Sorry but I have to disagree with you. First things first, it's Jinno who wouldn't stop staring at Eichi and consider how rude it was if someone just wouldn't stop staring at you without planning to initiate a conversation. Of course you would start to wonder just wth is going on inside that person's head. Secondly, Eichi was assaulted but he didn't hate it so much cuz duh it's yaoi you will find it enjoyable even if you are being raped. But the thing is hun, Eichi just didn't understand why would Jinno do that in the first place. Some people are like that, they want a clear clarification. Otherwise there would be only misunderstanding between the parties. And it was clear that he didn't want to become sex friends so he asked Jinno whether or not he loved him. But he was not satisfied with Jinno's answer. Why? Because he was feeling used by Jinno, thought he was only aiming for his body. Nobody likes being used especially if it comes from the one you care about.
1 -> My post is about Slapping, use of violence instead of words for no reason, Change of Behavior. You brought a lot of things up non related to it. So lets focus on it.
Lets Start : There were two situations when Eichi slapped Jino, situation one : *After theyve done a lot of CONSENSUAL perve stuff together (Eichi was enjoying it a lot)* Jino asked for a kiss and then Eichi slapped him hard enough to leave a mark, do you think this is right? Couldnt Eichi just say "No" ?? in what world slapping him on the face is better/ more effective than the use of words in this situation? We live in 21 century there is no need to use violence when words can solve the situation better, you can yell, sue, argue but do not ever make use for violence unless youre in a situation words cant solve. We are no longer vikings, this is so immature (12 years old).
Situation 2 : *they doing consensual perve stuff yet again* Eichi asks if Jinno loves him, he says "I dont know". I ask again in what world slapping is a better solution than talking??? Couldnt he just convey his feelings/ explain the situation to Jinno like he DID later on? Why hit him?He also could just say "get the fuck out", again immature (12 years old).
About the change on his behavior : In chapter one he was proactive,agressive(not in the violent way), resolved. Like I said I liked that Eichi, he had a problem in his hands (Jin's staring) so he went and tried to solve it, then all of the sudden he became wishy washy with toughts like "I cant get near Jinno, I have to stay away from him bla bla bla" even though we all know he liked and ejoyed the night with him, I liked your argument about some people needing confirmation, since Im not one of those people I coudlnt understand, now I can Thanks. But this alone doesnt explain the slapping instead of talking nor why he was trying to avoid Jinno instead of just talk things out like a 20 years old matured person would do instead of behaving like a 12 years old one, avoiding the problem/ trying to solve it through slapping. The only situation where slapping Jinno would be ok is when he was being forceful on chapter 1, but Eichi didint since like you said he was enjoying it. If you still think that slappinp/running from the problem(avoid) is better than talking things out like an adult then Ill just assume we do have different opinions, to me slap people and run away from them is what a 12 years old spoiled little child would do to solve things. Jinno being forcefull in chapter 1 do not give Eichi the right to slap him whenever he wants in other random situatios (he couldve slaped him in chapter one though, since words wouldnt go through and Jinno was making use of force), one mistake will not ever justify another let alone 2 others, also when you "feel used" by someone you do not have the right to hit them EVER, you can put your feelings into words and solve the problem, thats what any matured adult should do.
TL;DR
He was wish washy cause he kept running away from Jinno even thought he knew he liked/enjoyed to be with him, he kept avoiding the situation/problem instead of talking things out like an adult would. All the slapping has no meaning whatsoever since words/talking (like an adult) on both situations wouldve solved the problem waaaaaayyyy better. You free to think that slapping people in -->those two specific situations(since this is what my topic is about) <-- is a better way to solve things than talking, to me an adult would talk things out, a child would hit also an adult would never avoid/run away/hide from anyone they would just talk things out. Talking(Adult) would solve all his problems better than Slapping/hiding(12 years old).
Adult/ matured people solve their problems by talking, they dont use violence, this is what words are for, also they dont run away from their problems they just face them.
Wishy washy childs (12 years old) solve their problems by hiting/slapping people on their faces, play hide and seek with their problems instead of facing them. Thats pretty much what Eichi did : Slap, run, hide, Slap, run, hide until finally in the end he behaved like a proper adult should and conveyed his feelings through words and guees what? Their problem was solved yay! There is no need for slapping/hiding whatsoever. Hitting people especially on their Faces is such a nasty thing to do, its not pretty at all, its just childish. This manga is still good even though Eichi acted like a child most of the times, 4 Stars.
totally agree!! i wrote a similar comment above lol
I really liked Eichi in chapter 1, he seemed agressive he even teased Jin-chan in many ways, and then out of nowhere he became a wishy washy little girl , slapping Jinno's face over and over again and asking for "I Love you" words ugh. I get its important to say I love you but most of the times you can just feel someones love and in time they gonna say it by themselves you dont need to force it. He said something like "if you say you love me you can have me(sex)" wtf? 12 years old wishy washy little girl right there. Also you should never slap someone's face for no good reason, thats what words are for, just say you dont like it. I mean he slapped Jinno because he asked for a kiss !! Why would you slap someone you doing perve things with because of this ??????????????????? Then he slapped him again because he answered "I dont know" ?????????????????????????? Btw a man hardly ever slap another man, they just staight up PUNCH them. So yeah it seems to me the author just turned Eichi into a 12 years old spoiled little girl, cause as we all have seen in many mangas it seems in Japan is just normal for a girl to slap a guy for no good reason (at least in mangas it is). That being said I still enjoyed this one it was good/hot and worth reading Thanks! Good manga but it could have been better if only Eichi was actually a 20~ years old MAN.
Ps: This is MY OPINION not the absolute/unanimous truth
