What Kuraato was doing to Meloru's... does he have fish PP? So it's just a vent/hole? So if the Prince or Kuratto puts their thing in there, that's a whole new level of docking. I'm laughing but also crying and also freaking out. I need to find out. I need more >w<
No, its a complicated story
Basically this is a little mermaid bl
So the merman became human with the tentacle magic but the octopus is the devil who jealous of the fish falling in love with the prince then he brainwashed the prince to try to kill the fish then time skip
The prince reincarnated into an idol and the fish and octopus were auditioning to be one too
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
WHY IT SUDDENLY TURN INTO IDOL STORY
Beats me, Im still pissed of the tentacles always molesting the fish and in the end the fish and the tentacle ended up together cucking the idol who was once the prince
Since this is ongoing I’m holding onto hope but it’s looking really bad, one of the worst executed love triangles I’ve ever seen. I was really hoping for the prince/idol
What a tease! This series is just pwp and sensei knows it! Is she gonna make the 4P or not?!
Yoneda-sensei has been doing the last so many cover pages with this theme of light and dark and
of Yashiro and Doumeki understanding each other. Doumeki's tattoo shows he's delved deeper into the dark side of the yakuza, while Yashiro has been more like a civilian, on the light side, when before it was the reverse. Yashiro has slowly become more soft and in touch with his feelings while Doumeki has hardened himself as he's matured - again the opposite of the past. I say that figuratively but also literally! Doumeki used to be the impotent one and now Yashiro is. But it's only with each other they can be satisfied.
They're both slowly becoming grey, meeting in the middle. But Yashiro is still hesitant to admit he's changed and meet Doumeki in the middle. He keeps wanting them to be opposites, black and white only, even if they switch places. But they haven't just switched places, the very nature of their relationship has completely CHANGED. They've BOTH changed as people. Doumeki was a little stubborn to say he's changed, but he knows he has. Now he's waiting in the middle for Yashiro, and he's kinda pushing him to realize that and come be with him.
Man~ I love this story sooo much I'm hoping soon this shit with the Okuyama-gumi can finish up and then Doumeki can be with Yashiro finally since the pace of their relationship lines up with the revelations about this conflict
Yes, i agree with you
Reduced to nothing, Phos shed the last of their humanity but also the last of their grief. From dust we came to dust we will return. Somewhere, at some time, the atoms of Phos became a shooting star that brightened up someone's day, made someone appreciate the moment, or granted someone's wish. Though gone, Phos will always exist in the hearts of everyone he touched
I usually don't like omegaverse but if there's animal characteristics, I'm totally into it. This one so far is cool. I think it's cuz it makes more sense to me or feels more justified when they become enslaved to their animal instincts *wink wink. Or maybe cuz the first one I read and really liked was Sex Pistols which hit 20 this year (goddang!)
I finally read the end! I like how you can't tell where the real world ends and the game begins. I've played tons of otome games in my life and you really get caught up in these 2D romances. I even wonder if the flashback is accurate or framed through Tsutomu's otaku vision. The mind of an otaku is quite an... enigma. I cringed so hard at some parts, but some in a good way like "damn, that's fricken me." Don't appreciate the mid part but what can you do. Sensei hit a little too close to home, but that shows that she understands the life
We need that spin-off tho with Onii-san, seriously
Many years ago I was swept up by this manga because I adored everything Yusa Kouji is involved in (he voices Reiichirou). But as I got older I saw the imperfections. The pairing isn't an ideal functioning relationship but they're complementary. Reiichirou is naive, awkward, and stubborn compared to experienced, confident and adaptable Jinnai. Reiichirou is also more emotionally mature and rational than he appears while Jinnai is exposed to be very impatient, hypocritical, and immature despite being the older one. They say opposites attract and you want someone that completes you, but in reality both should bring something positive to the table and unfortunately in the last volume, looks like only Reiichirou is trying. He's so understanding of Jinnai while the opposite can't really be said. It's still an entertaining read after all these years
Someone said the top kissed another person twice? Or the uke? Is that true? Cheating?
Call me crazy but the euphoria scene with Ikuina was captivating in the game. The grays of the manga don't capture the beauty and madness in the game. That scene did something to me. Even though Towa granted his wish and kind of broke him, I wanted to see more of Ikuina and what they could do together. He was so cute. Could've been like a Noiz bad ending, but I'm for all for it
FR. Ikuina was the best "support character" out of all tbh. i wanted to see more of him but i guess his arc was finished. i love the guy ngl.
Sorry! I didn’t mean to down vote ! ;-;
I can't believe there was never a drama CD for Himegoto Asobi. For years I read Tanihara as voiced by Yusa Kouji and it fit him so well. It's too bad I never got to hear more from him than a bit in Yume Musubi. Still a wonderful reread though (for the nth time)
We knew a lot about the family's backstory through Ikurou's perspective, so now giving Ranzou's perspective opens things up a bit more. Here's what I'm thinking:
A long time ago when a woman was sexually assaulted she was blamed for "seducing" the man. I wonder, did Hanae really seduce her brother or was she led to believe that? Also up until many years ago, children would sometimes also be blamed if they were molested, saying the same that they "seduced" the adult. If the abuser grooms them to believe that, they can develop Stockholm syndrome. I wonder if Ranzou was like that cuz he seemed to grieve their father when he died. Ikurou certainly developed that for that bastard Norihiko.
Now with all that, I'm starting to believe Ikurou's mom Mitsue didn't try to kill Ranzou out of jealously or because he "seduced" his father (cuz it didn't happen yet), but because she couldn't live with such a tainted child. She wouldn't target her husband because A) she was starving for attention and approval and B) she blamed the woman, Hanae told her, thus this spawn of evil should be purged from the world, but the man not punished. Sadly, after she let Touma keep Ranzou alive, he started molesting him - he likely was already a rapist but he wanted to take advantage of the fact Ranzou couldn't speak due to being now mentally retarded. Mitsue already saw him as the spawn of evil but now he was "seducing" her husband, so she started calling Ranzou filthy, carnivorous, a mantis. But over time she knew how disgusting her husband was. Because of that it was easy for her to fall for Norihiko. He was someone who paid attention to her and was seemingly normal (big mistake, he turned out to be just like her husband, she sure knows how to pick em).
Mitsue was already mentally disturbed but living in this incestuous family really drove her over the edge. I wonder if the same happened to Hanae. It's not her fault but it's ironic how Mitsue's actions to escape that insane family by running into Norihiko's arms would end with HER son ending up in the same position as Ranzou: goomed, manipulated, trapped, isolated, abused, convinced they were the seducter, called the mantis. Both brothers, regardless of their status at birth, became victimized by the evil men of this family (Norihiko counts cuz his family has served the Toumas for a long time).
That was a lot, so what do you guys think? This is sooo insane
there’s definitely something to that. i personally think that Mitsue hated Ranzou simply because he was the result of an incestuous relationship between her husband and his sister. she couldn’t target her resentment towards her husband, as she was still kind of dependent on him, but also as you said, she desperately needed attention (and i also think she was really well manipulated by Seizou, which can be seen in Norihiko’s flashback at the very beginning of chapter 20 - Seizou told her he loved her and she also said she loved him; and it was when Norihiko was a little older, so after Ikurou was born and after Mitsue found out about Ranzou). she couldn’t quite bite the hand that was feeding her, so she treated Ranzou as the source of all the problems.
i think that there’s some possibility that Hanae was a victim of sexual abuse by her brother. it’s important to keep in mind that what we can see at the end of chapter 23 is Mitsue’s memories, so she could’ve twisted Hanae’s facial expression, the tone of her confession or even the exact words of it, simply because she was so disgusted and enraged. human brain can change the memories without the person being even aware of it. also, i didn’t include it in the translation notes, but when Mitsue says “What do you think Hanae said?”, there’s actually furigana (which indicates specific reading of the characters) beside kanji characters for “Hanae”, which wasn’t present previously when her name was mentioned. the furigana reads “あの女” which translates literally to “that woman”, but it’s rather direct and considered rude to address anyone like that. so it exemplifies even further how enraged Mitsue was and that her brain could’ve changed (or interpreted differently) some of her memories. but i think it’s also possible that Hanae could’ve really seduced her brother. the thing is, there’s not too many hints about what their relationship really was.
i think Mitsue blamed Seizou but due to how misogynistic and sexist the way of thinking was back then, she probably knew that she shouldn’t focus her hatred on a man, but on a woman/child instead.
