I didn't guess that Tatsumi was telling teachers what is going on--not to stop it, but to get them on his side. The alumni proves they all know anyway.
yep,they all do. I'm worried about azusa,that perv teacher can blackmail him now,he can use his mother as a tool since they will inform their parents about what happened . Can't wait for the next chap
That's true--but I hope that it's just Karino, Tatsumi, and Senzaki that get pulled in. Asuza was only cheering.
I usually don't like stories that are too sweet, but this works for me. We've all seen the "misunderstanding keeps hot couple apart for years" plot, but this was well done and I love the characters. Pervy Dr. Minori really cares about Souta--and Minori will sacrifice and punish himself if he thinks that is good for Souta. Souta isn't having it. Souta is strong, persistent, and calls Minori out on his crap. It's perfect. And it's hot. Okay, so it gets fluffy--it's still really good.
I really like how dark and messed up this is without being unbalanced. Sometimes, there are twisted stories I really enjoy, but there is one person (usually the uke) who gets shit on and another (usually the seme) who is untouchable (save, perhaps, for a secret weakness for the other). In those cases, I can't help but wish once in a while the tables would turn, and the "untouchable" would find out what it's like to be crapped on, or at least acknowledge they were acting like shit (not just "sorry they hurt the other", but saying they were wrong). Of course. most of the time things just stay one way, and that's fine, really. But I do like a story with balance, even though I prefer twisted to fluffy.
In this story, Rogi lives in a messed up world where people are brutal and he apparently never had morals as such anyway. He's done some really crappy things. But he also knows what it's like to be the one shit on. He's been through a lot. He's paid his dues. And he has real feelings, so he's not a sociopath. He was sincere with the writer, still carries unrequited love, and his daughter is everything. This is a man with heart--a messed up, dark, SM man who uses others cruelly, but still a man with heart. And he's hot.
I think I will really enjoy this story.
eh, this really isn't dark and twisted. if you wanna know what's dark and messed up, read itou-san or caste heaven. stories by this author always end up being sweet and fluffy.
Twisted is relative. By dark, I don't mean I'm looking for a depressing ending. I like a happy ending. To me, fluffy is when there is a sticky-sweet approach to the romance. This story is about a rapist who is in the yakuza, and has already shown us the MC's love blowing his brains out in front of the MC while playing Russian Roulette during BDSM sex, and the MC masturbating to his new love while the old love's corpse has not yet cooled. That is not fluffy. To me, it's not a happy ending that makes something fluffy--it's the whole content.
I love Scarlett so far. Her yuri stories strike me as fluffy, but then I have a hard time with most yuri for the same reason. For me, her yaoi hits the right balance of dark elements and complex characters with the desire to see the characters I like be happy in the end.
But to each her own. I like Caste Heaven a lot too.
So if you had to pick a theme song for your favorite side character, what would it be?
I would pick Spy in the House of Love by Was (Not Was) for Kuroda.

I like old songs:
The nightingale by Julee Cruise for: Feilong, Yoh and Tao
https://youtu.be/c8MLRVsoE8w
Aww..that has a great vibe.
Your Love Is The Greatest Gift Of All by Michelle Wright for: Asami and Takaba.
"You're So Vain" for Sudou
Hee hee. I like that.
Off to the races by Lana del ray for akihito and asami (sorry the're not side characters, I just thought the song suited them) (❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Just thought of one for Sakazaki - "I 'm Too Sexy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5mtclwloEQ - maybe
People will do as they do. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
LOL That fits.
Lol, Tokidoki, I swear that was the the first thought I had when I saw AG's opening post. :D Great minds think alike!
Not for a a specific character, but you just have to throw Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" in there somewhere. ;) Not the exact lyrics as such, but the song and the sensual vibe...
ASAMI: At first I thought of Salt N Pepa feat En Vogue - "Whatta Man"? *grins* Just kidding. No, the song I would choose for him is by French singer Guesch Partie - "Etienne". That song was hot as f... The English translation is incredibly tame, the french lyrics are so much more erotic. But you will get the general idea... ;)

AKIHITO: Considering Akihito's strength and resiliance and given all that he's been through, maybe Destiny's Child - "Survivor".
Btw, Sara Bareilles - "Gravity" might have been a nice choice for that time when Akihito tried to run away from Asami, as it deals with the complexity of relationships. Again, not the exact words so much and not for their relationship in general, but the vibe of the song seemed to go along with Akihito's downcast mood at the time. Plus, it's a gorgeous song. :)

Sexual healing!
Great choices. I think Sexual Healing works for the island time.
I like Musicals, so I thought Unusual Way from Nine would fit Feilong...and then there's Goldeneye. And speaking of James Bond songs, Nobody does it better wouldn't be too bad a fit for Akihito.
As for Asami...

(≧∀≦) 'Macho man' fits better with Sakazaki in my opinion. Probably it may sound weird but the song: ' You belong to the city' by Glenn Frey, always make me think about Asami (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Oh yes, especially if you watch the video - "Fred" is as smarmy as Sakazaki LOL
Oooh, you're right! Hadn't even thought of that! :)
Lol, he is - what I loved about these lads was the fact that they never pretended to be any good or have an ounce of talent. They were very deprecative about it all with a little wink and a grin on the side.
Oooooooooh, yes! "You belong to the city" is such a perfect one for Asami. Great choice, Lady! :) And I LOVE that song.
Speaking of James Bond... How about "To live and let die?" Another great Bond tune fitting for Asami. :)
Just remembered another nice one for Asami: Sting - "Moon over Bourbon Street". :)
'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness, beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street.♩
These lyrics are just so, so perfect. :)
I had to look that up--but it's good.
I like "Pacify her" by Melanie Martinez for Sudou
<3 I see your "I'm Too Sexy" and raise you "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyx6JDQCslE
I love Sakazaki, so he deserves twice the sexy comedy. <3
OMG that 'wiggle' was too funny (you could not take your eyes off it) - you win
LOL If I were a man, that's exactly how I would live my life. I'd helicopter all over the place LOL
Oi! Too much information! (kidding) That video was so over the top funny, but is it sad of me to say that I wish it had been anime instead of real people? That I prefer the 2D to 3D? These guys were so smarmy, that I would never want to meet them in real life ...
Sadly, often it is not an option. It's best to laugh.
Yesssssss! Just the visuals in my head of that whole video in 2D with my favorite smarmy characters... Makes me wish I was a one-woman animation team.
Ahahahaha - can you see Asami in a thong shaking his groove thang? Or - here I betray some of my ships - Roy Mustang, or Abel Nightroad, Byakuya Kuchki, or Kanda Yuu? Aieeeee!
OMG! Can I see it??? Can I???? And Aki needs to be the photographer. Bam. There's the plot for the next alternate reality...
Challenge accepted - take a peek ... http://www.mangago.zone/home/album/3878/
better link . .. http://www.mangago.zone/home/photo/838558/
Epic!! And I think we completely hijacked this thread. Worth it.
LOL. I officially give the conversation permission to go wherever it wants to go.
Honestly, I never thought I'd ever see the words "Asami", "thong" and "groove thang" in one sentence. ;)
Did you have a peek at the picture of Asami in a thong? I drew it myself - so it is not great, but it is pretty funny - now if only I could turn it into a gif and have him actually shake it ....
Opps - see reply below - my computer bumped me out of reply to you
Woot! Let the madness continue!! You're awesome!
If you made that a gif... I would post it EVERYWHERE! It would be the next best thing since sliced bread. Oh the visuals!! Life is good. Maybe I should grab a gif maker and give it a go :D If Asami were real, I'm pretty sure he'd kill us... thinking Aki would appreciate our efforts though :P
Makes ya feel the warm fuzzies inside, right?
Oooh yesss, sister! :D
You drew that?!? That is AMAZING, tokidoki!!! I can't even manage drawing a kitten, I'm completely pathetic in that sense. Incredibly well done and that's quite a talent you have, girl. :)
Um, I am an artist, (I have a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts) but I did not draw Asami - just the thong - the Asami model is one of the paper dolls that was released recently (I could draw him if I had time though)
That would be great. I can't download anything on my computer - I am just borrowing it until I can afford to fix my own computer, But a wiggling Asami gif would be hilarious!
That's awesome! ヾ(☆▽☆)
Well, Tokidoki, in that case: It's still a very nice *ahem* thong! ;)
Well Silencia is considering turning it into a gif, to show that wiggle thang, so IT might get even *ahem* nicer ...
Oh boy, I'm laughing so hard just picturing that, Tokidoki... :D The creative energy of the Finder community never ceases to amaze me!
I enjoyed the analogy of high heels to foot binding and the fairy tale reference. It's a subtly subversive statement if you think about it.
Whatever happened to make Momo's mother the way she is, the fact is she is 100% at fault for not protecting her son, blaming the child, and then selling the child to rapists repeatedly. Instead of recognizing that she was in the wrong and begging for forgiveness, the woman intrudes on her son's life just when he starts to be happy to ask for a ring--not forgiveness, a ring. She makes accusations, and when he reacts with anger (as he should) she lashes out and says things to hurt him.
She's *still* hurting him.
I don't know if her trauma made her narcissistic, or if she has borderline personality disorder, or is a psychopath--but it doesn't matter. No doubt she is so absorbed in her own pain and so concerned about herself she doesn't even think she is wrong to hurt her child just to make herself feel better. The fact that she is in pain in no way makes her less culpable for her actions. She is still actively hurting him. She needs to go.
i think the ring was an excuse to meet momo
I do too--but the fact is she isn't taking responsibility for being wrong and apologizing--she's being manipulative, thinking of her own needs and emotions, and continuing to hurt him.
She was 100% in the wrong and unless she acknowledges that and takes steps to try to change, there is no way she is not still toxic.
I agree. She's just hurting him in a different way now, but she's still being selfish and self absorbed as hell. Momo can see how insincere she is.
Plus she was happy to be rid of him--and never cared if he was starving, freezing, or being continually raped. She abandoned him for a "happy married life." She flaunts her ring. She flaunts that she has no money trouble.
So, you've been living well while your son has been a semen toilet for all the men he's had to depend on to survive. Nice, lady. Go and fucking die.
Lets' take a minute to reflect on the fact that Aki mentioned how cold it was the night before all this happened. Aki was on the phone to Asami outside of the club, he was fully dressed and wearing a coat, and he said, "It's cold." Now Aki has been stuck outside on the roof in his undies forever and it's gotta be freezing! Asami is naturally hot-blooded, and I think even his nipples are kind of showing too. Arron brought a coat. Arron would.
Poor Aki--those legs have to be about blue by now.
Ewww and all goose pimply. I hate that ╥﹏╥
Kirshima had tents in the helicopter, with extra clothes. He is always prepared. they are a little big on Takaba. now Arron is the one who is suffering. I hear it's hot in Tokyo. Wearing a coat in summer must be tough. hahaha.
Nah, goosebumps won't happen when your adrenaline is running high (for Aki at least) Asamis skin would never dare show that kind of weakness!LOL
I am glad Yata talked about how strong Momo is instead of just pitying him. Momo tried to play it off as if he had just been asking for pity, but Yata told Momo that Momo was strong--and Yata revealed that Yata felt weak. And Yata, who has the sex-drive of a thousand rabbits, wanted to hold hands and just be close. This is one of the sexiest scenes I have seen.
totally agree. I'm so happy we saw this side of him because now I can like him. Hopefully Momo will start living his life and let the past go (which means stay away from his so called "mom") and let's hope for a happy ending. Maybe she will commit suicide (it would be a good ending for her character...and nope,I won't feel any kind of pity,but talking about the story line it would be a good way for her to go )
This chapter is the second time we've ever seen Karino lose it and act emotionally (instead of coolly plotting). It happened earlier in their timeline than when he really lost it and went after Azusa for framing him, but it involved Tatsumi asking if Karino was serious about Azusa. Karino doesn't coolly laugh and say, "As if" or pass it off as nothing. He grabs Tatsumi violently and says, "Not a bit--and you have nothing to say about it!" Methinks the king protests too much. This doesn't mean that Karino is in love or anything, just that there is probably more going on under the surface than we can see. Sure, his expression of emotion seems to fluctuate between bullying sadism and rare angry outburst--but he isn't as emotionally dead as Tatsumi thinks.
I just want him literally dead. One character I'd be happy to see buried.
