Ah chap3,it was Gold
Abusers always talk about how much they love their partners, even as they break their bones and rape them and control them. So, screw Karino's so-called love. Just because he has a life mapped out (many kids do, especially high status ones) doesn't justify this brutality.
you're so right. In the past I expressed the violent wish of seeing Karino dead, but I lost hope. I can't shake off the sensation this will end with Azusa admitting he loves Karino, and there I will think sensei just did it because of the bad pressure. I know, I know. She's smart and brave, but she's really avoiding the main plot too much. This makes me feel like she knows an "happy ending" (it's not really like they'll ever be the romantic kind, of course) will be more appreciated than a harsh finale. We'll see, I hope in this lifetime. Almost, after all this time I can accept their "love", let's call it like that. It would be interesting if, for once, a mangaka would distinguish between being emotionally exhausted and being affectionate to someone. How would the readers react?...
I think it will end something like that too. In yaoi, no matter what The Seme is Always Right. :)
I'm not hoping for Karino's death so much as Karino's character growth--but I don think either of us will get what we want. I wouldn't mind if Kuze died.
Kuze must die. I mean, sensei will make us a little happy because she knows what we want. "So the boy must die" and that's all, Severus. After this, I'm going to sleep, have a nice day wherever you are.
Ok, Ok, I know that whatever we read it's NOT from Karino's point of view and any word spit from his mouth to his brother or whoever else might be false in order to preserve his image and blah blah blah. But, do his fans still believe he somehow "loves" Azusa? He blatantly denies everything (again)… Azusa's reaction is spectacular. A guy with a clear mind! I feel like the story is loosing grip after such a long time, like, whoever really cares at this point whether they'll "love" each other or not?…Tatsumi and Senzaki have become more real, but without the original potential Karino and Azusa had. I appreciate a well-built pattern but this is too much, it adds absolutely nothing to the main line. Does Karino love Azusa? Well, who cares, at this point.
