It's been a long and enjoyable ride. Glad it made it to the finish line this time.
Shashaki's latest tweet confirms that the main story is indeed over (for now), so it'll be interesting to see what's done with the setting and characters, if anything, moving forward. Personally, I think it was too popular for them to just drop it cold turkey, but I suppose we'll see in the coming days~
And thanks for uploading the last two, rpgman1. I hate doing uploads, but I wanted to crank this out ASAP so I could go get breakfast. I'm absolutely starving.
What you saaaaaaaay now~ What you both feeeeeeeeeel now~ What she knooooooooooows now~ Has got TO BE REAL! (hit the funky jam) What you confeeeeessed now~ What she acceeeeeeepts now~ Who she knows loooooves her now~ It's YOU FOR REAL!
Ya did it son, you won. Now hold on tight, as you take her on that cosmic joyride called; love. Mmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmm, feel that funk. Hold her, squeeze her, and never let her go.
What? I make like three comments to the tune of YMCA and I can't make one ode to a classic?
Beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better ending. Well done Otaku, you finally did it. This truly was a Story of an Otaku and Gyaru Falling in Love (shashaki).
It's time to Unveil the hype y'all been waiting for It's time to Bring an end to question of who will win? It's us. / I used to have bad feeling Premonition of falling short Now I have no fear Since we're here To fight it together / I believe We can fly up in the sky One day we may just Be able to touch down on a star Off the road we have to go The roadless path we shall proceed Until the end of our roles There's no turning back for us Cause we will never give up
Well, this character's story would have become a tragedy if she just rejected him and left forever after all that build up.
The guy finally realized/admitted that he knew of her feelings after all this time and that he was leading her on. Opening up about his own weakness let her see that she wasn't just his last choice, but rather the person he was honestly too shy to confess to the entire time. Making her feel that she was that important to him is what she truly needed.

I think it's a nice ending for a happy romance.
I think it would be possible for the story to resolve in a good way if he let her leave; it could play out like Otaku doesn't stop her because he's too shocked at how that played out and doesn't process that she left until she's gone. Then he'd go chase her down afterwards.
I think it'd be less thematically resonant since he just spent a fair bit of time processing his emotions, though.

There's still room for an epilogue. In particular, I want to see Himekawa's reaction when she finds out about this. Some sort of grudging "wow, a pathetic creature like you managed to do something right for once", perhaps. Or maybe some kind of snark on the theme of "tsk, you made sempai cry after all", but without the usual amount of venom...
She didn't put the effort in. hell, she barely even directly talked to him!
Well, with most events being decided by public vote, she had little chance. She had a late start, checked less boxes on the fetish list and only revealed to be a childhood friend at the end and only to the readers.
