Dude is brave, he is doing that on purpose, I believe he wants to challenge Shinpei and is curious at the same time, after all, he is the guy Satoko loves.
Lets see how thing go from here.
He can't look scared of Shinpei, doesn't makes sense for him to just accept him, he doesn't know him or how much Satoko means to him, he only knows Satoko's part.
When a mangaka releases this kind of comedy with the characters and their family shanenigans, I always eat it up, I can see Murakami aiming for this stuff when she was writing EX, with them adopting Riku and finally having a more stable life (with Yuki even more on the road of healing from his trauma) but I never expected Shuichi to leave behind his life as an idol, but the way he seems content and mature makes me feel like a proud mom, our crazy son finally touched some grass and is more or less normal lmao.
Is cute to know that their relationship got stronger, Riku says Yuki was always hogging Shuichi, so the man became more lovey dovey and Shuichi being a simp for his caveman is endearing hahaha
Also, Mountain man Yuki is a joke but even like that he looks Hot lol.
I really like how after or that kinky stuff they actually used the knowledge to solve the issue, is a rather smooth way to come back to the plot, also is always nice to see the talking and Gozu showing his big brain time.
The Saintess is too adorable too, he was squealing hahaha how cute, I'm glad they became friends, for the "Villains" Gozu and Eve are supposed to be, they are reaching the hearts of a lot of people in their Journey for sure.
Mmmh, so, Chizuru thought the Best way to not try to "take advantage" of someone's feelings/attraction for her is not anwering them? Didn't her Grandma said the opposite, also I find kind of contradictory that she refuses to go on dates with a potential partner because she NEEDS time to think seriously, since she basically only dates with marriage and true love as a goal, but how is she going to know if she doesn't even try to know them first :v Kazuya only got Lucky because their grandmas forced them to spend time together, because Chizuru wasn't going to keep up with him then.
Also isn't being a rental girlfriend a total 180 from her morals then? She lives on acting as something she is not, and" takes advantage" of the attraction of lonely guys that only want some fake love, and she takes "pride" on it because "I'm an actress and being a rental is somehow prefect practice"???
Idk bruh they try to make me see Chizuru as the biggest Cinnamon Roll in existente but she is , in fact, very insensitive and kind of egoist if you think about it.
I was feeling down this days so I decided to come back to my childhood safe heaven.
I'm happy that Usagi and Misaki came out to the brother , honestly is was a nice change of peace of their usual shanenigans. I miss the other 2 og Junjou couples tho, Terrorist (my fave) and Egoist.
Romantica just tales all the attention, and pages, even If i understand the appeal I wish we see more of the others too :v, at the very least feed me with more cameos sensei (〜￣△￣)〜
Chapter filled with second hand embarrassment, omg, I forgot the big bro was as "open" and talkative like Kirara! But is true, he already had asked them about their sex life before even tho Ken is his little bro ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Also Kirara, Christ, what a way to kill your social life and come out like that.
Okay so, Childhood friendo out, Mikke be prepared, he is next （/TДT)/
No but, i felt bad for Rihito he never really had a chance mhh.
Oh boi my first heavy Yaoi, XXX full HD, 2013 was full of wild times for me, thats for sure. I still remember finding Kumagoro Doujinshi and going ballistic about how..... explicit it was.
Also, the only OFFICIAL Doujinshi if I remember correctly is Hiyoko, Yuki and Shuichi's first time, with even a little note saying it was canon and that she had to look past volumes to make it accurate, and it is, a lot of panels are basically redraws of the manga panels (at least before and after the horizontal dance) all the other doujinshis are more into self indulgent fantasy, and even if they were drawn by Maki Murakami, they aren't canon to the main story.
So okay, I watched the anime when I was like 13 and was one of the first shows that introduced me fully into BL, honestly I never expected the manga to be such a MESS, that and unhinged. The anime really tricked me all thos years thinking it was more into absurd comedy, not psychological suffering with mechas and crude jokes all over the place. What a woman you are Maki Murakami, Gravitation is an unique experiencia, even tho a lot of manga from the 90's and 20's are CRAZY theres a lot that stands out here.
Yuki Eiri is probably one of the most engaging "semes" out there, how much his personality changes drastically because of his trauma , and how he comes into terms with it at the end, him being bitter, angry, but still having the capacity to care and change was a wild ride, I remember not being into Yuki much when I was younger, but oh boi, after looking how cute and vulnerable he can be I get the charm, he just wanted love without being seen just as a sex object.
I liked how he openly went to a Psychiatrist, amazingly enough, this manga shows that you can't cure this stuff with the power of love and even jokes about the idea, even when the story took weird takes on certain stuff, all the characters surprisingly grew healthier and more open minded, like Tohma letting go of Yuki to take care of his wife and kid, Fujisaki being so square and calling everyone pervert for being gay, Yuki's internalized homophobia and guilt.
Not perfect but I recognize the effort.
Shuichi and the gang are so crazy lol, but we love them for it, and you know they got each others backs, if they have to go to hell and back for one of their members, they'll do it, they'll joke and trash around, but they'll do it. Full respect on that.
So, yeah, basically if you have a soft spot for this idiots, the manga is more than worthy giving it a try.
Now I'm fully heading towards the sequel.
YGO manga are always different from source material/anime (except the first one ofc) maybe for the fans to have different content instead of the same story.
In this case, I felt the story and characters were more solid, but also more generic, it was a straightforward shonen without the more emotional twists, but overall was ok.
I also liked the new characters, like Miss Hibiki and Reggie, algo the focus on characters that weren't touched upon in the show or mostly laughed at like Fubuki, Daichi and even Manjoume.
Right now if something happen to that silly rich family I'll be really sad, I can't be on Shinpei's side fully this time. They seem normal, Satoko's family is the f*cked up one, and , right now, they are truly innocent people that doesn't what a dangerous play they got into.
Shinpei was scary this chapter, he is ready to kill anyone.
Give us more big bro love story, I already jave an overdose of Kirara and Ken, they areblindo a generic couple and I feel their story is "completed" give us more of the side characters sensei!
Just say yes already Chizuru, idk why but you like the loser just go for it, I don't think I can read through those cringe Kazuya inner thoughts anymore Σ( ￣□￣||)
Me: Oh cool she chose the tsundere cutie, I hope we see some nice dates from them (:
*Sees Mia and scammer guy in the front page of the update*
Me: fuuuuuu**
No but seriously I kinda deduced that was the past, Mia and him dated but Mr. Con artist was trying to steal from her but then he FeLl In Lovee amd she gotnin am accident.... eh is ok, but I was expecting more twists, also, sorry but if Mia breaks up with Tsurugi for this i'll be kind of dissappointed, not for the twist, but because I feel this is too soon to change BF, aldp whats going to happen to everybody else.
I'm sure my idiot son has a plan, I hope so, he is a character that grew on me and I appreciate his honesty, he is also a very good kid at heart, if that marriage proposal came sooner we wouldn't be in this situation in first place!
BTW , I'm starting to believe he is the old man who reads the letters in the future, like some people already pointed out.
I.... really give it to Gozu this time , he really is dedicated to his Kinks....
A round of applausse for the best Wingman in this manga, Big Boss the cat.
The mom is trying and I respect that, but the rift that has been going on for years is not going to be easy to heal specially with the dad, since mom only took the chance because the shitty dad is not there, but she isn't really happy with his son's "life decisions anyway"
Also, OMG Morinaga having his brain in his dick always, good thing now that Sempai got character development and he is more reliable, he was always good with family stuff, but him giving a supporting hug and calling Morinaga cute, is something I never thought I'll see.
