it's amazing and so cute but like- i have this feeling shuu will end up with akari and the other one (I FORGOT, SORRY) will find someone else and they'll all be happy together? idk?

this manga broke me so many times BUT I AM SO IN LOVE. i even handled the fact that it's still incomplete (though it kind of is? maybe more extra chapters?). i'm not disappointed with this manga at all, to be honest. some people are, and maybe it's just not their cup of tea, but this manga (and it's whole series) is truly worth of being called a masterpiece.
the emotional part that everyone says is missing is actually right there. maybe it's not enough to some of you, but i think it is. this manga's elements of "realistic" is oozing. keiichi is a whole lot like me, so i could understand his way of showing his emotions. honestly, to me, he made a very daring move. he told rio to say "i like you" to shingo, and asked his older brother to apologize to shingo for everything. rio even said keiichi said to "just forget about it" towards his older brother. this, in one way, proves that he had no intentions of them revealing that he was the one who told them to say these two things. he took the chance, not for his own benefit, but to make sure shingo was well taken care of. of course, he's an idiot and gave the ring to his older brother to give to shingo when he clearly knows his brother has no patience whatsoever (but that's what makes his brother adorable). another daring move he made was to tell shingo to give the ring back to him and to put it on shingo himself. this, if not only protectiveness and "ownership", shows love and the will and preparation for a long-term relationship with shingo. as keiichi's older brother has said (or someone else), keiichi chose shingo, even though he may be troublesome. keiichi never stopped loving shingo in his own way.
also, it fucking broke me when shingo cried ok. he rarely cries (except during their making love) and shows his emotions (he does, but not a lot) BUT WHEN HE CRIED, AND THE ATMOSPHERE, OH GOD. i feel as if the mangaka has went through it before, y'know? she captured not only pain, but the temporary self-loath of making the wrong choice and being unable to really voice out your thoughts along with the overflowing bittersweet love shingo felt. it's kind of really sad. that moment seemed as if it was drawn to reflect her emotions for a second- but yeah, that's just my thoughts.
ALSO!! THE SUPPORTING CHARACTERS!! they aren't here as extras. they're here as someone to give the two main characters the push and conscious they need. i love it.
oh, oh, and also. i find no problem whatsoever with the manga ending with them making love. it's not sex, y'know. shingo got to smell keiichi's scent and it got a lot sweeter from the last time he could smell it, and during this sexual intercourse, they interacted and loved each other, embraced each other and accepted the other. well, from my pov of course.

oh my god. i could have cried with the overflowing feelings of happiness and trainquility being all mixed up inside of me. IT'S JUST- I WANT THIS RELATIONSHIP. i can't even make a relationship last for over 4 months and they last for over 6 years? with such pure feelings? and sincerity? AND EFFORT. THE EFFORT. OH GOD. THAT EFFORT IS TO BE LOVED AND ADMIRED. i really can't. if only there are more people like this. and i just really like how the mangaka doesn't cut off the friendship between hideo and sera. it's a lot more realiistic, since i wouldn't have cut things off with my friend if this happened to me instead. BUT YEAH. THEY'RE JUST- U G H. AMAZING.

i've read this so many times, and it never fails to choke me up and make me cry oceans. taisei and okachimachi both are just so- UGH. RELATIONSHIP
GOALS.

this manga is so incredibly adorable. i've re-read it plenty of times, and it still gives me the warm and happy feelings. so many people are upset with kira-kun for continuing his job as an av actor (or as many as you so bluntly put, a porn actor). personally, i never really thought something like that was wrong because:
a. kazuaki himself clearly stated he doesn't want kira-kun to quit his job. if kazuaki is alright with being with kira-kun while he has the job, then that's wonderful. he trusts kira-kun loads. plus, he loves that side of kira-kun (the side that loves his job because in more ways than one, he got his dream job as an actor).
b. in the end, kazuaki dreamed of their future- a future where kira-kun is still there with him, supporting him with a bouquet of roses. this proves that kira-kun's job does nothing that could affect their relationship negatively (and even if kazuaki got jealous, he did ask for kira-kun to 'comfort' him).
c. kira-kun is clearly in love with kazuaki. kazuaki was the first to make him feel what it felt to really 'make love' with your true love. despite being able to know his bed partners (and av colleagues') weak spots, no one really did found his until he made love with kazuaki. kazuaki did nothing, he didn't find his weak spots or weakened his knees when kazuaki gave him a fellatio and such, but kazuaki did give him warmth and a fullfilled heart.
d. kira-kun had his own chapter, where he stated that "if my job is my way of living, then everything else belongs to you". this being said, kira-kun's job and his personal relationships are all separate (excluding the fact kira-kun annoyed everyone on set, saying it was a fated meeting he had with kazuaki). his job is his way of living, it isn't as if he's married to the job or he's in love with sex and loves his job. it's a way he goes through everyday, doing something that's his dream job (and i'm super jealous since i want my dream job to come true, too). many disagree, saying that their loved one is only suppose to have sex with them and such. that's true, for all of you who are easily jealous or have a temper or is simply possessive but kazuaki, even though he was jealous, is a matured adult who is understanding and knows where is his place (which is on the same pedestal as kira-kun's dream job a.k.a his number one, probably). above all, he is incredibly supportive of kira-kun. besides, their relationship isn't based on physical things and possessiveness. they know how to separate work and their personal lives. this relationship? is stable. it's amazingly stable, and is probably the relationship everyone dreams of (namely me).
and, who else here wants a story for natsumi-chan? she's an amazing side character in here, and i think she deserves a boyfriend or a girlfriend (whichever her preference is).

this manga is really refreshing- in some ways, of course. for one, it really just shows that there are plenty of people out there, but not a majority. plus, this manga gives the feeling of a pleasant closure, so there were none of those "what the fuck? no, no, NO. go back, change the manga. mangaka, re-do this. i do not approve of this." feelings. it doesn't give a necessarily fluffy, happy ending, but it did give a warm, overwhelming and sacred one (at least for me).

i've already read this manga countless times before a long time ago, and i'm here again, but i want to read this chapter first: takaba (?) got kidnapped by the chinese dude, was held captive, played with, etc. and at the end, the chinese dude and asami made a trade off (i think the chinese dude was given a chip?) but stuff eventually went south, shit happened, people got hurt and in the end takaba was saved and they had sex in the car (?) or somewhere. i'm not sure but takaba was really scared and asami was just relieved to have takaba back in his arms.
can anyone help me find that chapter? i want to read the happy part, since i'm not sure if i can handle the anger and sadness and twisted feelings this manga gives me for a while now. u n u

does anyone have the link to a scanlated version of the couples included in the valentine day extra and the often-seen extra of yamada-kun and his small section chief? i want to read. ; n ;

imo. i didn't get a thing and had to reread many times, and there was also a page where i think they translated it wrongly? it's understandable, since kanji, hiragana and katagana is difficult to translate but the grammar... q n q other than that, i actually liked this manga. it's not something for those who dream of a romantic, fluffy love. it's for those who have felt what being cheated felt like, but also what misunderstanding is like. also, nowadays, honestly, there's a lot of relationships where the partners cheat on each other, be it the man or woman. i think this is wonderful because in the end, the seme still went back to the uke despite his work as a host. bonus? he isn't /that/ popular because he doesn't say he loves his clients, and only says it to the uke. to be frank, even i'd feel like hurting my partner if he were to ever do to me what the uke did, but also, that doesn't mean i wouldn't have whacked myself for doing shit to my partner's feelings. this whole manga is a mess of conflicting feelings, but it's a happy ending, so all's good for me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

i just finished reading the first book of this story while i've read the second book (this one.) for quite a while already. all in all, even during the first time i read it with lack of knowledge on both characters, i really adored this manga. i prefer a fluffy and light read (comedy yaoi/shounen ai, mostly.) but this manga really stuck on me. it really drills it into your head about how even the person who never acts like they have went through a traumatizing experience (in this case, seeing your mother being raped by a man you probably trusted since he was touji's father's assistant.) could be right beside you, smiling so happily because you're beside them. it's a sad thing, because when you find out this hidden part of them, you just then realize how little you actually know them. this pairing has a long way to go in the yaoi world, and they are amazing at being together. thanks sensei, for being a miracle worker once again.
