omg, Nagato is such a good boyfriend! The way he treats Al, the way he "heals" him when Al is worried/insecure about something. It's just perfect, they are perfect (=・ω・=)
I wish I had someone like Nagato im my life ToT
I’ve just realized – I’ve been reading this manga for almost 10 years now T_T. I was 15 when I first started it and now I’m almost 25 T_T. And I don’t know… Before, it was my favorite manga of all time, but now I don’t know. I’m kinda tired? Probably of waiting for relationship development between Asami and Akihito. Sure there is some development, especially from Akihito’s POV, but… Aghrh, I don’t know, I wish there was a little bit more (a lot more) communication between them.

And yesterday I saw the raws, and there were characters from all the previous “gang” – Arbatov, Feilong and other guy (forgot his name). And it kind of shook me in some way – I love Feilong, I truly DO, but the first thought that poked into my mind was “omg, not again”. I’m probably afraid of the old story repeating itself with all the kidnapping stuff (and ok, maybe kind of tired of all this “everybody wants a pieсe of Akihito’s ass”). Idk, wish they could deal with each other’s relationship without third parties interfering. Some action is good, sure (look at “Bi no Isu” for example, perfect combination of action, romance and smut), but not in the “I want to take away your partner/toy whatever he is to you” kind of way.
Oooh… I wish I could let it go, but 10 years of devotion to sensei’s work can’t be broken that easily T_T
And art is phenomenal of course. Just wish I will not die of age before it ends xDD
P.S. all Akihito's practice with shooting a gun... I can easily see him saving Asami in some "final battle" by shooting a threat :3
and PLEASE guys don't hate me for my comment ╥﹏╥
Ten years ago are sure a lot. I just read this story two years ago out of curiosity. Oo
10 years... Can you imagine what the people following Berserk from the beginning are going through? Almost 30 years now
Mikhail looks like the villain, maybe even the main villain of this arc. We don't know much about Mikhail, so I'm hoping for character development on his part.
Regarding Feilong, I don't think it will be a repeat of last time, I get the feeling he's one of the 'good' guys.
You're not alone, I doubt ANYONE wants a repeat of Naked Truth, and a few people are sick of all the Akihito rape, however some people like it, so it's going to continue whether I like it or not.
30 years?! Jesus, no, I can not imagine how it must be for fans (⊙…⊙ ) The thought alone makes me sad. On one hand, it's good when you have something that you love, that you are a fan of, but thinking that you will pobably never see the end of it... I don't know. Maybe if it's something light (some kind of comedy) then ok, but if it's something dramatic - jeez!
Yes, I tnink Mikhail will probably be the main villian, in the previous arc we only saw the "sneak peek" of him. And this Sudou guy is dangerous too, especially with his desire for Asami's attention.
I don't think Feilong is a bad guy either. He got his reasons for kidnapping Akihito (twisted though), at that time he probably still had feelings for Asami and wanted revenge. But, I guess, he eventually warmed up towards Akihito. I just worry to what extent. Wish he could find someone for himself too and not get in the way of those two x3
Yeah, some people like it and that's ok, everyone's taste is different. It's just I worry too much (on the verge of unhealthy) about fictional characters. Although I remember myself when I first started reading it (and yaoi in general) - jeez, I didn't care about anything, I could read some real psychological trash and not give a damn. Guess I'm getting old xD
Even with Finder, at 15 this manga was beyond perfection, but when I was rereading it not so long ago, omg it triggered some serious shit in me!
About Feilong - i also think that he will be a good guy here, but I wonder what role he will play. Since he dosent want to be involved with Asami anymore, it would be a miracle if they put their differences aside and work together. I started to think that maybe Asami will ask him to look after Akihito (since thoose two became sort of friends and its safe to asume that Takaba wouldnt be sexually abused by him again). Cant wait to know Asami's plan. Regarding the lenght of a story in mangas the same patience is required for One Piece fans (especially thoose who want to finally see Shanks in action and see Raftel - 20 years this year!)
I think that Sensei has something more original in store for them. At least, I hope^^
A spin-off focused on Fei perhaps?
I wish! But it was a long time ago since she published a new manga(( Also considering that crimson spell is still in the process too...
I think she will be mentioning him in some sort of extras probably, as a part of Finder series.
I just remembered that I read (I don't remember if it was here or somewhere else) that Sensei planned a story focused in another character of Viewfinder when she was finishing the NT arc. Maybe she decided to continue the story of Asami and Aki because of its popularity, but the other characters may appear to make the story more interesting (action and bullets that I like) in order to let her keep her first idea to some extent. Who knows?^^
I think she will include all of three the big leaders (Asami, Fei and Mik) to give them some kind of closure in the story. If you read Crimson Spell you might notice that she can be really original sometimes as a storyteller. ^^
Aww, I've never heard anything of some sort! But if it's true then it would be awesome. Especially if it's about Feilong. I think he deserves a story of his own. After reading his and Asami's backstory I felt so sorry for him, poor beautiful creature with a broken heart (〜￣△￣)〜
Oh yeah, a storyteller she is! Even now I can't imagine how exactly everything will turn out, can only guess. And wait...T_T
Akihito is already being looked after by the old couple and *hot* monk, he's safer with them than he would be with Feilong.
The story seems to be heading into a mafia war between Asami and Mikhail, assuming he is the main antagonist of this arc. If Fei is going to have a part in the story, he'd have to pick a side, so either: Asami + Fei vs Mik OR Asami vs Mik and Fei, OR a neutral observer.
I'd say he won't be involved outright, and he'll help Asami on the side. This chapter should shed a light on everyone's intentions, or at least I hope so.
-As a One Piece fan, the same patience isn't required. We have an idea about the ending, an approximation from the author of the exact length of the story, a vision of what will happen in the next arcs and most importantly a consistent release schedule with no hiatuses (unlike Berserk and VF).
I'm personally looking forward to Luffy meeting Dragon out of everything that's coming up ^^
I don't remember where I read it, but as a 'spin off' we have already Fei's novel (Finder no Rakuin) and in a way the new one (Finder no Souen). I think she's a good storyteller but we have to figure out what kind of story she's trying to tell us. ^^
I think it will be Asami vs Mik, and Fei will join at some point to be by Asami's side... until they will understand that the enemy is someone else (Eastern European mafia group).
Yeah, Aki has the most reliable bodyguard: 'Hot Monk' ^_^
Mik is too cheerful and easy-going (seemingly) to be truly evil, so it makes sense that someone else is the 'final villain'. When he appears, Asami, Fei and Mik can group together against him. I'm happy with this, as Mik and Fei can be together (or will have more of a chance to be)
I think it's the best solution for all us fans and our preferences. ^^
I thought about a possible end, too: Fei handing his power and his organization to Tao (the legitimate successor) and going somewhere else with his destined lover. ^^
Ouch, don't remind me of Finder no Rakuin xD It tore my heart to pieces. I truly ship Yoh x Fei, and I was glad that they had this "night of passion", but it was soooo bittersweet. In the end there were some hints and phrases that gave me some hope (especially from Feilong's side, for example where he thought that even if their ways parted now, sometime they will walk hand in hand again), but I doubt they will end up together ╥﹏╥ (but deep down I still hope xDD)
About possible end - I thought about Fei handing organisation to Tao, too. I don't think he values the place of the leader so much. Yes, he is probably a good one, but I don't think it's THAT important to him. Although he denies it (in novella it's especially noticeable) but he is actually really soft hearted.
I just don't know with whom he will end up. Sensei will probably leave this matter open.
Maybe it will be Tao, but the age gap is huge oO
Mik? Idk, he seems to be too unserious and sly to be truly commited to someone. Time will tell (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Yeah, the novel has a bittersweet tone and has an open ending, but I still hope Fei will end with Yoh. Anyway, the only pairing that I dislike is Fei x Tao (the boy is more like a son to Fei, I don't think Sensei will have the bad taste to put them together, at least it's what I think)
Yeah, time will tell. ^^
Now I don't understand - who will be the uke? xD
Duan Chao seems to be really sensual - perfect power bottom (and his is shorter than Xu Taiyang), but at the same time Xu Taiyang gives off these "Takaba-Akihito-rebellious-tsundere" vibes too, perfect bottom too (who will be constantly teased by seme). OMG I don't know!（/TДT)/
Well, didn’t he say earlier „I just fucked a man.”? So I guess HE (the light haired guy) is the one who tops. “I fucked” is for me the phrase one uses who has the “tool”. The receiving part is to “be fucked”, so … Just a wild guess tho but I think the raven is the one who is getting fucked but also one who tops from bottom. More than a power bottom I think … kinda Seke if you will name it? Or fuck, let’em switch! ;-)
NOOOOO!ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Don't go with him, honeeey! T_T
I hope that asshole will not bring him back in AV industry T_T And that old man from Kei's memory... I get this feeling that it's him who brought him in AV in the first place. Common thing in manga "I will sacrifice my body to pay the debts of my beloved one" or some similar shit (︶︿︶)
But it's just me guessing ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I think he was in love with that old man and that the old man persuaded him into doing porn/he did it to get his attention or whatever/ but without actual debts involved... but that' s just my guess and I guess we will find out later ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Well yeah, I kind of put it in the category of "some similar shit"
Yup, time will tell. But smth tells me next chapter will be all pain and feels for us fujoshis
In the drama CD flashback, you can hear him saying “Yada” which basically means “I don't want to.” So I believe the guy betrayed him by taking Kei someplace where Kei thought it'd just be that guy. But other men were they and they raped him. And then maybe he was offered or coerced into doing AV and he felt dirty already so he accepted or gave in.
True. I also feel like he was somehow forced or manipulated into it. The older guy definitely had other intentions and did not love Kei or doing porn would have never happened. That's why Kei now calls himself a "hard bottom" because of those times and feels about it all and thought the seme will leave him. I hope Kei doesn't end up sleeping with the black haired guy and ends up in a bad situation. This is most likely going to happen.
Yeah, I hope that other guy (cute doggy one) will appear in the last moment and save Kei from making bad decision. Especially considering the fact that the goatee dude is from porn industry (he's a director or what?) and wants smth from Kei. In ch1 Kei's friend from the bar warned him about those shady guys from the studio among whom was that guy from last chapter.
