Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. I am really in love with this manga! Just two chapters and I can barely wait for more! I mean for one, it is so sexy. Beautiful art. Also, the factor of how it is progressing is another interesting thing about this story. I like the interaction between these two and how conflicting and confusing feelings are getting in the way without losing all the humor. It's a mix of one thing and another. Definitely enjoying this!
Oh gawd. I don't know if I even have the words to describe how I'm feeling after reading this. I had read the extra but then I had to re-read the whole story again because I can't help the temptation. This is one of my most favorite reads ever. Kuroda has his own flaws and he is not a righteous person but his love has been real at one point. I think he was really poisoned by his disappointments of his parents that he has been carrying the burden all his life. That despite all his achievements he can never feel fulfilled. His short relationship with Tooru is probably the best thong that has ever happened to him because he was happy back then. His feelings were all real and he treasured Tooru altogether. At the end though, he was still the child who has been neglected by his parents that's why he has been afraid of what he has done. Another mistake, another disappointment. He is not faultless, he has committed a crime which cost a mother's life. I wouldn't say that the death is a good thing but I think it was bound to happen to teach them all a lesson in life. The atonement must have been in Kuroda's sickness and I think despite trying to appear strong and play the bad guy role he has been regretting his actions. He has such a complex and twisted personality that I don't know who Kuroda really is but his character added so much flavor in this story. At the end I can only say, End Game is worth every second of my time. I love it so very much.
..but writes an awful lot of words :P. Kidding.
I had the same feelings and also started with the Extra.

Haha. It's nowhere near Madarame Hiro's, if you're familiar with her works. :D I think this one, all of the words are quite necessary or I'm just being bias, because I really like the story. ^^
Hm, i cant rly compare Madarames and Yamanakas Work. Madarame has a lot of funny Parts which mellow the "Drama" Parts. Well the Characters may have a similarity
Ah no, I am only pertaining to the amount of words and not really the mangakas style/whole concept of their stories. These two mangakas are very different in most ways but are two of my favorites as well.
Funny and light. But I have to say it's typical stupidity of teens that was explored in this story. While some teens doesn't think the way they do, there are always those type who jump into things that are new to them. Experimentation people. This is I think meant to be a bit on the humorous side but you can't help interpreting this as somehow idiotic. Plot is actually used up. By the end though, it was an okay read for me.
This is very interesting. Sensei does a varying set of yaoi mangas and deliver stories that are both unique and enjoyable. This one has been a mix of fun, pure sex (that borders crazy) and conflicting feelings. There's a bit of seriousness but easily outshine by the funny moments. Always looking forward to the next chapters.
Haha. Tactics. Dirty? Hmmm. Indirectly but meh, as long as they are not disobeying any rules it is not illegal at all. Aslo, Nekoma has to be tougher than that! Trashy words are not enough to cost them their victory!!!! Go Nekoma!
Aw. I really, really love it. It may be twisted but I can't help be drawn to it. Although it doesn't seem it will go as smooth sailing as some relationships do, it promises a lot of real feelings. The bittersweet taste of this story still lingers in my mouth.
Very, very promising! How is it that even though the sexiness is astounding in every Zaria's work, the story will always come out and compete with the art. This is not your usual sex-driven piece but as Zaria's work, there is bound to be the deep and complex taste of the whole story itself. I want to see everything. I want to know everything. This is another masterpiece.
How can people dislike this comment ;-;
Hahaha. You know everyone has their own opinion on things and people disliking my comments isn't really bothering me. But thanks! I feel like you're defending what I've said. :)
Before, when I was waiting impatiently) for monthly updates, I always feel like I'm on the edge. Always with my heart beating wildly, trying to guess what will happen and the excitement is just all over me. But lately, it is not that I have lost interest, at this part of the manga, this should have been one of those climaxes/main point but why am I feeling utterly unexcited, uninspired? Not beaten down, no, I'm not losing hope for them but is this what I call Isayama-sensei dragging the story? Or maybe because I'm not feeling their situation but... oh well. I'll just keep on reading.
If Eren (and Levi) don't evolve soon, it's gonna be annoying. But at least we're seeing the whole Bertie/Reinert (hopefully LAST ) stand. I want them both dead. I felt sorry for them before, cuz Reinert was totally going loonyville. But after learning about Marco, just die. Die. Die horribly, you pigs.
Hahaha. I have kind of just decided to never ever assume the death of Reiner and Bert because they are almost fucking immortal. One moment you will think Reinier died already, then the next he's out there being all his crazy self. I mean I got bored of the same pattern. Unless I see Reiner being blown to pieces and like really murdered excruciatingly, then I'll believe he's dead. But I think he will be living like hundreds of years more with how the story's going. *shrugs* And yes, after I have learned that they had a hand on Marco's death, my hate and disgust for them just increased tenfold. My main concern is that they die in the most painful way, Annie included. Oh I fucking hate those three along with the Beastial titan.
Annie, at least, tried to stop them. I give her some props for that. And for a long time, I just tried to understand their side and how hard it must be to be away from family and given a mission. We still don't fully know their side of the story.
But Marco killed it. They could have found a way to work around it. Marco was not the brightest bulb and they could have come up with some excuse and confused or distracted him. But to throw him to a titan to be eaten. SCREW THEM. I hope they get eaten slowly and painfully and Eren takes their powers. Yes, eat them EREN. Take their powers.
Nah, the mere fact that Annie knows what they're doing is wrong (to silence Marco by leaving him to die) is not enough to make me feel any sympathy for her. They all have their reasons, goals but betraying those people who trusted you is the gravest mistake they have committed. With Eren and the Corps they killed titans (people that tried to kill them as well) because they are endangering him and his friends' lives, with the sole intent to kill them but Bert, Annie and Reiner don't spare any feelings or thoughts, because they are blind-sided by their common goal which for me is enough for them to keep on going but not enough to be pitied and sympathized at all.
I am so looking forward to the day that those three will die.
I have read this (Basara) manga even before I got into yaoi and there's this particular scene when they (Sarasa and Ageha) were with the prisoners (I think) and Sarasa was still Tatara at that time. And the prisoners were kinda 'smelled' a woman among them and it was Ageha who stood for Sarasa and let himself be used (fucked) by men. I understand that it was part of his life, being a dancer and performer/entertainer as he travels with his group, but that time I haven't grasped what the extent of what he did for Sarasa. I think he really loved Sarasa, as much as one can love a family member closer to your most important person in life. I think Ageha sees Sarasa as a salvation of sort, not only for himself but for a lot of people. Ageha always provided every support he can and protected Sarasa as best as he could. He (Ageha) is my most favorite character, after him, on almost equal term, are Sarasa and the Red King.
Basara is one of those stories that makes you look back how hard life is before all this advance technology yet it shows you that living/surviving does not depend on what life has but on how we tackle and live our lives. This story is politically-showered/challenged and most characters are, in a way, sullied by the way people of authority runs the country.
Ending was bittersweet but none less realistic. After one survival, there's another hurdle to overcome not just for our main characters but for most of them. This story has wisdom on every turn, words filled with truth and sharpness that it will sting you but it will also open your eyes. While this was set historically, it is not too different with the modern world. Basara in itself is a continuous lesson, one that you'll find yourself adapting.
Truly, truly a great read! A must have adventure!!!!
You summed it up so very nicely.
I actually wanted to say more things because I don't think I can ever grasp the brilliance of this manga in my words but glad that you agree on how I see this wonderful story. :)
Wow. I'm just lost for words. While the parallel world clearly is sweet and all that that I would have hoped for, clearly it's still like a dream. That even though it is a whole new setting, still these two are different persons from the real Itou and Kyou. My heart was pacified for a moment and then it broke into a million pieces more than when I finished with chapter seven. In a way this is cruel. Like the life or at least the happiness that was robbed off from them was being flaunted. Of course I am happy got these two people but it also made me sadder that the other Itou an Kyou are still out there, lost and hurting. While I know this is the end I am hoping as much as I can that somehow we can get another closure, preferably something that involves Itou and Kyou being in each other's arms. Memories gained and love more powerful than ever. Sigh. I can only dream for these two lost souls but still a very wonderful read.
