Okay, so this is kind of a late post on this thread. But I honestly think (and ship) that Takashi and Rei will be endgame.

Like a few have said before me, they just make the most sense. I'm sick of people hating on Rei when Takashi is REALLY the one to blame here. I wonder if anyone seems to remember what the creators and manga explained.

First of all. The reason Rei broke up with Takashi was completely understandable. I MEAN HELLO!! GUYS!! Takashi was waaay too reluctant. He completely disregarded Rei's feelings, and constantly said that whenever she came to talk to him about an important problem (Mr. Shido holding her back + in general) he just shrugged and said that it was "Just a hassle." Not to mention he never once said that he Loved OR cared about her throughout their entire relationship. And how would YOU feel if your boyfriend or girlfriend, WHOM YOU LOVE, did the same thing to you?

If you ask me, I would have dumped his ass too.

Although I will admit that dating Takashi's best friend was not the way to go, it made some level of sense. At least Hisashi actually listened to her and paid her attention.

But that is also why I think I like this couple. Over the course of the series their relationship is slowly growing and maturing now that Takashi is actually manning up. And I'm sure that if the manga series was off hiatus that Rei's character would continue to grow, and that at least some of her haters would grow to like her and ship these two more. But for now the creators are sticking us with this, so only time will tell what happens.

But trust me I LOVE Saeko, but I really hate that they made her like Takashi. She's just so much more awesome on her own. She kicks major ass that way.

The give-and-take relationship between Takashi and Rei just seems more interesting to watch rather than the sexual tension between the love triangle.

Even critics noted (on the HOTD list of character's wikipedia) that they thought their realationship was interesting.

Anyway I'm done with this long rant, hope I proved my point.
