thanks for the reply.
fujinsan,
actually i have already researched too much on the subject...DOH! It turns out she's still around, memory lost, etc. The question is whether or not Miura wants them to have a happy ending as right now she appears to be one of the driving forces for the Guts to be doing the things he does, trying to get her memory back, etc
I'm not sure if there is any other romantic interest for Guts along the way, or up to this point in the series--dont need any spoilers, heh--but it's nice to know that she is still around and that they might work out in the end...
now..if she drives him crazy enuf, your scenario might work out after all.
