If you mean whether he appears again later in the series, then yes. he does appear later and he is quite important.

He just made his first appearance in the anime, while he looks strong, but I have the feeling that he is a jobber or a fodder in front of Tatsuya's presence.

So, is he a fodder or he is actually good enough to give Tatsuya a decent fight?

He is not a fodder. But the fight you are waiting for won't be the kind of fight you want IMO.

He could give him a decent fight. But they aren't going to fight in the way that you are thinking about

Has the author stated when or how he intends to conclude the series, or is the story still going at full speed ahead?

At the moment, based upon a tweet from the author from November 2011, the author expects the story to take about 20 to 25 volumes to complete, if the publisher lets him finish it.

From my understanding ... there haven't been any additional information that would verify or change this information ... so I assume that this exception might be a quite valid assumption.

There also hasn't been any info about how the author intends to conclude the series and I doubt that he will actually reveal that, since it would ... pretty much make the point of actually reading this LN a little redundant.

[Ultragunner]

Well, one thing that is quite sure is that Mahouka will finish after (or during) Tatsuya senior year at First High

since i;m seeing a growing harem for tatsuya and a possible NTR, i want to know the status of the girls relationship with him ( in the LN) and who has the closet relationship apart from his brocon sis, and last who is tatsuya interested in

[Echizen777]

Blush doesn't necessarily mean that they are crushing on him but he is responsible for the women team.

Girls who loves him are Miyuki, Honoka, Mayumi and Erika(though some fans disagree about her). Shizuku doesn't love him but admire him, she ships him with Honoka, her best friend. There is also Lina who loves him but she won't appear in the anime.

Mari is happy enough with her boyfriend , the others are just friendly with him.

[Kokus]

Spoiler for girls interestet in tats (till vol 13):

honoka miyuki mayumi shizuku lina +some other side character have a certain intrest in tats (honoka is the only one that confessed) .
tats has no sexual disire to any of them at lest atm(vol. 13).

Correction.

Miyuki, Lina and Honoka are the only ones that are confirmed to be interested in Tatsuya THAT way, and can be quoted from the text.

Mayumi is VERY hazy because she has only shown clear evidence of sibling-zoning Tatsuya, but her other reactions to Tatsuya have kind of ranged from "Is she jealous?" to "What the heck is with that kind of reaction?"

Spoiler:

Especially with that really nasty prank she did to him in volume 10,

This still needs shipping glasses to make it work, but the prescription doesn't need to be strong.

Erika both likes and is scared of Tatsuya, but you'd need pretty strong shipping glasses to make the like THAT way as of V13.

[Echizen777]

I don't think I wear shipping googles, true that it is only really confirmed for the 3 cited but there are some moments which clearly hint romantic attraction, especially because I would not like Tatsuya to have too much females falling for him, harem can be cool but it is better when it's played for laughs like in vol, 13 in this series at least.

First I will use Miyuki has an example.

Spoiler for My reasons:

Did we need vol 11 to know that she wanted Tatsuya's D? That scene with her attacking him with psion surge was more than enough. Everything she said to Shizuku in vol 5 was not important for me.

Mayumi: I ship her with Tatsuya but despite their moments in the 9SC I didn't believe she loved him, even with Mari's remark and that she said to see him as a brother. Then we got Vol 5 and Yokohama. Why was she comparing her body to Miyuki in her bathroom, thinking that she was unnoticed by Tatsuya? Why was she jealous of Suzune, asking if she was his type? And so on.

And lastly Erika, most of the readers don't think so but when I gather the pieces together I am convinced that she indeed loves him. You have her monologue about him before her date + Mizuki's thoughts comparing her feelings for Tatsuya to her 2 other male friends Leo and Mikihiko + her jealousy in Visitor arc followed by a discussion with Mizuki. It's more than enough for me at least. And it's still in character considering her behaviour and past.

I don't understand people putting Shizuku in all of this however, even with vol 12she shown nothing but pure admiration and does her best to help Honoka since day 1. The problem with the anime is that with such a large number of female characters and their blushing, Tatsuya looks like a harem king .

[IceHism]

Well being someone who has a rather conservative view on attraction, there are 4 girls I think who like Tatsuya in THAT way. Miyuki, Honoka, Lina(but I don't see how this is gonna be relevant in the story after she disappears so I don't really like to count this one), and Mayumi as evidenced by her weird side story that was never published. However, I don't have enough proof to conclude that Erika has feelings beyond being a friend.

Now, Tatsuya doesn't like women and doesn't understand why people in general would even like him (even with Miyuki herself) so you won't see Tatsuya hit on anybody unless he regains strong emotions back but he may be married off as a political thing

Erika like's him more than a friend,it was in the Visitor's arc,when she was Mizuki not getting lunch because she was irritated and avoiding Tatsuya because he was also helping Mayumi I believe.(Too lazy too look for the exact quote's )

That scene was her mad because she didn't want to work with mayumi and katsuto, not much to do with tats

Her words were her,not them,and they also talked about in that scene about Tatsuya and her feelings,the words love or like wasn't there but you know what they are talking about.

[amtro]

He didn't explicitly talked about it, just said he could see activation sequences. It's in Vol 3 and in the anime when he decomposed the terrorist's guns.

[zerozeronine]

Too lazy to re read Yokohama.but did Shizuku witnessed Re-growth on Isori and Kihihara?Was she in the helicopter with Honoka or in the Helicopter her family sent?
