I wonder how big their school is for him to be able to find so many girls named Aki. And I'm also curious as to why girls keep falling for it. Even if he says "it has to be you" isn't it just a little suspicious that all the "you's" are named Aki?
And him sleeping with a bunch of girls with the same name wasn't that strange- in fact, I could kinda understand the twisted logic behind it. I'm more curious about the fact that he seemed offended when he thought Shuu didn't want him bringing girls to the room. When he said "I didn't know you were so against it" I was like...I mean you're sleeping with girls when he's in the room. Isn't the normal reaction to be against it? How rude do you have to be? Like, here, listen to my mushy humping every day and don't get mad.
Maybe aki is such a common/mainstream(?) name in japan.
like in my country "putri" (it refers to girl) which means "princess" in english vocabulary is such a common name. in my case i know about 30 person with that name in my school in same grade.
Wow! Yeah that's probably it lol. But that just makes it harder to understand why any of those girls would think they're special... ah well. Tis manga- yaoi manga specifically, so women are just plot points ╮(￣▽￣)╭
yeah thats what i've been thinking.didn't they find it strange that his ex always called aki, since hes kinda famous everyone should've realize that
But we don't really know if they actually had sex. What if they where just fooling around? Like touchy touchy and some licky licky? (づ￣ ³￣)づ
It's not that they are called Aki, it's that they have the kanji character in their name. The kanji for Aki, which can mean Autumn or clear, can be read multiple ways and is very popular to use, as are the kanjis Natsu for summer, Haru for spring and Fuyu for winter. Basically he's going for anyone with the kanji Aki. In an English scenario, think of it as though he's going for people with certain letter in their name or the names that begin with a certain letter.
Oh it was the kanji? That makes substantially more sense lol! Sometimes those details get lost in translation I guess
This was so fucking hilarious! The scenes at school had me in stitches! On another note, though I'm not too fond of the way Watanabe-sensei does faces (something about the eyes...) or her shouta-ish ukes, his/her ability to draw seme bodies is out of this world! Seriously, how does she create such a perfect specimen?!!! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
But can't even remember their gender? Are you serious? Ugh the entire plot of this manga pissed me off! I'm glad it was lighthearted and I got some chuckles out of it, otherwise I would have hated it!
you can't exactly say that.. it was mentioned that the guy can't recognize faces.. maybe it was a case of Prosopagnosia,,,
Maybe the guy usually goes for anal sex? That doesn't explain how he didn't see the dick, but it is just a theory.
So he also can't recognize penises lol?
That's the best theory I could come up with too so the fact that it still didn't make any sense didn't help me like the manga any more lol.
The only solution is to call it manga logic. Every problem in manga that wouldn't make sense in real life is solved by calling it manga logic, right?
LOL XD that's yaoi for ya' the impossible happens ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Too true, didn't like it either. Loved your comments btw.
I think the little brother's character could have made this manga interesting and less generic, particularly considering how easily the bad guy was caught and quickly he gave up. So it's quite disappointing that the author just left him as a vegetable and then jumped ahead a year. Thanks to that. all we have is a less than mediocre shoujo. Poo (￣ε(#￣)Σ
There are quite a few parts of this manga that are a bit hard to run with and that just made this hard to read.
1. She got her period at 17? That must be a record
2. She had a developed body like that before getting her period? ...Riiiiiiiight
┑(￣Д ￣)┍
3. If demons only want her to have evil babies, why not remove her uterus when she was younger? Better to have to adopt than be hunted for the rest of her life.
It just feels like everything about this is a waste of time.
Didn't she give in a bit too quickly after Hajime left? He was gone for all of a week; I get that she was lonely but you'd think she could hold out a little bit longer than that. Meanwhile, I'm a bit bothered by her dependency on her relationship- the things she says and does indicate a level of obsession that can (and did) go south real fast.
It was a cute story but the emotions weren't deep enough for me to really get lost in it and bawl like a baby like other mangas do; I really only got a little bit sad at the end of chapter 3. A similar manga to this that had me cry out literally all the moisture in my body was Rec - Kimi ga Naita Hi. The plot was similar to this one but the emotional depth was out of this world!
But stopped for a drink at some point and then just switched to a slow walk. The first several chapters showed a lot of promise but it just got too boring/predictable over time. And the end was a bit of a letdown the way it tried to tie up all loose ends in 30 pages. Too bad because I had high hopes from the first volume.
It was really enjoyable and I very much enjoyed the characters' personalities. Was I the only one bothered by the numbering in this manga, though? Ex: MC was 20cm taller than Kiyotake when they were young and grew another 20 cm to be ~180 cm. So they were 140 and 160 cm in high school? That's really short lol! Not to mention, the author kept saying they reunited after 8 years but college+high school = 7 years so I'm not too sure how that was supposed to work out.
In the end, I just made up my own stats: I made them 150 and 170 cm in high school and had the MC grow only another 10 cm. I also changed 8 years to 4~5 in my mind. Helped the story cement itself a little better for me.
I also change those details in my mind when they are not realistic, so the story feels right Hahah
I thought I was the only one who cares about those things...
It seems I'm pretty anal about those things so I'd be irritated anytime the author brought it up (and she did that a lot in this manga) lol.
Reading this, I kept thinking "if I were Risa, I would have dumped his ass" 20 or 30 times. But If I were Risa, we'd never have gotten together because I damn sure wouldn't have been able to put up with him lol! But Otani did make me want to reach into my computer and give him my pimp hand more than a few times. I mean it's cool to be shy or tsundere or whatever, but he was a straight up asshole half the time (how are you gonna forget 1 day that's both her birthday AND your anniversary? smh). But Risa was wlling to put up with it so I guess it worked out? ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Great manga though
I agree.. If i were risa, i cannot put up with otani recklessness.
i simply couldn't stand that either cause i'm not like risa i'm the bad ass girl you know¡¡ ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I agree with you, maybe I am the only one but I think this manga is very very sad and I don't think they are a cute couple, cute friends, yes! but not couple!, I think this manga is outrageous and horrible towards a woman, in this case Risa. Maybe mangas are like that towards all women? I find despicable and sickening thoughts of writers towards women.
In this manga Risa is treated in awful way by Otani, since she confessed to him, she cries, cries many times and feel sadness many times, she had to endure many things in order to make Otani fell in love with her, I wonder why?!! Why people support that awful and sad thing? and even when are dating, he is a horrible boyfriend, sometimes is better to have a true friend, I think Otani never fell in love with Risa, but we can't blame him for that, Risa was happy when Otani was only his friend, and because of that, there was cute and funny moments, but after that there was always tears and sadness for her, apparently people don't notice the suffering of Risa, and I find the most horrible thing in this manga is the "true friends of Risa" support the bullying attitude of Otani towards her, instead of advise her, let Otani like a friend and move on.
The most sorrowful thing is, the sickening thought of the writer, can call this "romance", "love", is ONE SIDE LOVE, Risa for Otani. But the extremely thing is, he not only forget her birthday and many more things, he doesn't care about her feelings "absolutely nothing" his attitude is cold and distant towards her and "that" hurt her deeply, she is always sad, and people call this "true love"? cute love?, even she give him many gifts to him, and the only thing he do is only accept her gifts, how cruel attitude of Otani. Instead me, I only see sad love, that's why I never liked the manga either the anime, only the movie, but even in that, was hard to see her sad and shed tears. For me Otani is only good friend, never good love, and is not worthy or especial to endure things for him.True love, I can call this, only in two mangas "red river and black bird". I wonder why, in many mangas if not almost all, women don't have pride and have to endure violence and mistreated in the name of love?!!!! why people support such outrageous thing? The message of many mangas, if not the majority, give to the young people unhealthy message, especially toward women.
People, can I change the story?......
AGREE –_– How could he?!!!! He forgot his girlfriend's birthday and their 1st anniversary?!!!! Seriously?! —_—
ALSO...I don't like the part when he didn't trust Risa and then he stayed over at some girl's hour?!!! (—_—)
How could Risa had so much patience?!
POOR RISA—_—
it's also "true love" in Kaichou es maid sama, What's wrong with secretary Kim, the girl and the geek,Gakuen Alice,Inuxbokuss,Horimiya,Relife,Faster than a kiss,last game, Tsubaki Chou Lonely planet,Hibi chouchou,etc. I think there won't ever be a perfect relationship with perfect humans,but a good enough love. And I also hate to see a bully be idolized in so many mangas. I want to scream my lungs out: if your partner keeps hurting you then that's not love,don't compromise on your self respect,mental,emotional and physical well being to be with someone. And clear examples of these kinds of manga are Kurosaki kun lno Iinari ni Nante Narana, ookami shoujo to kuro ouji...in both of them the ml are douchebags and assholes.
