My bad habit of putting myself in the MC's shoes backfired on me again and will probably continue to do so as this series progresses.
I trashed my pillow and cried my eyes out for Tia in the recent chapters. Carsein is so freaking annoying!!!

Anything about that stupid Prince makes my stomach churn and I don't know how to feel about Alendis. I'm just drowning in emotions and confusion.
Poor Tia. ╥﹏╥

That batch of first years (Fujishima and co.) really learnt from their senpais well; Kashiwagi especially imprinted deeply on Takara and Asou (when Asou threatened those three first years into being temporary dorm president while Takara was away, it was like seeing the devil in person) and the new guy who took over from Takara was a smiling tiger from the start.
In Kaze No Mon, to be a leader one must be black bellied, for those who aren't, they must learn or face the consequences.
This is definitely one of my all time favorite manga, even if just for the character development.

Its sad. I saw where this was going from the time I started reading it, and when I saw him look out at the balcony, I knew he was going to 'fly', yet, when he did it and she screamed at him to stop after telling the boy she didn't want him,.... I laughed.
"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"... b*llsh*t!
"Life and death lies in the power of the tongue".
You can build a person up with a song and crush them with a single word. There is a reason for the existence of the term 'mental abuse'.
....sorry, I ranted.

The idea behind this manga was so heavy, I literally had to stop a few time while reading to breathe.
The question of 'social conformity' versus 'emotions' and even the general topic of 'incest' is a pretty bitter pill to swallow and gave the story that melancholy vibe, but the author dressed it up pretty well with the time slip to make it easier for readers to bear instead of just coming straight out with the fact that this boy wholly and solely fell in love with his dad.
I'd say the ending was pretty satisfying, since the author was obviously going for HE, doing anything else would have made for a bitter parting or even maybe end in tragedy from either of the two being unable to bear the pain of separation and having to hide behind a fragile, almost nonexistent father-son relationship.
There are a lot of twincests yaoi out there and most of them hide behind the 'I've loved you since I was born' thrope to explain the feelings of attraction between siblings, but this just went for the gold, plainly asserting the fact that Ryou was in love with his father because he fell in love with the guy, no excuses and I liked that.
Well, I wrote a lot more than i expected when i set out to say that I really liked this manga. All that's left to say now is, "Thank you, Sensei!"
Umm...... what?
