I cant believe ive gone this far into the manga without knowing, but who's ring is it that takahiro takes? Is it his sister's ring?

yes. It was implied quite strongly that Takahiro's first love is his sister. Yes. It's the sister's ring. That's why he was sad when he lost his memories and saw the baby again. It's ok if you don't 'do' incest, but it was quite obvious throughout the story, they can't be more in your face about it without spelling it outright for you. I understand people have their own squicks but don't let that stop you from reading the story objectively.

I really hate taichi bc of all the stuff he's put Naoto through. When they were together in high school Taichi said they weren't dating but they were only together for "sexual gratification," (which shocked and hurt Naoto) thus ending their relationship but he got mad when Naoto moved on. Also, whenever Naoto tried to talk to another girl or something he would become possessive as if he was the only one Naoto could associate himself w/. Then, later in the story he raped Naoto and tries to disregard what he did to Naoto by telling Naoto that they're still friends. To me I think Taichi is a vindictive a**hole and I feel bad for Naoto. Honestly I wish Naoto would've left taichi and never associate himself w/ him again. I want Naoto to be happy bc he is waaaay too good for someone like taichi. Idk it could just be me thinking this way. Sorry that this was kinda long i just had a lot pent up that i wanted to say lol

He is, but.. If Naoto just left Taichi, there wouldn't be a point to the story. The story is telling you about a couple with many conflicts and how they resolve it and come to terms with each other and fall in love with each other again, happily and successfully. It's growing out of a bad relationship into a good one. This happens to many people in real life, my parents too. They are starting to slowly love each other again. That being said, there are some relationships that cannot turn back to how they were and it would be best to break up. However, Taichi and Naoto were giving each other more chances, trying to figure their feelings out and silently coming to understand one another. Taichi did terrible things, he has a terrible temper and it was terrible that he resorted to rape. But then, that's the point of his character. He wasn't supposed to be super kind. He was supposed to be sweet, love Naoto, but able to snap from jealousy at any given time. And you could see he was trying to change that, but all in all, his problems and Naoto's problems were what made the story.
I love this story, and it's characters. I don't like the character's for what they've done, I like the characters AS a creation of what Ogoretsu has made. Such detailed and complex personalities. Just like real people.
Haha sorry for my rant as well. XD

Taichi is a troubled character. They were teens when they met and fell in love and Taichi was going through a tough time at home. Unfortunately, not all people are capable of handling such situations easily. Kids and teens are especially vulnerable. Add up the fact that he didn't have friends before Nao. He basically held everything in. :(

I understand what you are saying and think you are completely right abt how his flaws are part of him, but I still don't care for taichi lol. I just think it's wrong how he lost Naoto in high school and then he almost lost him again, because of his possessiveness. On a different note, I love everything Ogeretsu Tanaka publishes and i'm always looking forward to see what she's coming out with next!
