. I'd personally only forgive that in the very last chapter as a wrap-up.

Yeah, I'd like to see something like that in the last chapter or in the last omake.

Pure love, man

certainly part of the magic of the series is that the story is talked from other points of view (Yokoi or her friend, or maybe other characters on ocasions) but never Seki, because that way as you said, it's the mistery ... but I would like that maybe in one point they could be a couple but in that way they could mantain this form (being Yokoi the narrator) and Seki just reacting as always.

[Fronzel]

It's silly, but I have to admit that I think they'd make a cute couple. This undermines chapters with Gotou though because her impression that they're dating is supposed to be comically misinformed.

 

It kind of reminds me of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya where Kyon first got involved with Haruhi's weirdness by figuring out the game she was playing with her hair, and later an obvious attraction between the two develops.

[Railgun]

it's pretty interesting that seki actually bothered making yokoi a driver's license (with the <3 symbol beside the name).

 

it makes me squee.

[plum_grass]

Wow, i did not notice the <3. xDD

I want Yokoi and Seki to end up together at the end too! But I agree, only at the end! With Yokoi's imagination, she and Seki oddly suit each other very well, I think (＾－＾）/~~~

Speaking of which, I would love to see more chapters of the two outside of school xDD

[Liar]

This really seems like the kind of series that the two would only hook-up at the end. Hell, this entire story could all be Yokoi telling her child how she fell in love with Seki.

it would be awesome that kind of end and with her child being a little yokoi acting like seki, ignoring her and playing with something while she talks jajaja

"How I Met Your Father"

I do enjoy their chemistry together and they'd definitely make a nice if not interesting couple, but I feel that it wouldn't fit the genre itself, seeing as it's more of a gag/comedy manga, not romance-y type stuff. They could get together in the end of the series, but right now I am perfectly fine with the small subtle hints at their love for each other. 

That doesn't mean I don't enjoy this pair though; I want them to kiss as much as the next person if not more :^)))

And about the whole Seki talking thing, I prefer him not to speak until the last chapter. The manga focuses more on yokoi and the comedy p much depends on her reactions (or gotou's) to move the way it moves. But the anime is a different story! I really hope he says maybe one word in an episode in place of all the tiny grunts or noises he makes somewhere in the anime. A girl can dream,,,,

What chapter was this?

[Yokohama]

What chapter was this?

 

I ended up looking for it too after seeing that. It's chapter 37 (page 12).

 

edit: now that I'm looking at it, I think it was a blank license and the heart+picture was in Yokoi's imagination. easily mistakable though.

[ansem1313]

Yokoi will come to realize her life is interesting with Seki in it ;>

[figureLP09]

The last chapter will be the only chapter when Seki opens his mouth to Yokoi, and he'll say, with a relaxed face: "Wanna hang out?"

Hell, his mother approved of her.

 

Also, the whole point of series is

and I don't see her interested in just games themselves. She's a girl, after all.

[cestalia]

Well, this is comedy. So the fact that Yoko think of Seki as a nuisance is understable.

BUUUUUUT, I really want to see they end up together. Just look at their chemistry and relationship development.

I think it is possible they become a couple.

Sister in law and mother in law approve. Now we just need Seki's dad seal of approvement :v

 

And we still have Gotou's imagination XD

[IlikeLolis]

I dont really see this turning into a romantic relationship unless the final chapter has Yokoi grabbing Seki's hand and asking him to play with her.

 

Though I'm all aboard for shipping, its a gag manga. So don't expect too much until the ending.
