You're very kind person. I look through some raws and Rikka attitude's annoying me so much. I can't say for sure that Kuro's love for Rikka is only platonic. The whole manga explained that Rikka's his first love and he still loves her. The thing that Kuro will never cross the line because he holds strong morals and conservative value. It's just his first gf is the somewhat the sub for Rikka. When his first gf said the one who Kuro really loves is Rikka, Kuro didn't deny but said it's impossible coz Rikka's his cousin. It's sure romantic love. He can't control his feelings but his acts. I think that's more than enough to ask for as human beings. The thing that bothered me most from past chapters is, even it looked like Kuro worried most about Kotoko safety and so, but the conclusion is not that. It may seem he did everything for Kotoko, and said something considerate towards her. What I see is him and Kotoko, both are doing things to save Rikka. The only person that get away from crime is Rikka. Kuro didn't even bother to bring her to justice. The real person he protects is Rikka at the end and all the time. Rikka knows that and toy with Kotoko's feelings. She even said if not for Kotoko, Kuro would be hers already.
Oh I love you so much cuz I agree with every word u say.. I wanna see Kuro feel the feeling of "almost losing his precious person, Kotoko" too. I wonder what his reaction would be if there was a situation where he almost lost her.. It's not cruel, it would be satisfying actually, especially with his tsuntsun-cold-like attitude. Would he feel rage, sad, anger, happy, nonchalant, bitter, guilt, and etc ...?
Ahh I love this manga so much! The romance is this manga is really beautiful. It doesn't focus on romance at all but that's why the little caring scenes are much sweeter lmao. Kotoko and Kuro are so sweet together and I love how Kuro seems kinda cold to her but is secretly damn caring and is worried about her everyday. His "She deserves to be happy" and wanting to do the dangerous stuff alone to protect her is much better than a simple "I love you".
But honestly: I really damn hope his love for his cousin is platonic. I don't want to believe he loves her in a romantic way - I don't want to see him as a guy who was in love with his cousin while he had a girlfriend (the policist one). And I absolutely adore Kotoko. Just like Kuro I want to protect her. I don't want her to be hurt or be treated unfairly. So yeah...I hope Kotoko won't be hurt by his love for his cousin. Actually I'm pretty sure Kotoko won't be hurt - she's not a 'normal' person after all. Even Kuro's cousin is afraid of her and her being the goddess of wisdom and stuff...It honestly feels like everything is playing in the palms of her hands, hm? She's smart, wise and calculating. I'm sure she's way more than what we see. Pretty sure Kuro's cousin knows this and Kuro maybe too?
Anyway, Kuro's way better now than at the beginning lmao. I'm glad he deeply cares about her and would do everything to protect her now. I wanna see him putting more effort into their relationship and more protecting scenes tho. I want to let him feel the feeling of 'almost losing his precious person, Kotoko' hahaha. Am I cruel?
AND THIS NEW SHIP RIGHT HERE- I love the new mystery story with Yuki-Onna and the guy so much! Man they are so adorable. Yuki-Onna is so pretty and the guy's love for her is so beautiful. Was it love at first sight? I pitied his ex-wife at first but then...Nah, she and his friend are frickin terrible. Of course he isn't that innocent either..But he didn't kill anyone (or tried yk). Anyway, I love their romance and I really hope it doesn't end in tragedy or with a goodbye (/TДT)/
