Naturally, but I was more touching on how Asami (as a fictional character, RL aside) shows and styles himself to be a certain way, so impeccably perfect - with scores of people either falling in love with him or proclaiming their undying loyalty to him etc. You would never guess he's all the shady things he is, or that he has such a cruel and almost primeval side to him. I'm just saying I find him really interesting and I adore seeing these different sides to people.
For example in this manga, the duality of character when he's interacting with Sudoh, his men, Fei Long for example - to how he interacts with Akihito when they're alone - I love that change, the unbuttoned, disheveled side to him too that is so far removed from the image he shows the rest of the world….
Like in this scene http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/you_re_my_loveprize_in_viewfinder/mh/v06/c035/14/
(a rare unguarded moment here and it's like; who would imagine such a seemingly well-to-do, powerful, untouchable man - that let's face it, people would most-likely normally assume is straight - who would imagine that he would be actually balls deep in some guy, in his kitchen, totally blissed out and losing his mind f**ing like bunnies?) I can't explain it well but it's like then you have that side - but then you also get the super dangerous side to him as well, and so many others. He's a very compelling character.
I'm also actually very interested in gang, yakuza and mafia culture in RL though - so yes I appreciate that this manga touches upon it! (a tiny, weeny bit) - wow, sorry for the essay! I ramble when tired Σ( ￣□￣||)
He is a compelling character, but I see RL parallels, like Bugsy Siegal, Al Capone and Don Corleone ... sophisticated, well dressed, charismatic hard asses who probably had their softer sides well hidden.
Very well said.
Thanks, RB. :)
U are welcome. I am looking forward to this. New plot, all the men of viewfinder present. what could be better.
Ooooh yes, I'm with you on that one, sister! :) This is basically the kind of plot I have been waiting for (and it has only taken a decade to come about *g* ).
That earlier post about Biblical Yaoi themed depravity gots' me thinkin'….
that there must be something wrong with me after all - because I found this chapter exceptionally sexy AF. I mean, there's just something about Asami and all those manly men sitting around watching someone getting interrogated bloody for information…….
And hell -! Fei Long slipping his phone into Asami's pocket like that???????? Oh. Freaking. Boy! ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ Anyone else?
Basically a very, very good new chapter, I have very high hopes for this Arc now
(๑•ㅂ•)و✧ the more blood and gore, and sadistic Asami the better!
