Hakumei was extremely beautiful!! Super bishounen with an air of elegance.
Now as to the confusing mistress, main, branch families.
What I got was that Aoi’s dad had been the Inugami then he left/refused to be the Inugami any longer, whether that was because he simply wanted out or he met and fell in love with a girl, idk.
Anyway I think Aoi was conceived after his dad left/quit because as Munekaze said ‘the Inugami don’t have what is needed to reproduce’.
The Main branch family died off, with the exception of Aoi and Munekaze (the twin). Munekaze bacme the new Inugami and Aoi was allowed to live because through the Kami’s attachment to Aoi’s father, he felt as though Aoi was his own child.
Aoi’s dad turned into a dog and later dies, his mom leaves and later dies as well, leaving Aoi to relatives.
The only family from the Main Branch left alive are Munekaze (Uncle) and Aoi (Nephew). I guess Aoi and Hakumei are related. Thanks to the Inu blood running through Aoi’s veins, he is able to visit the temples without the Kami’s power damaging him.
Its a lot of reading between the lines with this fic. Its a good fic but I would have rather had the fic be 20 volumes long and get the full story vs what we got here.
Good Fanfic material though, someone, anyone. ; ) let me know.
I have been reading this manga for years now, it never gets old and I can easily start reading it all over again right after finishing it.
The only wish I have concerning this manga is that I hope beyond hopes that Miyuki Abe-sama would consider writing one more volume in which both Takara and Kiyomine end up together as in are a couple.
It could be a continuation of where the manga ended or even a time skip, but all I want is to see the two whole heartedly kiss and know that the world know they love one another
This manga was beautiful in so many ways. It was genuinely heartfelt, so emotional and gripping. I want more manga like this one.
