I will definitely come back to this manga whenever I feel bad :) So warm, so sweet, happy ending, everything <3
why did he think it had been only three weeks?
Probably because they do the same thing so all the days blend together.
every time this manga updates I think I won't be able to read the next chapter because it's so painful and frustrating - and I end up reading it.... everything seems to be going to the right direction but I have a feeling that Simon's going to do something, something horrible, his mind seems to be somewhere distant; drugs and all this suffering've done something irreparable to his mind... Hope not...
I have a friend who chose the "right way".... He is a teacher, his wife commited suicide, his son ended as a drug addict and a thief... Now my friend is about 60 y.o., he's been living in England for ten years with his boyfriend, they have a house with a garden and are happy. Every time I saw Kirino in last chapter I thought about my friend and his life.... Is it really possible to deny oneself so completely? To live in denial all the time and be really happy? It must be tragic, I can't even imagine...and I think one way or another it must end wrong for someone...
I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old are you?
I don't mind :) but probably would be hated or banned heh 'cause yaoi is for younger ones (another stereotype :( ). 48
Stereotypes are meant to be broken. Age doesn't matter. If you see anybody say otherwise then please ignore them.
ı respect you! (actually ım so happy ) and sorry for your friends about his past life but ım happy for his life right now.
Tbh I'm not even sure if Kirino was gay or if he just liked to crossdress.
I'm glad your friend's happy now tho uwu
I think Kirino really was gay it's just that his desire to keep his Mother's happiness was much more important to him than him living the way he wanted. Many people make sacrifices for others and for Kirino, his trueself was that sacrifice. And for that he deserves all the happiness in world
He was defo gay. He had a crush on the really bara gym teacher.
Sacrifices are necessary, I know, but I wonder (maybe because of my age) when he gets old, his mother dies, his kids have their own families, what then?... Longing for something one could have but never had may be lethal for one's mind sometimes, especially when it's one's true nature. I just wonder whether the feeling that your sacrifice was justified is enough to be really happy in the end, because we only live once, unfortunately :(
Thank you :)
Thanks, it means a lot to me, really....
trying hard every day :)
48's still young! a lot of readers here would still be reading yaoi years into the distant future .......i'll be one of them ;)..
I hope so! and the world will be a better place, definitely :D
At last! The uke who, after being treated like shit, cries at first, then pulls himself together and shows the middle finger!
nothing was explained between this painter and Natsuki... it's a pity, it looked like Natsuki was the only one in love
so did I...
Surely I don't understand some social or cultural issues but there's one thing that makes me curious and it shows in many yaoi mangas: those "brothers". Their parents married but the boys were total strangers, not connected by blood, only by their parents' marriage certificate. So how are they brothers and where's the problem? In many countries even real cousins can get married, I mean I'm not talking about gender or anything, but the problem of those family connections really is hard to understand for me. I also have kids and a stepson (they are all in their 20s), and he never called me "mom", because I'm not his mom, he calls me by my name and it's absolutely natural. If my daughter (or son) and my stepson wanted to be together, it would also be ok... Why is there a problem in Japan? Could anyone explain?
Well, some people/cultures are more sensitive to things like this, while others just marry cousins off with no problem. Even if not by blood, they are technically brothers/family by the marriage of their parents. Some people just look down on that, and Japan tends to be a bit more conservative when it comes to love in general. Hope that helps a little.
Japan is a traditional country.Being traditional is pretty obstacle to accept new things.Maybe thats why they dont allow the siblings marriage or maybe their perspective of family is a little different.Tho I'm not sure(?). But cousin marriage is legal if im not wrong. (〜￣△￣)〜
i guess that being raised as brothers makes people forget that they aren't blood related. As it's weird to be attracted to someone you lived with, and grew up with while thinking that they were your sibling
Omg, this statement got me wondering what countries allow sibling marriages, so I googled it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_regarding_incest (⊙…⊙ ) eh （￣へ￣）
To OP, you can keep shipping your kids together
The ideology of incest has only become unacceptable in modern day society. Actually in the past 200 years to be exact. Before, it was not uncommon for a relative to wed another relative in order to preserve for various reasons. It was actually very common among the aristocracy. I personally think the change happened around the time America was colonizing the world but, that's neither her nor there. I however do not know exactly why or how this change began to happen and in such a large scale at that.
I believe where I live it is illegal to marry first cousins and maybe even second cousins because of the blood ties. I would probably have to look this up and doublecheck it. I do know though that while it is frowned upon and not socially acceptable it is not illegal to marry step sibblings. My mom's sister married her step brother. Of course they divorced and remarried and divorced again, but they were still able to
Now for Japan, and I know someone else already pointed this out, but I think cousin marriage is acceptable. Now as I don't live in Japan I'm not certain. I would think the issue with step sibblings and blended families would mainly have to do with the family structure and being raised along side each other. The emotions and arguments and sibblings rivalries that can go into it.
As you said yourself, your kids are all in their 20s, but imagine you lived and raised them together since they were children, or teens? Would you have been comfortable with your teenage stepson sneaking into your teenage daughter's room at night to have sex, while you were non-the-wiser?
you've got a point here...
I think it also depends on the individual situation. If the stepchildren are adult (or near enough) that they and the respective parents don't view them as actual siblings it won't seem weird emotionally. But if the children are young enough to form an actual sibling bond emotionally, then while it may not be incest technically it has the same emotional impact. In the end, as someone who has whole, half and adopted siblings, all that mattered was that we felt like siblings, not the degree to which we were related by blood. But I can easily imagine that should I have suddenly in been introduced to a new older "sibling" by marriage in my late teens or early 20's, if of the opposite gender and attractive, I doubt I'd been thinking of him as "brother".
I love Hideyoshico's works but... this one - too much of emotional rollercoaster and no true love, just a substitute... and maybe I really DON'T like women being involved. eh. I'm a simple person, wishing for happy endings, and here...The art is amazing though, as always.
