Concept: Mizusu dated Jun in middle school to keep him away from Tomo (bc she was jealous of them getting together), and Jun dated Mizusu so he would hopefully get over his crush on Tomo (which he couldn't understand) ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

I was definitely thinking MIsuzu did it to cut the possessive factor--cockblocking. I thought Jun probably just went along cause he never had a girlfriend, and thought Tomo as a "guy." And Misuzu was the girl he always had hanging around. Jun seems like he can be led around a bit. But maybe the "Shounen Ai" feelings were starting to appear, hahah

I was reading comments and got really mad at ya people. Why the hell everyone hates Jang mi and loves Tae Bong? She was cheated on by her ex and then raped by him, anyway shes still a confident woman who enjoys sex (with 3/2 guys? Its not even a lot). Tae Bong is a cheater who enjoys sex, and a piece of ass. And dont say its cuz she cant put her feelings straight because they're both acting like this. UGHH DOUBLE STANDARTS EVERYWHERE

you are abs right! I think the problem with Miro is that she was aware of Tae Bongs feelings for her and she still slept with him. And then tried to go back to how things were before, while walking around the house with her tits out knowing full well he was lusting for her! Tae Bong just needs to grow up and get his priorities straight! he's being an ass. I fine piece of ass, but an ass nonetheless

I think they are both fucked up but in different ways. I agree that there is nothing wrong with her enjoying sex, if she wants to have sex with a 100 guys all the power to her but i don't agree that she is confident for many reasons. She is not yet comfortable with herself and she is trying to find her sexuality but at the same time she is scared to truly realize it which is understandable, lots of female don't want to believe they are sexual sub or masc since they think that means there is something wrong with them for liking it. I truly believe her main issue is her lack of confidence- if she had it she would accept who she is, go after what she truly wants and not put up with people who treats her like shit or respects her like George and all of her exes and what tae and his gf did. there is no way a confident person would put up with listening to the person they like having sex with another in the next room.

i completely agree about the double standards its bullshit and shows how sexist some people really are. but i think they've both made their own share of mistakes and they are a mess without each other.

Yeah thats also true, maybe shes only beginning exploring her sexuality and shes not out-right confident but i think shes quite strong. And about getting rid of people who threats her like shit... George treats her the way she's okay with, maybe she dont think its nice but she must be okay with him wanting to dominate ( Its purely about sex anyway with George) " They're both fucked up in diffrent ways" thats so true

I ship Mikhail x Feilong After reading fanfiction "Cruel Intentions" they're my OTP forever, like why theres no action beetwen them in manga

I can tell with assurance that we will see feil long again ! I am sure about that ! it's a huge matter, someone want to take asami's place and dethroned him, all the mafia around japan will join this game for money and gain more power ! besides ,coz asami is sharp and always a step ahead , some of underground people want another a head to be more free more money ! who will ba against asami and who will be aside to him?

kirshima and Kuroda. I would like to see that duel.which high stress loving rule enforcer would win out?

Well everyone ship what they wants. Fei x Yoh is a best unrequited love ever, but i think Feilong wont accept Yoh, he seeks a loyal underling in him he wouldnt risk losing him (like he losed Asami). Thats why i think Mikhail would be good for a lover, hes position in mafia world is close to Asami, but his character is completly diffrent than Yohs/Asamis, and i guess change could help Feilong

I rode it but a long time ago and now my mind is still influenced with this great fanfic about them so i might miss some facts. But anyway i guess in this manga everything's possible hahaha After all at first Asami raped Akihito and guess what they're living together and (probably) love each other now

You. Link. NOW xD
It was pretty obvios things were like that. I think people don't remember Mikha is not a good guy. It's portrayed on the extras as just a cheerful man but that's because... Those are spin offs to have fun. In the end He is mischivious and cruel and on the contrary Feilong is a pretty sensitive guy. He needs and want somebody to trust...and to protect him

It's not about 'shipping', it's about following the history. A fanfic is not the real history and usually take some character out of his way to push it on a certain situation that allows new paths. If fanfics followed the original they would seem boring.
Please don't forget Mikhail is not a good guy and probably won't hesitate to crush Feilong or anybody in his way if fits hi sconvenience

Light novel:
http://feishuanghua.tumblr.com/page/2
Yes Feilong is sensitive. Mikhail has a name like an angel (Michael), but he's no angel.

In the light novel there's something about Mikhail (Michael) having the name of an angel, but being cruel inside. When I read that part, I remember instantly the novel: The Godfather. Both have few things in common: "The things that you cannot refuse" (in the light novel: forgiveness in exchange of a last mission) and fratricide (in the light novel and in the movie The Godfather-second part ).

I kind of disagree about this. Feilong and Asami are cruel, right, they're from mafia after all. Murder, rape, there's nothing for them. Yes, they are cruel but that doesn't mean they are heartless.
Asami loved Feilong (unfortuneley not in the way Feilong would wanted), He put an effort to protect him for all those years in silence, not hoping to be rewarded in any form. Feilong too can crush his subordinate face with bare hands without a though but his heart was broken when his father died. They are man who try to be cold and strong for the kind of life they have... but know where is the line between beeing a cruel man and being just garbage.
Mikhael is... well, He just do whatever He wants to be on the top, without showing any caring about anybody else but himself. Maybe someday He will found too the person whom makes him break, but it's clear Feilong isn't. Sorry.
But talking just abou 'shipping' I think it could go well, I'm not against raping and torturing Feilong a little hahahaha

I guess you are right which doesnt change the fact that i'll read fanfics abou them forever (with mik being nice and all). And about raping its a NO even if its just in manga its such a turn off. If Asami raped Aki the way it usualy looks in real life (no pleasure, no preperation, just abuse and poor victim being fucked up forever) then this manga wouldnt have so many fans or at least nobody would like him. So i hope sensei wont ever put Fei trouhgt this, his really proud and rape could break him (or make him more badass idk)

allways on manga are pleasure on the raping part, just because xD it's porn! they allways are turned on. Also, Asami did rape Takaba; He humililates him and hurt him, but give him some aphrodisiac to turn him on. The same when Feilong Raped Takaba. The same when the other big guy of russian mafia tried to rape Takaba. To let it clear: Everybody raped Takaba already, it's time to finde another target, please hahaha.
If you say rape turn you off I don't know why you are reading a gangsters manga where everybody fuked the uke already. I just don't understand it! hahaha

In this story "the rape fantasy" reigns, but it's such a turn off if it's too much exposed. Some of the "rapes" look more dramatic than others. I didn't like, for example, the first book of this story. I started to appreciate it when it becomes a noir story (with the second book). Some of the "rapists" in this story are more appealing than others. Probably mvnyv finds that when it's enough it's enough. The use of the same stereotype (fantasy rape o sexual abuse) it's a little tiring in the long run.

Volume one surely wasn't a turn off for me back in the days, not at the very least, I obsessed over it :L.
The only scenes I don't really enjoy are the first few ones with Fei Long, and then whatever happened with Yuri. Wayy too serious to be really enjoyable, but I don't mind them. But Sakazaki fitted right into my tastes, he was so casual about it :L (and not even a rape per say, but oh well aha).
To everyone their own thing, I'm glad to be able to enjoy the manga the way it is intended :). But I do kind of like Akihito being played by other people than Asami. Never gets tiring to me.
I guess it just depends on how much you're into the "rape fantasy" to begin with, hmm? Are you that much of a fan to that?

Your reply as always raises some interesting points :D
Personally I really hate it when people shame other people's kinks or fantasies if they are not harming any other living thing and are within reason. Similarly rape in Yaoi will thankfully most of the time not reflect any of the sheer horror of RL situations and I think I can safely say that no readers of Yaoi condone RL rape in any way shape or form anyway.
I've only come across one manga in my 10 years reading that I never ever want to read ever again. It was traumatising and humiliating for the Uke with none of the usual 'they end up enjoying it and craving it impossible love story' (like Akihito etc) it left me cold and upset for many reasons….
Like a rape fantasy, fantasy being the key word - obviously it's not like you are hoping it'll happen to you in RL and you go around hanging out in little dark alleyway's on the hope of bumping into a RL Asami as a result. But Yaoi inspires and opens up its readers to self exploration, acceptance and to do away with the usual shame certain societies impose on sexuality and gender roles, which I think is a great thing.
Oh yes and I would actually get bored with the manga if there weren't other men after Akihito, I'm not into lovey dovey manga with one set pairing - too much like RL. And I know it's a weird point but Akihito and Asami always have sex in the same positions…you need to change it up a bit! :P

To tell you the truth, I like this story because of the ganster/noir plot( I loved "The black Dahlia", for example). The first book looked more like a De Sade story, I'm not so much into sm fantasies to be honest. I like novels/comics/ mangas/essays of any topic, I'm a little omnivorous with my literary tastes. Yes, I'm not that much into the "rape fantasy" but I understand that and the way it works. :)

I dont want to say i hate rape fantasy. I guess in mangas everything depends on how its pictured, the way both parts responds to it. Previously i liked volume one just as much as you. I'm into bdsm just that now my outlook on things like rape or dominance is more...defined. So when someone says they'd like to see one of characters (fei) raped my response is "No way". "Rape fantasy" and dominance in yaoi isnt something new, everything depends on how autor portrays it (if its smexy like in volume one or just degrading like in reality). Theres a thin line beetwen smexy rape and im-never-reading-this-shit-again kind of rape

It's pretty obvios it will be like that. Allways in porn they search for the best of a fantasy and will avoid the hard parts. But.. it's kind of hypocrite saying such things when in this story is very related with rape.
I think everybody have to be pretty honest about this kind of things, 'cause when you try to negate something is when everything turns to the bad way.
The truth is that we are reading things that must be disgusting, accepting some unforgivable actions just because they make it look "cute" or "hot". This is no reality, and you can enjoy it as you want because it's not real: nor the persons, nor the situation, anything. Being moralist while reading a gangsters story full of porn... well, I don't think we should mix those things here. (sorry for my bad english)

You don't have to feel sorry for your English, I'm not an English speaker too. Yes, the 'rape fantasy' is only a fantasy, it can be something that you like or not. I'm not so much into that kind of fantasy (because I have another kind of fantasies, possibly weird for other persons) , but I accept that for what it is. Nobody here is blaming others for that kind of fantasy. The 'fantasy rape' is 'liberating' for so many people. I know what it works. Sometimes I only wonder if the many underage persons (really underage) that read this kind of stories are able to understand that this is only 'fantasy rape', something that has nothing to do with rape in real life (one of the worst crimes on earth).

I get a feeling Harada knows what abuse feels like pretty well himself...

*whispers* Herself.
And believe me I was as shocked as you probably are now to find that out-- I was genuinely surprised that a lot of the really twisty stuff is done by women. I'm a big fan of her stuff so maybe I shouldn't say anything because I'll just sound like a Crazy Fangirl, but I think it's more a case of she's very imaginative and she probably gets a lot of inspiration from older stuff as well. And maybe the news. At least I hope that's the case because her stuff is so dark and I'd hate to think of anyone going through that kind of thing. #-.-)

I dont even know why i was so sure Harada is "him" not "her" idk
Maybe youre right shes just extremaly talented in expressing this "dark" feelings/vibes. But am i really the only one who thinks her past wasnt all flowers and chill for her to write such deep stuff? Anyway Haradas the best i totally get your crazy fangirl talk

This manga is so fashion-concious, look at their clothes its mostly newest trends .
