I eagerly await Shima's awakening into something that Shiho/Shiro finds endearing enough to marry.

Only partially right. New theory: Shiro gets stuck as Shiho in her body, but his mind and starts responding to Shima's advances.

Alternate theory: Shima gets crossdressed and Shiro falls for the crossdressed Shima.

Shiho's reaction at the end is perfect, the revelation that led to it is not, not in the least! :stonk: That poor girl!

Maybe this leads to a teaching arc of some kind, where the Jitsu Was make a passable man out of Shimada? gently caress, we can only hope :suicide:

Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
What if it's one of those stable time-loops where, even despite knowing about it and trying to prevent it, their actions lead inexorably to the future which started the loop? It would be rather deliciously satisfying to see it turn out like that despite their intentions. :getin:

So how does the family tree look like now? They've got to be cousins twice removed because they'd be related to each other via sibling offspring of Kuromine, correct?

Momo isn't related to Kuromine at all. His house is just the one the Resistance meets up at and it's why he's called Grandpa (i.e. what old people are familiarly called in Japan). One of Momo's parents is the offspring of Shima and Shiho/Shiro (we assume for the ease of reference, but not sanity that it's Shima and Shiho) and the other is from a ninja family whose identity is likely to remain a mystery until the author feels otherwise.

Hah, I just realized that if werewolves can spread their lycanthropy with a bite, then pairing him with Shiho would still work regardless of Shiho's gender...

I must say, that was a very slick little veer away from angsty harem drama into shenanigans. Shiho's one of the silliest characters in a very silly cast, so it'd be a shame if we lost too much of that with an overly serious arc.

He obviously hosed up there. Just you watch, trying to preemptively break Shima and Shiho up is gonna cause Shima to become a decent human being. It'll be the greatest character development story telling has ever known.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
If you think about it, if the future is "hey, I marry someone awful," isn't that just solved by resolving to not marry them? Like, it's not like anyone has a gun to the head in this scenario.

The more unlikely something is, the more inevitable it feels once it's actually happened. Like, nobody in their right mind would shack up with Shima, and yet Shiho did it anyway, which implies that just going 'it's fine, I'll make sure I don't do that' won't exactly help her case. After all, that's what Grandma Shiho almost certainly thought that as well.

To paraphrase the late Sir Terry Pratchett, Shimada has charisn'tma, in that he's so utterly disgusting he loops around to becoming really fascinating.
