shizuma is such an inCREDible guy!!!! i don't know that i've encountered a character so selfless, understanding and kind-hearted. we should all be so lucky to even DREAM of having a partner like him. i daresay he might be one of my favorite semes of all time. in fact, this author has amazingly gentle, sweet and good-natured semes (mito-san and rin included here). not to mention they're all potential beasts in bed (THE BEST KIND)!! man. i'm definitely gonna be re-reading this one over and over again...
this might be one of those cases where i enjoyed the spinoff manga as much (if not MORE) than the original! i love em both, actually, and most of this mangaka's other works. other great spinoffs that rocked my world? therapy game and bokura ga koi wo ushinau riyuu come to mind. there are quite a few really (some writers just have a talent for developing their side characters into full-blown, compelling main characters)! <3
love this author more and more. outstanding art, outstanding storytelling. i can't get enough of reading about guys who are hopelessly in love with each other. it's also unbearably satisfying to see the "cool guy" LOSE his cool & show his jealousy and desperation. YES!! *punches air* plus, yoshino is TOO, TOO adorable. gosh.
god i HATE that in so much bl and yaoi there is pedophilia and rape. I HATE IT. i don't read shojo (only shonen), so i don't know if the ratio is just as high in that genre. it's so sickening, and i'm tired of it. wish i could love this story (the art is fantastic, and the boys have such potential), but the disgusting pedo trend always ruins things for me. u_u
i was preparing for this chapter, hoping with all my might. *sigh* still wound up crying. XD oh pinky, you are like a ray of light. don't ever change. god please let them be happy...
