From my honest opinion, I think it is because Saeko understands Takashi as a person who has flaws, but has potential too. She always holds Takashi in high regards and sees herself as inferior to him. This is partially because of how she was raised and such, but I also think there is more to it like I said. If it is just by her upbringing, then she would be treating Kouta a similar fashion and I don't see it too much with him.

I think this is what differs from Rei. Rei is always...I want to say selfish in that even before the outbreak it was all about her. She wanted Takashi to understand, but she never tried to help him understand or even tell him why for that matter. He never even knew the whole Shidou thing before and Rei just wouldn't explain. I am not sure why. I think Takashi is really being abused emotionally by Rei simply because he wants so much from him with half the stuff he cannot do. Saeko on the other hand seems to see Takashi for who he is rather than what she supposedly wants him to be and looks to that. She knows he is this guy who has problems, but also knows he means well by what he does and that's what Rei gets wrong. Takashi wants to understand Rei and know who she is, but she won't let him. She is kind of a hypocrite. She won't let Takashi close to her, but expects him to jump through hoops for her without question. To which he does question.



Well, we never actually submitted it into anything, we just wrote it over a weekend when were bored. If you want to read it, I can send it to you.


Agreed on that no wonder Rei gets bash constantly, she's the kind of heroine everyone will hate. Not like Sakura that she has proven she understands and loves Naruto for who he is. On another note I would like to read that story you can send it to my email since you already know it.

I'd prefer SaekoXTakashi, but I believe that's just me projecting myself on Takashi. To me, it seems that ReiXTakashi is more likely because it reminds them of better times. It's a safe place they can keep that hasn't been destroyed by the arrival of "them". In times of chaos people like to find security in positive consistent things. And though Rei is clearly interested in Takashi primarily because of this and being on the rebound, that doesn't mean Takashi will move on either.

And though it can be interpreted differently as Bushijima just being confident, there are times when Saeko teases the couple in a big sister way and not as a rival. Which can also lead Takashi (and readers) to believe she's not serious about him. Yes she is interested in Takashi, but that can also simply be interpreted as a game. Takashi doesn't have a history with Saeko, and that's the only edge I believe Rei will need to keep him on a string.

I'm sorry, I don't see that. Funny enough, I actually see Saeko being more big sisterly to Saya than Rei as she's always teasing her. Big sisterly I see is if she was teasing Rei about being with Takashi and she doesn't. She actually acts like a rival on the more serious moments where she doesn't say anything. Especially with the panel I posted. There might be playful teasing rivalry between the two, but I don't see the big sisterly tone.

Mind showing me what you think is the big sister tone? I am having a hard time trying to see what your thinking is going.

Rei's history is sort of bad history and sometimes having bad history is worse than having no history. Rei being especially kitteny towards Takashi will be her undoing as Takashi is starting to question his feelings for her. If she is not careful, she is going to lose him. And if I was Takashi, I wouldn't stay with her either for that very reason. What the hell does Rei want? She keeps wanting Takashi to be something he isn't and she never stops complaining about how bad he is, then next moment she says how she loves him and how she never want to hurt him again and blah blah. Well, Rei you should have thought about that a while ago.

Thank you James I agreed completely. Your points is what makes me think that she doesn't truly love him. Yes she loves him but I don't think it's that deep love to consider him her boyfriend. If I were Takashi I would just have Rei as a close friend nothing else and I would give Saeko a chance. She looks like the kind of person who will be very loyal to her man, they looked better together. Rei already messed up at the start of the series when she dumped him "for his best friend none the less" how low can she go? I'm not bashing her like I said before I have nothing personal against her character it's just she's not the right person for Takashi. As I already said if the manga is resume then I would like for the introduction of a new character that will understand Rei and fall for her and vice versa, that she will be able to have a better communication and relationship with that new character than she ever did with Takashi.

An update by Shoji Sato has been announced that he's planning to resume the manga, though he wasn't being very specific and didn't give an official date to when the next chapter will be release so there can be a season 2 (I think it's pointless to just give an update without giving an official release date). Oh well at least he's not planning in leaving the series in permanent hiatus.

Why does it only say he's continuing the anime? I didn't see anything about the manga. It sounds like they're just going to catch up to the manga with the anime.

What are you talking about? huh.gif The manga has to be resume in order for the anime to resume too and for season 2 to premiere that's how it's always been between manga and anime.

I'm just pointing out that the article makes no mention of the manga whatsoever. And since it's the original creators returning they could easily see the rest of their story out in anime form without it feeling like fanfiction.

Oh I get it the authors don't have to resume the manga they can sit and talk with the anime studio and tell them their thoughts of how the story will play out if they were writing the manga. They give their ideas and points and the anime resumes the series without the need of the canon manga, I didn't know that could be possible.

This doesn't mean what you said won't happen either. It's just the fact that they made no mention of the manga's return to publication. Was there ever a definitive reason why the manga went on hiatus? I've read somewhere that one of the creators has been guilty a few times of just up and leaving a series for a while. I've also read it was due to poor sales/reviews.

It is confirmed in the interview that the manga itself it still being made. Shouji Sato said that he is a little busy working on Triage X manga, but will continue to work on HOTD manga after he does a little research on weapons and stuff. He specifically says that the reason why it is on hiatus is both because of his other manga AND that when he continues HOTD he wants to give the same quality as he always has with the intricate details. He just asks for patience and we will be rewarded.

He also confirms that they will make a Season 2, but they want him to release more chapters first so they can get a more stable second season. This guy even has Sato's autograph to back up meeting him and I think it is legit.

Hope that helps.

I think so. At least that's where the source leads from. I know Sato was indeed going to Germany for a Anime-con of some sort.

and yes, Grave, I know you know they are continuing the manga, I just wanted to show that the manga itself was talked about.

Yep already knew from the many HOTD pages in facebook I knew it was going to be in 2013. I'm sure Shouji Sato has thought long and hard after a 2 year hiatus where to take the story from where he left it. In the last interview he did he said he was coming up with new weapons and vehicles (seriously hoping the famous AK-47 is included in the weapons list). Anyway I'm also hoping for new characters both good guys and villains (I'm crossing my fingers for Shizuka to have a love interest that Rika will eventually fall for creating a nice love triangle for more drama and tension in the story).

In addition no doubt the anime will resume too. At least they should release a new opening for the 2nd season and also releasing the chapters where Takashi and the gang arrive at the mall, the police station and meeting Rei's mother.
