I'm just asking you this out of curiosity...you write fics? :P
Anyway, I'm going to argue with you a little (in the best kind of way because I generally like your comments, they're serious!) and because I see you in my favs ones commenting (I'M NOT STALKING YOU!) but, don't you think that maybe that's what they needed? I mean, in the context of the story, they always found the way in the middle of sex (hot HOT sex always) to be honest with each other (especially Keiichi because it was the way he found to make Shingo being raw and honest about them, about him)
I really did like this ending and to be honest probably I wouldn't like it that much if instead of this, they were arguing, crying, screaming at each other, I mean it's not the kind of drama (or that kind of drama) that we used to see in them, and maybe I would say...but that's not them. They weren't like this before, why now?
I think they reach the peak in terms of "maturity" in their own way and for me, that's was so cool.
Considering this is the 6th story in the Black Cat series I'm guess it's just the end to this one. More than likely there will be another sequel.
I hope there's a story of Rio when he's older!!!
….I guess I have been part of this site for quite a long time, but never did an account so, now that I did, I'm having fun commenting seriously, I even plan to stop soon, lol! I can't go on pestering everyone! And yes, i do write, but I'm not commenting because I consider myself one to "judge" (I hope I do not give this impression, if I did, I apologize). I just comment as a fan and in this particular case, what should I say, i ADORE this author so I expect her to satisfy me 101%! Asking too much?….yawn, maybe. Btw I know you're right, is just that there is still so much left unspoken and I really wanted to hear Keiichi's thoughts for once. I wanted to know about Jin's relationship with Angelo…I definitely want more Jin4Ei…I want to know what makes an incredibly successful actor as Kei so insecure…and, in the end, a lot of love was due. I alway teamed with Kei, I wanted to see them together like an idiot myself… but it left me with a bitter sensation, as if… I don't know, I'm probably wrong, I really hope I'm wrong! Someone wrote we'll have to wait until the summer…well, I guess it can't be helped? I'll wait but i WANT a sequel!!
Yes. That's what I want to hear. That the real reason behind this inconsistent ending is that there will be a sequel! What it scares me is that… she's such a genius she could easily come out with a new story, and bye bye Shingo!
...something I always wanted to ask to a Rio's fan: don't you think it is a little sad for Ei that Rio doesn't seem to care about him at all?
I think there is a lot of Rio that we don't see. I think what we've been shown about Rio and his relationship with Ei is just to move along plots or cause humorous tensions between other characters. Plus to pull in the cuteness factor. There's a lot of time that's not shown between parents and kids that could reveal a stronger bond than we know of! All the little normal things like bed times, meals, play times etc. It's all the unseen part of Rio that makes me want to see more! That's why I think it'd be cool to have a story of Rio say as a teenager. Still pinning after Shingo but another love interest comes up etc etc. But from what they do show it's a bit sad for Ei lol.
I like your answer. The only thing, it's early for me to see a grow-up Rio, he's so, so, SO adorable, I'd love to see more about the three of them. Honestly, I don't understand how Kei hopes to compete with that adorable little brat, Shingo is completely in love with Rio…because Rio is like the kid he would love to have from Kei. A story where for some reason they had to take care of him for some chapters would be hilarious! I can totally figure Kei's face out while he tries to pretend he's not madly jealous!
Haha for sure! I'd love to see more of his cute chibi self too!
That's why I'm so reluctant to open an account! (I know eventually I'll do it anyway) I'll go to every damn thing I love, spreading non-stop all my nonsense whatsoever! HA!
You give me the impression that you write for the way you comment, you really get involved with the story and share with us your impressions with a very complete analysis of the characters and you're very objective in your words. It's not the first time that I'm all..."mmmmm, this gal/pal must write seriously", maybe it's just me but generally I'm right :D
It's hard tho, being objective if you're a die hard fan of the artist, you're right, you want 101% and also, you're expecting something that will satisfy your demands. It's quite normal that. And she's wonderful, Sakyo is in the top of my top 10 and of course we want something almost perfect from her hell yeah! For me, she reached my expectations with this ending, mostly because I bought it like "Shingo's feeling developments"...maybe if she writes something like a side story with Keiichi's impressions, we could get more of that something that's missing.
But probably I'll want first something related to the Big Brother too...this is far from over really!! I hope that. Or at least that's what I'm expecting.
I want to thank you for your words. You actually really surprised me. I send you a huge hug and I encourage you to make an account…it is really useful, in the end, I was getting crazy with too many authors to follow, it's much easier having an account. It even allowed me to contribute (a very little) translation for our favorite mangaka… I know it's silly, but it made me incredibly happy, I bragged a lot with all my friend who were like "…uhm? What kind of stuff do you read????". I'm seriously wondering why I didn't study japanese in the first place.
... you know writing "seriously" is different from being good, I love stories, I just can't stop trying to learn. I think Sakyo is very good. Very good. That's why Im not convinced with this ending. Is she holding back because she wants to develop in a new volume? That's what I'm hoping for. I probably got to affectionate to Shingo. I wanted to see him reassured - I know Kei has full right of being tired of his shilly-shalling, but when you come from a past like Shingo's… you need love. Not a partner that lies behind your back, no matter what (I'm sure Kei wants to "protect him, but, still). Shingo is a wonderful character. So full of depth and shadows. I want him to be mine! Btw, thanks again: you made my day!
Seriously, I'm kinda disappointed. I get it, I get it all, but still. This reminds me of a book I really loved and I dare to suggest to all of you little pervs, titled "Don't let me go" by J.H. Trumble. It's a marvelous love story between two guys, a little masterpiece but it ends abruptly as if the author suddenly lost her inspiration. Now, I really hope for a sequel - but what the hell, yo cannot create all of those steep hills and then say "we argued a lot because we expressed our feelings on Skype and that's all folks" it really makes me think she's just tired of the,m. I hope I'm wrong. Not to say I hoped to see more about Jin and Ei, they are amazing. But if she's bored with her own characters, it's over then. And this ending is boring to death. With all the elements she had in her hands…I cannot believe it. I am completely disappointed.
