Then again, when you stop and think, this kind of thing happens everyday to millions of people. They wake up expecting life to just continue like it did the day before, when "out of the blue" they or someone they love are dead. Perhaps this exact situation happened to the mangaka and their way of coping with it was to draw about it.
Then again, if you consider that "out of the blue" deaths happen everyday to millions - whether their own death or the death of a loved one. Perhaps this mangaka and "Lucky-kun"'s experienced this type of event and drew about it to cope. In life, no one gets out alive. Granted, I see yaoi as a fantasy world devoid of "real life". It is my escape from reality. So, of course I want Osanari to be alive - have I repeated that enough? LOL - but somehow I just can't get my brain to follow my heart.
Sorry, I reposted this reply accidentally. I thought I had lost it by losing my browser, but it posted on a separate page. I feel like such a dumb-ass now for not checking. Please forgive me.
Heheh, thanks for the complement (●'◡'●)
Well anonymous does have a point (▰˘◡˘▰) of what he/she said. Anyways there is no wrong opinion on this topic ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Everyone just has to be imaginative of thier desire ending. As for me, am sticking to what i think is best for both my heart and mind (〜￣△￣)〜
Absolutely correct on all points. BTW, thanks so much for starting this really awesome thread. I haven't enjoyed a debate like this in a while. And I will never forget this manga now. LOL
Several months later, I am back and ALMOST read this manga again, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. CRAP! Osanai's "death" still affects me this much! LOL I really loved this manga, truly, but I'm still to "sensitive" just yet to read it again. This manga-ka really hit home with their characters for me. The mark of a truly talented manga-ka.
Hahahaha (⌒▽⌒). So am i. This one is already on my list (≧∀≦)
If you love to read this one like i do, you can just skip the part where he died. That way you can avoid having a hard time in the end (=・ω・=). I do it sometimes while reading this one and some other mangas (☆▽☆) heheh
I considered doing that, but I'm so weird - I absolutely HAVE to read to the last page of a manga or I feel like I've missed something. Even if I've read the darn thing 50 times!! It feels "incomplete" if I stop before the end. Like sex without an orgasm. LMAO
ROFL. WHahahahahah.... gosh! I don't know what to say. I'm blown away of what you said especially the last part! It feels hardcore. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
ROFLMAO You're too funny and far too cute! I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. I have a potty mouth and sex on the brain. I'm just a pervy old woman. Sorry again.
Hahaha....no need to apologize. I'm pretty sure when it comes to YAOI mangas we are both prevs at the same level (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ heheh
Just reread that story because of your thread and, if it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty sure he didn't actually die.
As I read it, the dream made the seme/boss realize the depths of his feelings, which in turn gave him the push he needed to say "I love you" out loud to his partner.
Any story/art is open to interpretation; however, I truly believe the author was merely using the dream sequence featuring the death as a mechanism to provide the seme motivation to finally say what needed to be said.
Put another way, I believe the story had a happy ending.
I'm glad our conversation encouraged you to read a really great manga. I love your interpretation and the way you voiced your thoughts. Perhaps I could be persuaded to agree with you if I could bring myself to read it again. Even after several months, the "death" of the uke (I can't remember his name correctly - sorry) still makes my heart ache when I consider reading this. LOL Maybe in another month I will have the courage.
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Osanai is not dead! I repeat not dead. It said there, "thankfully I am able to touch him" and yes, it was a dream. He was even told not to say bad omen stuffs
Everyone!!! thank you for sharing your thoughts about this story..my simple reaction/opinion about this manga turn out to be something...hehehe ╮(￣▽￣)╭.. like i said, everyone is free to decide which ending they like and will stick to mind...hehehehe

Hi, I wonder whether you're still here :) It took me 4,5 years to come back to this manga after the shock after reading "The final arrangement" chapter and I'm the experienced fujoshi now and I KNOW Osanai is still alive! Just saying...:D He is!
I think nobody notice but the 1st couple had a sad ending （￣へ￣）
Sweet yet sad ending (︶︿︶)
