Just as an addition, Mako swings "that" way so.....

And technically the Oreimo games have all the routes added with proper endings to satisfy those that were disappointed with the original LN ending. Sure it isn't canon, but technically it stops being canon the moment someone other than the author rewrites it anyway plus they pretty much blatantly tell you to get all the media(minus the manga) for Oreimo and I feel it is worth the money but I suppose I am a fanboy so.... yeah. Just my thoughts. Still agree that the original ending should have been handled better. I mean spoiler Kyousuke pretty much decided to cut off any romantic ties to all the girls and alludes to never getting together with anyone, so.... basically they decided to be single 4ever when they haven't even hit 20 from what I gathered. spoiler

Though I have to say that since it is a LN story and not a proper novel and cause Teenagers are naive and inexperienced as heck, it isn't total disbelief. Fix or detail the public image of teenagers and you get better handling. It's like most media want to say that a teenager that makes the right decisions and analyzes situations making accurate observations without being brash or emotional or falling into depression is some kind of different animal. How many times in media have you seen a teenager having a proper mentor? I don't mean to teach them some skill but to teach them about making decisions and such and for the kid to actually listen or go to ask advice on their own. Harry Potter was an exception where we had a good array of mature adult characters to clean up some of the messes caused by the youngsters. In most other media with school life, teachers and parents just screw off during important events for some reason. It's like "Oh hello, so you are here to listen to the advice of an experienced adult? Okay. I'll spend a few minutes and then I'll just disappear for a few arcs or appear for comic relief or cause I am awesome." This is just me ranting though. Good authors do provide responsible adults acting as proper guides for decision-making, but the spotlight always falls on the Teen to actually carry it out. I know you should place faith in the next generation that has more ability to grow but seriously? Something like the fate of so many people, the world or even the universe? Hell no. That only happens in fiction. Oops I forgot, this IS fiction.....
