Oh, that is easy if you have photoshop. I can do that in my sleep. Granted, I am a graphic designer, so there is that. Still learning the cock and a**hole drawing though, so that I can help other mangas get rid of the invisible/lightsaber dick in the future.

Could you recimend some programs to do comics?

Adobe Photoshop is my go to. Scan the drawings in and you can even clean them up and ink them in there, or you can scan in the completed inks and just start the color process. I am an avid Adobe user, and Photoshop is my favorite program of all, as it has a great many tools and I know it extremely well. SO many things you can do with it.

really??? because I wanna do a comic but Im just a fan & my career has nothing to do with arts so... haha I have it pretty difficult but I believe nothing is impossible!(￣∇￣") well thanks a lot, I'll try it.

Good luck! Too bad you aren't in Nebraska. I'd help ya out!

Is ot ppssible to download photoshop for free without it expiring after 30 days of free trial?

Whoops i mean, "is it possible..."

Unfortunately not. You would need to either buy it outright or buy a monthly cloud subscription to it. Sorry. And as for free programs, the few that I am familiar with are not gonna give you that kind of high quality coloring.

Oh...thanks for the info! I really wanna learn so I may as well buy one then.

Glad to help. Let me know if you need any tips or pointers!

I'll keep that in mind . Thanks again!

I think he got mad because Akihito kind of admited that he tried to runaway from Asami.

While he wants a partner who is beneath him in status, one who he can control and own. He want the partner to not WANT that, he wants him to resist
When Akihito said that, he was submitting willingly, which is not what Asami wants. He's mad because that is against Akihito's 'spirited nature', which seems to be the sole thing he likes about him
What a fucking shitbag. Honestly, Asami doesn't deserve good things

tldr Asami is a psychotic sociopath.

I have more or less the same idea about Asami... but he is such a seductive psycopath. (≧∀≦) ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ lol

How I read it is that Asami hates the idea of Akihito being with him only because he's locked up. He wanted him to admit wanting to be with him.

I don't think so. Why would anyone want to admit being with someone who openly sees them as being subservient, and treats him like a dog? Sure Asami is higher is status, but why doesn't have to treat him the way he does. He chooses to.
The worse thing is, from that page Asami is mad because Akihito is starting to LIKE it (stokholm syndrome ppl). He wants Akihito to endure his degradation and always resist it.
What the fuck..?
The cherry on top is that the guy is supposedly the love of his life.. Asami must have every mental illness there is in the book.

Well that's not how i read it ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Also Akihito didn't seem to really resist in their latest smexy bed moment, and Asami didn't look bothered at all, they seemed pretty happy (well except when he got worried as to whether nor Sudou did things to him, I think we can give him he's quite the jealous type aha). So I don't think Asami doesn't want Akihito to enjoy it, if anything it was the frustration that Akihito didn't get that he wanted to be with him, something along those lines (⊙…⊙ )

Akihito never seems to resist, ever. And Asami as always is a block of stone. When you look at the context it's totally unrealistic.
The sex scenes moat of the time seem out of place in the story being told.
I've said it many times, it's a waste of time applying logic here, there's far too many inconsistencies and plot holes.

To be fair, this is yaoi, sex scenes there must be anytime there's the opportunity to ╮(￣▽￣)╭

This seems to be some sort of cross between shonen and yaoi. But then she must please both types of people, the ones who prefer its shonenesque side (who just want to see the story flowing), and those who prefer its yaoiesque side (who complain when it's been too long that there has been sex). Usually in yaoi it's mostly romance and sex (yaoi), so it blends better, but here she does with what she can aha.

Actually whenever I buy an issue of Beboy Gold, Finder seems so out of place as practically every other series in there has a sex scene of some sort every chapter.

Tbh I just assumed there was an error in the translation lol

Well now that you mention it, my french copy translated Akihito's 'Then it was pointless for me to try and leave you' as 'Then... I won't be able to move away from you anymore?'

Actually this chapter was supposed to be from Asami's POV, but sensei had personal troubles around that time (I think it was the death of his father?) and so because of certain circumstances she couldn't do it, which also why the chapter is so short.

It probably suffered from that...

This shot of Takaba is one of out series. It is one of a long standing fight in which Takaba himself baits Asami into action. If you look at Takaba's face, it shows no real fear. I think Takaba wanted to reafirmation, in his own way, Asami's feeling for him with a bout of rough sex. he knew it was coming. Takaba likes it that way from time to time. In my op. Takaba is a sub. in the bedroom. He gets off when Asami plays the Dom. role.He wants this show of emotion from Asami as a sign that he was missed. I don't agree that Asami is a psychotic sociopath. His actions have never pulled any one outside of the underworld per/se. his cold outside matches what he does.We have never seen him out killing people w/o cause or enacting damage in a crazed manner on civis. Even the "rape" of Takaba, when they first met, was punishment for Takaba trying to expose his operation. He did not grab some one off the street and proceed to attack them. His actions fit what he does. He's an underground kingpin. He better be tuff or he would have no chance of survive. Takaba is with Asami bec. he wants to be. He likes Asami's blood and bullets(excitement) lifestyle as much as Asami does. Takaba is a man that jumped off a building to get away from the them, them turns around and goes back for more. No one questions his motives or disorders. Both their actions fit who they are.If Asami was not an underworld kingpin and was running around carrying guns ect. ect. thinking ppl were after him then you could say he was just plain crazy.

-I don't believe Akihito is a sub. He doesn't exactly have a choice when it comes to Asami, the guy is raping him after all. He's probably Bi because we've seen his interest in girls. I can actually see him top Asami if the relationship was equal. There was that extra where he ties Asami up, if that's not proof that he isn't a sub then you're picking and choosing what to see.
- "his actions never pulled any one outside of the underworld" What has that got to do with being a psychotic sociopath? Seems like you don't know the meaning of the term. Actually calling Asami one is probably giving him too much credit as a character, because in reality he's barely been fleshed out to know him properly.
-Anyway he DID pull an innocent civilian into the underworld, putting him at risk of attack and kidnapping by his many enemies. He's a photographer with ambitions, do you really think those ambitions include being kidnapped by mafia x y & z? Absolutely not. What kind of messed up person do you think he is?? Did you even see him during the Hong Kong arc, he was literally suicidal at one point. I guess that's how people show their enjoyment and I'm detached from reality.
"He did not grab some one off the street and proceed to attack them." LEL. That's EXACTLY what he did.
-He didn't want to be with Asami in the beginning, Asami is the one who pursued him to the point of stalking. Yea he's all Stockholm syndrome-y now, but that was later on.

Not only are you saying Akihito DESERVES to be raped, you're not even calling rape. LOL you are deranged. I pretty much stopped taking you seriously at that point.

I also think like you after re-read , re-read , and re-read...

Agreed. If you continue to read into the next chapter, it becomes clear. After the rough sex, Akihito is lolling rather happily in bed. But Asami is in the shower, standing with the water off, arms braced on the walls, head hanging, face grim. He's still unhappy, unsatisfied.

This mood persists throughout the conversation between Asami and Kuroda. Asami is distracted, makes offhand comments, only really gives Kuroda proper attention when Kuroda begins to insult Aki.

But Asami's mood doesn't improve until after Kuroda leaves and Aki reveals that he saw Sudou crying on Asami's shoulder and Asami realizes that Aki is jealous. Up until that point, Asami was not sure of Aki. He needed to know that Aki was with him because Aki wanted to be there, and the appearance of the green-eyed monster does it. The mood lifts and Asami grins for two whole entire pages. It's a revelation for him.

Yes, that's how I saw it.

But if Asami ever sees Aki as a pet, it's established that pet is a cat and not a dog. There is a huge difference. Cat's are independent and not obedient. They do what they want to do, and allow you to pet them if you are worthy.

Whoa, you just opened my eyes there. I've been rereading those parts but Asami being a bit insecure did not came across my mind..

I think the way I understand Asami, if that's how he wanted Akihito to be is probably because he's sick of always getting what he wants. Akihito rejuvenates (what? why did I think of that word?) Asami. If Asami would want anything in his life going against him, he wanted that in his personal space and that would be Akihito.

Yes! That's what I loved about the neko extra. I thought it was a perfect expression of Asami's subconscious view of the relationship.

It took me awhile to get it and I think it's sensei's fault for making Asami too hot. Because the scene hangs on that moment in the shower. But it's a scene in the shower and Asami is naked and water is dripping off of him! That makes it really hard to pay attention to what's actually going on. But if you look at that page with cool pragmatism, you can see how careful she was to show you that Asami first turns off the water and then stands there, dripping and brooding. He may have just gotten some, but it wasn't what he really needed.

The thing that got me curious is: If the all cat thing is Asami's dream (and fantasies), what is Fei doing in that fantasy, too? Oo

yes THAT it , that why i say before. I get it after re-read , re-read and may re-read LOL and after I know what going on there , on word out is GYAAAAAAAAAAAA

No, you are fucking stupid.
He's a cat because neko-chan is a common slang for the bottom in a gay relationship, specifically a bdsm one.
Characters wearing cat ears is a very common feature in yaoi and hentai. Majority of the time by the girls and ukes.
There's no deeper meaning to it than that, especially not one signifying that he is "independent and not obedient"

Someone's easily triggered here ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Err not really, that idiot is spreading her misinformed headcanon around and the people here are stupid enough to eat it up.

The only stupid one here is the person who thinks a trope can't be a metaphor.

But why getting mighty triggered for just that lol?

So you have never seen yaoi where ukes were portrayed as dog like?

Akihito being a cat is not a metaphor for him being 'independent and obedient'. Are you blind when you read that chapter? He was the most docile and obedient cat in existence. Far from independent. In fact he was more like a dog in that chapter than a cat, personality wise. The chapter was fanservice, nothing more.

@Anoni Grrl what exactly does your question mean? You mean like a dog personality wise, or appearance (dog ears)

...I like the way you're thinking (¬‿¬)

I think I posted this before: What's doing Fei in Asami's fantasy world? Oo Besides that, I think Asami was only having a sweet dream full of tenderness in behalf of a person who inspires him that kind of feelings.

Yea I agree, there is no deeper meaning in that extra. People are reading too much into it

And I saw you post about it before too. Maybe we're also reading too much into it or maybe implies that Asami has dreams and fantasies of Feilong, including ones where Fei is his pet
( ° ʖ °)

Asami thinks about people he cares (or cared) about as feline pets, good to know. I love Asami's wild imagination. ^_^

When it comes to a "dog" or "cat" uke, personality and appearance often go together. Both types of "dog" ukes indicate that neko or cat imagery do not always only have to mean uke or submissive, and that cat or dog characters may be chosen to show aspects of the individual's personality rather than to stick solely to yaoi fangirl usage of "neko" within a certain context. For example, here we see a seme catboy and a uke dogboy:

And here we see a sub uke wearing dog ears and a collar to please his master:

Those dog ukes are different than cat ukes. Choosing dog or cat makes a difference. Of course sometimes it's just for cute (like the bunny ears thing). But it can involve personality.

As for the Aki's cat-like behavior, you can interpret it as you want, but I saw Aki pretend he wasn't waiting for Asami when he was obviously doing just that, want to play when Asami was on the phone, and instead of being quiet and staying when ordered, he went in the kitchen and made a mess because Asami would not give him attention when he wanted it. These are all both cat like and in line with how we have seen Aki act in the story.

If you train your dog well, you can tell him to sit, stay, and be quiet and he will. But your cat will want to play when you are working, or on the phone, or busy. Cats don't sit and stay when you tell them to be quiet and stop. They go and knock something over. And they are not sorry either. Of course you should fuss over them and spoil them anyway. It's their due.

I think if Asami wanted someone doglike and obedient, he'd have gone for Sudou's act of subservience. Asami chased Aki in the first place because Asami likes a challenge. But if you like the story better when you interpret Asami as wanting doglike obedience, go ahead and enjoy that way of seeing it.

Can't have it both ways. (And I knew that was you. Forgot you were signed in?)

wut ^
I'm not sure what you mean. Elaborate.

My retard-level English comprehension skills tell me that she's suspecting you to be nekomantic ;P

Same here
