So wait until it's done and read it then if you're incapable of keeping the story in your head from month to month. Nobody's forcing you to read this.

If you're sick of the "whining and complaining" just don't read the comments. A lot less to be annoyed of then. Nobody's forcing you to answer this if you don't want to deal with my opinion ^-^

And I'd actually rather wait for a few months for a real chapter on one of her works, with a more connected storyline. I don't think the bits and pieces are doing the story any good and I really loved her work until now, so I'm rather sad about it...

I saw raws dor chapter 51 and only... 7 pages ! I hope this is incomplete because it is really frustrating. I prefer waiting several months and have a real story. I understand that sensei want to give something to the readers but I have the feeling she has lost her inspiration for this story. Maybe she should take a break on it.

I feel the author lost her motivation for this manga too. I really liked this story back then but with the newer updates it feels like for me that this is slowly turning into Viewfinder - which I'm not so happy about, Akihito turned into too much of a shoujo manga girl to be able to enjoy that anymore :( Maybe she can focus better after finishing Finder....

The thing is that if she takes a break to finish Finder or whatnot it'll be years until she can take it back for it to be worth since she makes only 6 chapters a year. Anyway, I think it's finishing soon enough, I feel she does plan on ending it after this arc.

It may be difficult but if in exchange we can have a great story, I will wait. It seems she had great difficulties since she lost a parent. I can understand very well that's why I think she should take a break to get better and when she'll come back, she'll be on the top.

I agree with you with Viewfinder. Akihiko seems very weak in the lasts chapters. Well it's good to see he can be jealous but I prefer the blockheaded photograph who's opposing Asami straight in the eyes and refuse to surrender.

You may wait, but the publisher she has a contract with for Crimson Spell and the whole fandom probably won't. Because yes, she has a different publisher that publishes a different magazine from Finder's for Crimson Spell. She has to satisfy both.

Those last chapters? Because I feel like you're maybe reading a different manga than I am.

He's not really opposing him very seriously is he? He agrees to do what he wants veery quickly in those chapters.

You know there were other chapters before... At the beginning of the story for example or after his return from Hong Kong....

But if you want some link, It could be like here:

sorry I press the buton "post it" too soon. I haven't finish my post... I think in the very last chapters he reacts a little but I don't want to blame him, he seems in a bad moment. Kuroda was very mean to him treat him like a prostitute, he feels jealous toward Sudo. Maybe because of the short chapters it's hard to see all the story. Maybe I should stop reading updates and wait a year and all the "Pray in the abyss arc" should be cristal clear...

The reason why it is so little is because it is the release from the magazine. If it were a tankubon release, the mangaka adds more pages to fill it out. If you actually understood the amount of work all that detail that you love looking at took, then you wouldn't be complaining. I have Volumes 1-5 at home and there are extra pages added for those chapters already uploaded that were not a tankubon chapter. So please stop griping about it is so short.

I have the first volume, too, (and also several volumes of her other works) and I didn't notice any of what you are describing. However, the chapters are and were definitely a lot longer... and it's not just this manga of hers, all her series are updated in such small chapters. I know that it's a lot of work, especially at her level of art, however, I believe, that most her fans would be happy to wait a bit longer and then get a real, storylineheavy chapter. (I could of course be wrong, but that's how I feel...) I'm sorry if you're bothered, but it's really disappointing to look forward to the next chapter, wait for weeks on hot coals and then to receive a chapter with under 10 pages, in which almost nothing happens and then being left behing with feeling completely unsatisfied and sad, really, cause you were so much looking forward to it. That's not a great feeling at all. I'm sorry if you can't understand me...

I totally agree with you. You've perfectly resumed what I think.

The first volume is from the book not the mag. These are mag pages you're reading. You can tell by the quality of the scans. If you only have volume one, then you see the same as the upload since vol 1 came from the book.

All I am saying is that when the book is published, more pages are added to it. Since vol 6 is yet to be released, we only have the pages from the magazine itself.

If that's the case, why is it that other mangas, that also aren't published yet, have longer chapters? And why were the chapter updates longer in the past, when a volume wasn't published yet, either? (This is me being really confused, sorry...)

We have no way of knowing what sensei's arrangement with her publisher might be. It is entirely possible that the length of chapters is out of her control. It could be that she has a contract with Chara Selection for a certain number of issues, but as the story is winding down, the amount of pages has to be divided to meet the requirements of the contract. Not saying that's the case but it is one possibility. Sensei has also had health issues in recent years and I wish people would not be so quick to be angry with her over her output. She is creating something you love. Please be nice to her. Be patient with her.

Yeah weak. Thanks to Akihito and his fry pan, Asami didn't get shot. Personally I prefer current arc than vol 4 where he was raped over and over again.

And wtf with u guys said shoujo manga? Yaoi IS shoujo manga with same gender

I am stunned by his beauty every time I read this

Oh yes when you re-read it you're going to wonder who is this character(iwaki-san's first appearance) because it was way too far oh his appearance throughout manga he is much more beautiful, sexier and hotter plus he is so cool and become matured in terms of his attitude.

If u go back and look at ch 1-3 of Embracing Love when they was porn stars, where their story began, I almost don’t recognize them. like they have changed so much + The art. Now here they look so damn beautiful/Hot

I like him because he's endearing and earnest. Seems like he's really in love with Toono, too, so he's like that one character in the manga that we can say for sure is nice. Maybe not as interesting as other characters, but still a good one.

why you hate kashima?? he just too honest, the honest one should be with the innocent, clueless one!!!! toono x kashima!!!!!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I actually agree with you even though we are in the minority, and it's kind stupid how people are downvoting you for a different opinion. I like characters like Yacchan because even though he's two faced, he's a developed character. I feel like Kashima's character hasn't been developed enough, like why does he like the main character? it felt kind of random to me.

Hopefully sensei will get to that eventually. She's a terrific storyteller, after all. (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Yeah so far it seems like Kashima will end up with him, so I hope she adds more to Kashima other then he likes the main character because he's cute.
╮(￣▽￣)╭

Yeah, that would be great ^^ But in the state that he is now I just don't think him interesting. He's like... so obvious in everything he does, no hidden character depth that would make me feel intrigued by him... I hope that there will be some more character development or I'm just going to have to be satisfied with the other couples <3

I love innocent characters - most of the time... when they are still interesting, for example with an inner strenght or even just with more attributes than just innocent and honest. These character traits make for a good short story, but not for a longer series. I at least grow tired of these overly innocent characters that sometimes seem a bit stupid even (I feel so at least...). I love developed characters that have a lot of depth, with not everything in plain sight, because, who is like that in the real world? No realism at all in these characters and I don't like that...

I just don't think that he has much character depth. I mean, describe him in 10 attributes ... I at least feel like I could find just two or three terms that would sum up all the other ones and they would all be in the range of nice, endearing, honest, innocent, etc. In my opinion, that isn't enough to make for an interesting character, but it's just MY opinion. Everyone is welcome to feel differently ^^

Well, to be fair Toono isn't exactly a terribly interesting as a character either? And he likes Yacchan for basically the same "???" reason that he is cute and the first person to talk to him that is nice. It looks like it's the same deal for Kashima. Really, there doesn't need to be a huge wonderful reason to fall for someone :).

But we overlook Toono because he's the main character or maybe because he is incredulous over everything whereas Kashima is chill optimistic. Which doesn't seem like a developed character, but it is? I find in fiction people don't view people who are put together and happy as having character but it's more accurate to say they don't have an 'interesting' character (like being two faced, speaking in an indecipherable manner, being a tsundere, or a sadist). Honestly I appreciate him being in this comic. In a pile of wild cards having someone grounded is good and that's part of his function.

Someone with some sense

Let's hope sensei eventually gets to developing his character. She's a great writer, after all. :) I think the problem is there are too many characters that it's hard to develop them simultaneously.

Agree! Also I think the fact that we hardly see it from the POV of Kashima is one reason he seems uninteresting.
