1. Asami loves Akitora. She was a prostitute and he was a costumer. He clearly chose her for his wife because of her personality. Sex doesnt mean love, she is confident of her place and therefore isn't jealous in that regard. However she clearly says she is jealous that Tora got stabbed and got so physically fucked up and immediately made those injuries worse by fucking the shit outta Rogi. Asami may not know all the details but it's enough to read between the lines. She knows her husband well enough that this alone tells her how deeply Tora feels for Rogi. I bet money she goes along with whatever Tora decides to do with Rogi.
2. Tora loves Rogi passionately. He didn't coldly kill Handa , he snapped when Handa said "That is MINE!!!" and beat the fuck out of him. You don't beat a man until the bones show on every finger of your hand ( on top of being stabbed ) unless you're in a rage and adrenaline rush. That Tora lost control screams love, jealousy,and possessiveness. This is brought home when Asoda shows up and calls to him, he comes out of his covered in blood and Handa dead.Which is bad because handa is connected to his group. Killing flunkies is bad so he has Asoda clean up. I bet money after fucking Rogi for a month or 3 that he sends him away both to protect him , cause he loves him fiercely, and to protect his group/family , rather than one day being forced to kill him because Rogi own nature would cause conflict , this is also why he won't let him be Yakuza. Rogi is like a wild that might eat from the hand one day , bite or tear off that same hand the next day. Tora is exactly the same. Like two wild tigers that are mated, but Tora has to leash his beast and function within those confinements and he is able to do this and still be himself but he understands that his beast loves Rogi and the leash on his beast, his restraint is slipping and will continue to do so to the point that he might devour and lose everything , I think he knows this and sends Rogi away before their Love can devour them both.
3. Rogi in the present states that he has only been in the Yakuza for 3 years.If you were paying attention in Tatsuyuki's story (Tora's son ) you learn that Tatsuyuki has been in a relationship with his lover for 3 years and that he exchanged cups with Rogi so he could one day see akitora again. We also know that Nozomi and Tatsuyuki became Reika's god parent. Essientally like a family of sorts, and now that he's the 4th and Asami is dead I think that akitora and Rogi will meet again cause Tora isn't confined in the way he once was and he taught Rogi loneliness .....Rogi matured in some ways. Tho cornering Tatsuyuki and basically using forced consent to fuck him was wrong but not exactly rape either. Tatsuyuki had other options but wasn't willing to hurt someone else but instead willingly hurt himself to shield them. I think victimiziing him lessens the spirit in which he did it . Yes it hurt him, both physically and mental, but he didn't see himself as a victim but as someone who could endure and survive it. He only tries to force himself to shoot Rogi because Nozomi was hurt by seeing him that way and knowing what he endured, he sags in relief when Nozomi tells him it's 'enough'. Considering how "rape" is usually portrayed , I like how the author went about this and the context in which she did it. It really plays to the strengths and weaknesses of the characters involved as displays their personalities and characteristics. I don't usually comment on manga I've read unless the characters really move me. I really love this author, instead of focusing on sex, she really develops the characters , relationships, and plot. It reads like novel with good tension and plot pacing, a page turner. I cannot wait for the updates to see if my theories bear fruit.

I like your theory too! Like I said: yaoi forever! Ane-san is cool and all and I really don't hate her, she is a Queen in her position... But there no frickin frackin way I dislike Rogi! He is the Queen and slays and bites the entire world of uke! I guess only thing I have to double check is whether Tora really has feelings for him or not... :( I really hope your theory is true! :D ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ Tho I am currently believeing in another theory to not get disappointed later on :( but I am cheering yours one as well... Cuz yaoi is the ultimate goal of a fujoshi ~_~

I Don't care if everyone hates the seme. That's a top 4 ya , provoking to stir him up and push him outta his comfort zone, shatter those walls and expose the heart . .even if its painful, then soothe the heart. If you dont love your partner enough to push a few buttons to take care of their emotional and mental well being...then. imo it isn't love. I might be biased tho , cause im the same .

have sex with his classmate and teacher if you read the end it say's they lied and tricked yukito, that's why Hokuto was pissed and Sei was apologising. Hokuto prentended that his actions were meant casually out of fear of rejection when in fact he was very serious. He didn't know Yukito distanced himself because he was in love with him. So no hating the Seme he was loyal all the 5 yrs of separation.

Yes. You can't expect people not to move on from an unrequited love ,however in this case the seme was in love with uke from childhood...they got separated from the age of puberty...and now(last year of highschool) we have a fully experienced seme in sex who still is in love with uke and even plots to drop in his house in order to close the gap...it's not really believable. It seems to me that the author didn't want to portray a virgin seme cuz that would reduce his hotness...kinda like commercial works such as james bond in which a playboy,experienced character is hotter and more attention-grabbing than a virgin hot guy.
And apart from that since I'm unable to separate love from sex and I think you can never 100%separate them (I càn provide scientific evidence ), the seme who had sex with others(not sei and shiga) after uke's leave just makes his feelings insincere to me ....but I think I can understand cuz he never even touched uke at that age so it was not like he was that attached to uke.

I have read a lot of these comments and I am not trying to Spoil the story for those who haven't read it but I do want to Clarify for those who've read the comments and decide not to read it because they think it's a tragedy. IT'S NOT!! SO SPOILER ALERT IMMA LET IT ALL OUT!!
Ahem.
In the Last few chapters Eric/One decides that in order to stop the war between Humanity and Vampires and PREVENT the collapse of civilization that Jack had set in motion a PERSON who is neither Vampire or Human but is both that bridges the gap between the two ; should play the villian.
One uses the momentum from the recent events , with Shell's help, to turn the tide from war to changing Society for the better...So that when the climate does change from it's mini Ice age, That vampires thrive in, to warmer climes more suited to humans, vampires would still have a place in the world along with humans. No longer subjugated but equals .
To do this , To enact this plan; Both One(Eric ) and Shell have to play their Roles. One As the Mastermind and Villian and Shell as Savoir and Hero. NOW IF You paid close attention after the blimp crashed and Jack is Dead. You see One reach down and PICK UP a piece of METAL as he Explains his plan to Shell and Shell is crying and is scared , he doesn't wanna do it. ONE shows him the METAL and places it in the center of his chest, implying that SHELL should shoot him there. ONE say's I Trust YOU and Kisses SHELL and then it's time For the performance. ONE ACTS out his bad guy role and Shell SHOOTS him in the spot he placed The METAL.
FASTFORWARD 3 Years Society has changed for the better and SHELL still plays his role so that he can help create the world his lover dreams of and he goes every week to the House ON theBEACH where the villian who FAKED HIS DEATH to change the world WAITS FOR SHELL THERE!! SO in CONCLUSION Eric is the Man waiting on the beach for SHELL. ERIC ISN'T DEAD he FAKED his DEATH and NOW he resides in the place his parents and he loved , he continues his fathers work while Shell does the more public side and the BEACH HOME is rebuit as a home for them.
I am sorry this is hella long but I Love this story and I wanted to share my perspective of it. The story is beautiful but you need to pay attention to other details as well because the Author doesn't just use words to tell the story , the story is also told in her art ..small details that allude and hint to different meanings and moments that foreshadow events. The art is a part of the story too it's not just to show character looks , interactions and. fucking..so pay attention to the details in the art and story....that way at the end you'll know what really happened!!! Ahhh...I love this comic , I find myself reading it and just to see if I missed something. I could write a book about it ......Oops .... I ..think ...I ..just ..did
(≧∀≦)

IMO It was quite obvious that Eric was alive, going by the way the last scene was set up. A perfect ending, with mountain loads of happiness for the two of them *cries tears of happiness* *throws white rose petals in the air*

You're supossed to take in the social standing and restrictions of each character and how they responded to each characters actions and feelings within those roles. It's a friggin historical drama. Shit like this happens..what would be the point of a lovey-dovey story with no ups or downs or obstacles to overcome? I rather liked this story. Struggle/angst and conflict make it seem more realistic.

If I hit a man, what is more important, the fact that I hit him? or my motive for doing so?
Is it the action itself or the feeling/reason behind it?
I don't understand why everyone is so pissed at the Seme.
Pain is an important part of life, it shapes us , molds us, and reveals parts of ourselves to us we might never knew existed otherwise. I say why run from it? Embrace it, face it, struggle to adapt or overcome or even accept it, but never run from pain.
Am I the only one who thinks this way? When a person's soul is laid bare, stripped of all pretenses, trembling and vulnerable, they are at their most beautiful.

O.O i don't know if i should say this is a cute way of putting it or a just super crazy way to explain it
pain cannot be avoided and should be faced and after a fall a person gets up stronger true but to actually put someone in the miserable condition you mentioned just to admire the beauty of it then that is pretty twisted yet in manga i fon't mind it as in here i simply love the seme ヾ(☆▽☆)
And I just might. Forgive me in advance for grammatical errors as I am writing with a controller on X. Now down to business. My daughter recommend this as she thought I might enjoy it. I'll reserve judgement until it's clear that it's a healthy Dominant /submissive
Or Master/slave relationship. I do want to clarify some things for the 'normal' readers before anyone gets up in arms. I'm 47 and I'm a Dominant. In my personal opinion most 'normal' people don't differentiate between Kink ,bdsm, fetishes ectra from those who explore out of curiosity and those Born this way. I'm of the latter . In a healthy Dom/sub relationship the submissive partner isn't a doormat and should be respected and cherished for the surrendering of their will to the Dominant is nothing short of a Gift. So I want to say be careful in exploring if you are of this nature, be it Dom or sub for there are many predator's lurking and use this area as a cover for abuse and worse. Find a mentor who will discuss and answer questions and Never ever practice with some you can't trust. Get it in writing! A contract of what can and can Not be done , and chose a safe word. Remember 3 rules Be Safe Be Sane Be consensual! Oh and until you form a contract /relationship with your prospective partner and can fully trust them Do Not Meet Alone!!!! Always meet in crowded places and have several means of escape. Anyone who proclaims to be a Dominant and disagree's with Anything I have said is only out to hurt you! I have seen far far too many young men and women be used and abused under the guise of a BDSM relationship! The submissive is one with power , you dictate the terms of the relationship regardless of kink. It does not matter what it is you are into.. Some Examples Sadism , Masochism , knife play , breath play , or humiliation/neglect can ALL be taken to the extreme so no matter what the subs into safety is paramount. Being a Dominant is as much if not more about Control over One's self as well as the submissive. For the submissive you are the Guide of their desires and the Rein that reels them back in from the edge so you must always walk that fine line and Not Ever lose Control of yourself or Emotions. You have to be a Master of yourself before you can be a master to another. As you can see from all I have said so far .. It takes a certain personality type to be this way . This is Me and my yard stick that I measure by, there are many types of Doms and subs , I just wanted to give an example . I am the serious type it isn't a lifestyle choice but my nature and as such likely hereditary so just in case my children are like me or submissive like their father I have provided information. I did the same here in the hopes that those who by Nature or Curiosity read this and explore , don't come to any harm. Apologies for the long statement.
Thanks, that's a lot of precious informations, if it's okay with you, can i ask some questions about this topic in private mail?
I love that there are safe people in the world like you who actively share important information for others well being instead of berating and degrading others for not knowing or placing blame when something goes wrong. I wish there were more safe and informative people in the world like you
Sure you can email me at [email protected] and I will answer anything I am able to !
Thank you for accepting it as it was meant to be helpful to both sides of the coin. When I was younger I tried to find a community of others like myself so I frequented websites like Collar Me and Bondage but what I found was Majority of them used such places like it was Tinder and it was toxic. For most it was just a way. To hook up or prey on others or was simply their 'online' persona so I stopped looking for Community as it didn't exist and what did pass for one I found disappointing. I'm not a very social person to begin with but on topics I am passionate about I get heated lol. I just don't like people to get hurt so I offer my meager help so they may make an informed choice
One more thing I forgot to say! There is no such thing as a bad question and anyone who disregards you or berates you for seeking knowledge is an ignorant ass deflecting in embarrassment because they don't know the answer so screw them and that applies to any topic not just this one ;p
or here on this site, I completely forgot it had a mail function lol
Your daughter is lucky to have a parent like you
That was really informative. Thank you. Even though I'm not into such plays I can probably share this info with those who are. (⌒▽⌒)
Love thisss thanks for the info. Also I have tried to find this topic. That was not hurting the other person just pleased them. Will it be weird to have your contact for more info?
May I ask you a question? Of course you don't have to answer if it's too personal. I was wondering since you said your daughter recommended you this story, how did she know about your dominant nature? Is it something that you're transparent about to all your family members or is it that she is like so too? And how do you feel as her mother when she recommends something so explicit? I'm from a very conservative family so anything about sex could not ever be discussed so I'm pretty fascinated by your story.
Thank you and please do
Yeah hhh i sent you a mail in this site, thank u <3
I have 4 girls and 1 boy from 21 to 27 years of age and to answer your questions I believe knowledge is power and the more you have no matter the subject , the better your critical thinking and decision making ability. I wanted to give them the power to protect themselves in any situation, so from birth I raised them to be individuals responsible for their choices , actions and the consequences of them. I treated them as my children but also people in their own right. I guided when needed but didn't interfere unless it brought harm to them or others. There is no taboo topic and I mean that literally, we have talked about everything and anything. When I said I'm Dom by nature I meant it , I am always not just sexually and so growing up they watched their parents and I taught them because if it's hereditary I didn't want them to be confused, I did the same with gender, abortion and sex ed and a billion other subjects , I taught them to have 'alone time' to satisfy sexual urges and that masterbation was normal as so was sex but I also taught them the consequences of those choices. Hmm so yes I'm transparent with my family and yes 3 have a submissive nature and 2 dominant . When she recommends explicit context I just wonder if it's a good read there isn't anything to be ashamed of, matter of fact I have no shame but I will say that during puberty I controlled all the electronics , media music movies and books because from 7 to 16 depending on mental and emotional maturity sexual desires form so I strictly controlled what they were exposed to so that they could decide without being influenced. By outside factors so that you understand Ted Bundy is a good example, he became a serial killer. Because he was exposed to snuff films and extreme content as a child. In my house both I and they have a habit of reading on a large screen T.V so can you imagine reading. Yaio and your dad or brother or sister walking in to see it displayed. On a 52 inch screen? That's my normal lol and there is no chaos or screaming it is just normal for us
[email protected] ask away
Thanks for saying so , they use this site too !
As said daughter, @phoenix thought you might like my input as well. To start how did i know about moms nature? When you're a kid you watch and learn from your parents and so i saw the dynamic between mom and dad, and in our household mom is the one that wears the pants, so to speak. I would also add so there are no misunderstandings that they were both equal in my eyes. It was never like ' i dont have to listen to what dad says because whatever mom says goes' or anything of that nature, and mom would not be okay with anyone treating dad that way, but that never happened. Now about mom being a Dom, i didnt know about that until i was 13 or 14. I had some questions about some thoughts i was having and thats how i learned about the Dom/Sub topic. Is she transparent? Yes because thats her peronality, she's never been anything other that what she is. Am I the same? Yes, but im no where near that level. And lastly how does she feel about my recommendations. I think she can answer that, but i can tell you what im thinking when i give recs. Im not really thinking 'is this explicit' or 'i shouldn't rec this to mom' those thoughts never cross my mind. However i do think ' will mom like my rec?' Or ' what is she gonna think or say when she reads this?' Sometimes i even ask her to read something because she's my sounding board and i want to talk about what i read and she'll do the same. Honestly we dont just have a mom/daughter relationship, were also like best friends. So yeah hope this answered your questions. Sheesh you can tell im her daughter look at this paragraph reply smh.
