It might get dropped now because these chapters were uploaded. They were told not to upload anymore chapters.

That is a very common thing in Japan. I read it in many many mangas. It seems something in their culture. They work so hard during work days that they often do sex when it's the day off.

Yes! There was a sort of confession here, wasn't there? And that little staring contest?

That is new.

I'm glad it got deleted - I don't know why but we get so many trolls in this fandom, it seems people feel the need to throw abuse at each other for no reason : ( and I hope they continue to delete them! Best to nip it in the bud.
I've even had abuse thrown at me for one of my posts on here and it makes me genuinely nervous to post!

Do we have mods here now? *Waves at possibly imaginary mods*

Not sure what happened - but someone was ranting about VF fans having no life and using abusive language - I was glad to see it deleted too ... so maybe there are mods now. *waves hello - and welcome to the madness* :D

If you forgot, a whiiile back, Kurotsuchi made his first appearance with his fluffy armor. It may have even been in the anime. Then, the soul king is working for the Quincies because if you look, Pernidas has the same eyes as Ywhach(I call him Bastard so i forgot spelling). Ywhach is the Soul King now, essentially because he's taken over the palace. That's why Pernidas said that "the bad guys said Kurotsuchi is the enemy"

Ah, I have not read for a while, so I am playing catch up and I am still questioning Kurotsuchis' fashion sense after all this time ... and Pernida - does have the same eye as Juha - I did see that but kind of dismissed it in all the strangeness going on ... (I call him something less flattering LOL) (did you know that is actually a real eye condition? I saw a photo of one recently ...) I guess I can understand how the hand is working for the enemy ... Thanks!

I did not know. We both learned something~

Well, said. The mangaka put a lot of their love and attention into this story and it shows.

Excuse the typos - my cat walked over my keyboard and clicked my mouse before I could proofread

Well, that is interesting. Yeah, I can see where there might be two separate incidents here. Could the man that Aki was staking out (the Congressman) be involved in the plot with Sudou/Aaron?
And trade routes? Or maybe he wants to know how Asami got a hold of the casino deed? (although it seems like he waited quite a while for that if that was his ploy - trade routes sounds more reasonable)
Cats? Mine likes the warmth of my laptop and sleeps on it frequently - even when I am using it - so I understand totally ... LOL

Nice plot summation. but are the 2 plots connected ?Aaron called Asami Sudou's boss he thinks Asami cheated him with Sudou's help(maybe) that's what I took from that scene .I could be wrong.

can't be the deeds possibly, coz the deeds were given back to fei... but seriously if feilong also comes back, i'll die then and there!! Σ( ￣□￣||)

It is not known why Mikhail is in Japan. He may not be working with Aaron and maybe there to find out info from Sudou for hs own self protection. Aaron and he could be rivals. ? i'm dreaming of a plot that would bring all 3 of them together again. Feilong, Mikhail, Asami. under attack and having to fight together.

Not sure if the two are connected. I kind of doubt it, but I think the Congressman is Aaron's boss, and Sudou's. (regarding the missing/broken goods and the trade routes)
As for Sakazaki, I think he has been working with Mikhail - perhaps trying to get some revenge or maybe he is also interested in trade routes and the two plots are just colliding at the same time? I don't know - it is just a feeling I get.
Bringing Fei back would be interesting - I have always liked something about him (just not as a pairing for Asami - LOL)

They can bury me right next to you then. xD

In my mind, If Asami was really in trouble, It would be feilong that would help him. It was Asami that saved Fei from his father. He would not appear to be with Asami. If he showed up, it would be to pay back this debt, and besides where Fei goes so does Yoh. Fei and Yoh are as much of a couple as Asami and Takaba in my mind. Prop. won't happen.(Feilong coming back)

All good I have the same problem.

But it said it's completed ^^ so no need to return anyway. And it was indeed disappointing.

yaoi in general is unrealistic as the events are up to the mangakas imagination. Although, ones like these which are realistic, readers tend to purse their lips. This is a classic case of Stockholm's Syndrome. Look it up and learn something.

I know what Stockholm syndrome is. Don't tell me to look something up and learn - I find this trope personally distasteful. I don't really want to read about someone who smiles through abuse and still loves someone that they only fell in love with through letters. (By the way falling in love with someone through letters is NOT Stockholm syndrome - that only occurs when you have actually been their captive - there now YOU have also learned something)

I was talking about the issue of rape and him ending up falling in love with his rapist....not reading the letters. I thought that was obvious enough that it didn't need mentioning.

Do you plan to chide everyone on this thread who did not like this manga - or did you just want to single out a one person?
And, for the record - this is not classic Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm Syndrome is when someone develops feeling for the person who kidnapped them. In this case the victim already had feelings for his captor beforehand. And this person did not say anything regarding rape here - just that the trope was overused, which may have caused you some confusion? Personally I did not like this manga either, as many others are also saying.

Don't feel special. I didn't single you out...heh heh. In a way he was held hostage, by circumstance but that must've flown over your head. There is more than meets the eye, Megatron.

Actually no, it did not 'fly over my head' - and that is a Dalek - if you are referrng to my Icon - not a Megatron (whatever that is). But you obviously failed to understand that this is not Stockholm syndrome, and that is not MY reason for disliking this manga - I did not state my reason for disliking it, if you actually bothered to read my comment. Please try reading my comment again before critiquing - All I said was "Personally I did not like this manga either, as many others are saying" And that is all I will say, so you don't need to respond. Thank you.

There is more than meets the eye - the slogan for Transformers. Megatron is one of the Decepticons. I had no interest in your avatar.

Why so serious?

Ah, I do not watch Transformers, that is why I thought you were referring to my avatar, Megatron sounds like a robot name.

Just Google Transformers and I will leave it at that. Gute nacht!!

What makes you think yaoi is the only gengre that does this? I stopped reading Harlequin books 30 YEARS ago because these types of scenarios made me ill to read (I hate you, but I'm gonna have sex with you, and now we love each other!)

If you don't like it then don't read it. Plain and simple.

Making assumptions for others on your ideas just gets them mad at you. I happen to have an open mind and will read just about anything. I even tried reading Animal X, though couldn't get past 15/16 chapters.

I did try though.

All that raping, and pillaging . . . anyone know if there are yaoi's about Vikings?

I don't care if people get mad at me....if they don't like my opinions, then they don't have to talk to me, to include you. Everyone is entitled to voice their own opinions. If you were truly open-minded as you say, you would understand that. Deuces!!

Amen

How would people know they don't like your opinions if they don't talk to you first? How would people know they don't like a certain manga if they don't read it first? Specially one with no summary, mind you. ..The phrase you're looking for is not "don't like, don't do" but "let's all agree to disagree."

Whatever dude...you seem to miss the point of what I wrote. Instead of trying to create an argument, don't respond to what I write...it doesn't matter since it is hopeless to get angry at words from someone I don't even know. Not everyone is going to like what you or I say, at any given time in life. Because of that, I don't care if no one likes what I have to say. They have a right to disagree or agree but that doesn't mean that we can't have a discussion. People aren't lemmings....if everyone agreed with everyone else about any conceivable idea, we would all be lemmings just waiting for our turn to fall off of a cliff.

I am going to shut y'all the fuck up. Read this:

http://counsellingresource.com/lib/therapy/self-help/stockholm/

http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Stockholm+syndrome Read this - Stockholm syndrome arises after the victim has been captured by the abuser - not before. The victim went to his abuser already in love with him - an emotional bond formed by reading letters - not by being abused by his captor. The character does suffer from a psychological disorder - but it is not Stockholm syndrome.

Yeah, the letter thing was the author's way of saying: "See, see?! It's not Stockholm Syndrome!" In my opinion it wasn't a very convincing attempt, though. It only added a "taking mommy's place in order to feel connected with her" obsession to his "not-quite-but-close-enough" Stockholm syndrome, LOL.

DV and SS are the same thing. Whether they were in love at first or not...it all boils down to this...the are in love with their abuser.

The open minded part, is why I will read something and then decide if I like it or not. I rarely let what others say about a story influence what I read.

Telling me "don't like it, don't read it", is irrelevant, since I would have already read it.

give it a rest. You really love to argue.

DV is domestic violence, right?
