Kiss Him Not Me Who Does She End Up With

Okay, buckle up anime lovers, because we're diving headfirst into the chaotic world of Kiss Him, Not Me!. Let's be real, this show is all about a girl, Kae Serinuma, who loses weight after being heartbroken over the death of her favorite anime character and suddenly becomes super popular. And then what? Four gorgeous guys (and one equally gorgeous girl) all vie for her attention. It's the ultimate reverse harem dream...or is it a total comedic disaster?

So, the burning question: Who does she choose? Does she go for the stoic and dependable Hayato Shinomiya? Or maybe the sporty and energetic Asuma Mutsumi? Perhaps the mischievous and teasing Yusuke Igarashi sweeps her off her feet. And let's not forget the sweet and initially shy, but later confident, Kazuma Nanashima!

The Contenders: A Quick Rundown

Let's break down the appeal of each guy, shall we? Think of Shinomiya as your reliable best friend who's secretly head-over-heels, like that guy who always offers you his jacket when you're cold.

Mutsumi is the gentle giant, the calming presence, like that friend who always knows how to make you laugh, even when you're having a meltdown.

Igarashi is the golden retriever of the group, full of energy and always ready for a good time. He's like that friend who convinces you to go out even when you really just want to stay in and binge-watch Netflix.

And then there's Nanashima, the bad boy with a heart of gold. He's like that friend who always has your back, even if he teases you relentlessly.

Oh, and we can't forget Shima Nishina, the talented and beautiful artist! She is like that super-cool friend who introduces you to amazing music and art that you never knew existed.

The Plot Thickens (and Gets Hilariously Complicated)

The beauty of Kiss Him, Not Me! is that it plays with all the classic romance tropes. We've got rivals, misunderstandings, awkward moments, and enough blushing to power a small city. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, but mostly, it's hilarious. It’s like watching a friend navigate the dating scene with a blindfold on – you want to help, but you also can't stop laughing.

So, Who Wins the Prize?

Alright, alright, I know what you're really here for. You want the spoiler, right? Well, here's the thing: In the end, Kae Serinuma chooses… herself!

Yes, that's right. Our girl prioritizes her love for anime and manga over romance. She realizes that what truly makes her happy is indulging in her hobbies and being true to herself.

It's a refreshingly unconventional ending, isn't it? It's like realizing that the best relationship you can have is with yourself. And you know what? That’s totally okay! The show hilariously celebrates her love of fictional characters and fandom, making it seem like the most relatable and awesome thing in the world.

Think of it this way: she's basically saying, "I love you guys, but I love 2D characters more!" And who can blame her? We've all been there, haven't we? Haven’t we? Come on...

The Real Takeaway

So, while Kae doesn't end up with any of the guys (or girl!) in a romantic sense, the show emphasizes the importance of friendship and self-acceptance. The guys remain her friends, supporting her and sharing her passions.

The ending isn't about losing, it’s about winning at being yourself. So, let’s all raise a glass (of Ramune, perhaps?) to Kae Serinuma, the queen of otaku romance, and her decision to choose herself. After all, isn't that the best love story of all?

Go watch Kiss Him, Not Me!. You won't regret it!
