Though that's a good counterpoint, one would like to hope Kubo doesn't sink to Kishi's level. The romance in Nardo made Twilight look like a beautiful love story. The fact that the female lead ended up with someone who attempted to kill her 3+ times over the course of the manga...my god...
Regarding Ichi/Ruki vs. Ichi/Hime, I prefer Ichi/Hime myself, but I think Ichi/Ruki is the more likely pair. It's really hard to dispute their bond. Even if it's not necessarily romantic, it's easily the most powerful relationship in the series. I think the biggest hurdle for any other pair is just getting around Ichigo's number one bond being with another girl.
It's a bit odd for me, since I usually root for the canon ship, or prefer outgoing girls that dom the hero over the sweet girls that crush on hero-kun from afar, but I guess in this case Orihime just clicked with me more than Rukia did. Though it's also true that lately I've realized that my Nisekoi OTP has a lot in common with Ichi/Ruki, so maybe I'm just growing more sympathetic. XD
Though that's assuming any pair happens of course. If I was a betting man, I'd say it'll end with Ichigo being the Soul King somehow. But who the heck knows what's happening with the plot right now. Every chapter leaves me more confused. XD
