congrats sensei on your first book! i really love this and looking forward to reading your future works :3
if it's a happy ending, this manga might turn out longer than what i expected. well ogawa, make sure you stick with that happy ending.
the main story is really cute, but i acutally like chapter 6 as well~ a japanese rock bad with three hot members and all of them are gay? sounds delicious (▰˘◡˘▰)
IKR!? I want more of it especially the last two.
RIGHT?? RIGHT?? RIGHT??!! Oh my f'ing god. I died right there. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
initially i thought souma lived bec he got strength and a will to survive after what masataka said to him, but they will never meet each other again. however after re-reading the last scene, souma might have died under that sakura tree. it's bec masataka thought to himself that they will definitely meet again under the sakura tree and the last scene showed souma bleeding there. maybe masataka returned to meet souma only to find out that he died there. technically, they still met each other under the sakura tree.
this in an open ending so it really depends on how you interpret. altho i am still im denial (obviously we all want them to meet and live together happily), the second ending makes more sense to me.
either way this is a fucking masterpiece that i will never read again bec it's so tragic and heartbreaking.

i would have wished for a hole to sink in , if it was me . poor minase ^^
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FAVE MANGA
now for the serious comment.
i was pretty sure itou-san would kill kyosuke when he said he'd rather die than being apart. there are a lot of parts where i thought it would turn out twisted or that itou-san would behave like a psycho. like when he was sharping the knife (needle?) or at the old house with golds and money or when he shot a spy while hugging (?) kyosuke. BUT NOPE i got all of that wrong.
itou-san is very gentle and thoughtful towards kyosuke. i can really feel the love between them. also, no rape yayyy!
the ending is kinda bittersweet. (SPOILER) too bad for Itou-san, kyosuke lost his memories. despite that, itou-san waits for him patiently for years. but thats okay, i am positive they'll have a fresh start of relationship after the incident (need a sequel pls).
and for the second story wtf how did the sensei suddenly become submissive??
For the second story I think the sensei has a mixed personality between a masochist and a sadist (though heavily masochistic). He pushes his master to extreme points as a way to test how far their mental limits go. So towards the ending his true feelings come out at the bliss of finding a master that isn't afraid and strong enough to stay on top ╮(￣▽￣)╭
wow what are you, a mind reader? thanks for the explanation!
yeah, during the whole story. I always have the feeling that Itou-san constantly fight hí s dark side, the urge to put Kyosuke down and force him. But because Itou-san loves him so so much and he never hurt Kyosuke, not even one.
