Wouldn't Hanako be the one to "burn" herself out? (please kill me that was an awful pun)

Why would Emi "burn out" though? Isn't exercise healthy? Although she is pretty stubborn so I could see her attempting to run marathons when she's 70 lol

Emi at her Emiest...

Exercise isn't necessarily healthy. Hisao nearly killed himself during his second visit to the track and Emi spent several weeks in a wheelchair. All because they didn't mind the limits their condition placed on them. I don't really see Emi respecting the limits that come with aging all that well. Burning herself out would be somewhat in-character for her.

Because as we all know, Emi is completely incapable of learning and would never possibly take into consideration how ignoring her limits royally fucked her over once before...

Well, according to the nurse ignoring her limits was all Emi did during her revalidation... they had to regularly force her to slow down her exercises because she'd keep going until her stumps started bleeding. I'm not saying Emi's incapable of learning, but her pride has the tendency to cloud her judgement on this particular matter.

Well, assuming Emi ever does find a partner (Hisao or otherwise), they'd keep her in check. Plus, during revalidation, I'd imagine she had more reason to overdo it given the very recent loss of her legs and father.

@Jobriq: I'm equally sarcastic off the internet.

I have to go with Emi, like most here. Even if she overdoes it with the exercising, she's still got good genes, as one look at Meiko will attest. (As if anyone could restrict themselves to one look at Meiko.)
I can see Lilly aging gracefully, due to probably having the least stress in her life overall.
There's someone we're all forgetting, I think. Suzu. She definitely gets her beauty sleep.

I don´t think Rin will be that bad of but to be realistic, Emi will be in best shape.

Probably Emi. She has both an active lifestyle, and the genes of her absurdly youthful-looking mom.

Getting the European half of the genes probably also means that Lilly might be the one to get unlucky in the aging departments- Asian ladies, in general (not counting for the huge individual fluctuations with everything biological) tend to stay well conserved until menopause hits, while ppl of European descent tend to get wrinkly earlier than most groups.
Then again, there's enough of gracefully aged Europeans, and there are ppl who even wrinkle gracefully... If anyone can pull that off, it's Lilly XD

It's hard to tell without seeing more of their parents/grandparents to get an idea of their genetic package.

also, age is a bit less noticeable on slightly pudgy people. Wahahaha~~~

Misha will definitely get fat at the end, just because she never restricted her in sweets, and it's harder to do so with every other sweet being eaten.
Shizune gonna be pretty, but absolutely unbearable in terms of temper.
Emi has my vote for her mom, her sporty lifestyle and her general attractiveness.
Rin will care about herself even less, and will eventually end to be quite unattractive in every way possible. Not that she's beautiful to begin with. She's the only girl that got my attention being quite average in terms of her looks, since I'm not fond of doll-like prettiness.
Hanako... won't ever be pretty. Scars like these are hardly curable even by cosmetical surgeons, and she won't get more attractive as time goes by.
Lilly gets my vote too, as she will definitely be attractive. Even if she will end up drinking a lot, it will spoil her face, but not much.

I'm sorry but: You're talking out of your ass friend.
One: Hanako's scars are likely much better than they were when she first got them (remember, she got them at 8 and it's been 10 years of healing).
Two: Scars like that do heal over time, albeit very slowly. She won't ever not have them, but eventually they'll be much less noticeable.
Three:

"won't ever be pretty" you say? :p

Yep, half of her face won't regenerate. That depends on degree of burns. If they are heavy, they won't regenerate at all. If they aren't, they will eventually regrow in baby-pink colour, which is fugly. Sorry, just trying to be realistic.
Nevertheless, I do not care about the looks, and if Hanako would be my girlfriend, I'd love her even if she'd be scary as fudge, which she will definitely be.

Edit: I forgot when Hanako got her scars. They won't regenerate, dude. Sorry.

I have to go with Emi on this one (sport, genes, healthy food--almost perfect combination)
I also think that Lilly would age just fine, as well (because of the little stress...aaand that sex drive, you know, sex is healthy )

Don't forget that we all actually have a perfect example of Emi-in-the-future in form of her MILC (Mom I'd like to cuddle).
