We have another couple for now, but... I think it's necessary to develop Karino & Azusa story. Personally I found these characters the most fascinating. I like other pairings too, but I think that they aren't as interesting as Karino x Azusa. By the way, I would understand a change of subject if the 1st pairing would be better developed, but there are still to many questions to leave them aside... Their relationship need further development more than 2nd pairing for example. I feel somehow troubled about this turn of events, but I still believe that Ogawa Chise knows what she's doing and she have a goal in this all (I think we have a proof, because Karino appears in the new chapter and we can see another 'puzzle piece' of his scheme). Anyway, I hope we can see the main pairing soon...
this couple helped me to value Karino a little bit more. This new seme yatoru whatever his name,wants his uke to feel miserable and with a low self esteem,while on the other hand Karino doesn't want a week azusa,nor does he want to see him being miserable and without self esteem. So,this chapter kinda drew the difference between this 2 semes
I think you are right about different goals. To me, both Yatori and Kuze want to emotionally manipulate weak ukes and keep the ukes dependent solely on them. As Kiss said, Karino wants Azusa to fight--but Karino also wants to be the only one controlling Asuza. So in my eyes, all three seme's are about control, but Kuze and Yatoari do it through sneaky emotional manipulations, whereas Karino openly takes it and wants someone who will fight him for it. I think that's why I like Karion best of all the semes (even if I want to see him bleed a little for Asuza). The others all blow sunshine up the uke's ass, but Karino comes at it directly. (And since this is a story about masks, fo some reason I want to find evidence that the one seme who says it's just a game is the only one who has actual feelings, but that isn't necessarily what is happening).
I think Karino takes what he wants because he's used to it. He's really confident and he's not scared of consequences. Kuze doesn't want Atsumu to hate him, that's why he prefers sneaky methods to approach his uke. Karino is a sadist so he's different. He's fine with Azusa's hatred, he is even happy about it because he finds it amusing.
I really want Karino to have some true feelings for Azusa, but in the same time I'm well aware of the fact that it's never going to be a 'love' in a meaning we use to describe normal affection towards someone. Karino's actions must much his true sadistic nature. But Azusa is not a masochist, so unfortunately I don't see any hope for them...
I see karino as a sadist/dom more of a dom than a sadist though(but not an emotional one as yatoru,emotional sadist ),while azusa as a dom/masochist(which explains why he fights but enjoys the sex) so they still have a chance. You're right,karino is used to have what he wants without fighting so azusa entertains him. It makes me laugh cuz even karino's brother is pissed of by him,he treats everyone like shit lol. But still,I think there's something more to it,I hope so ^^' After reading this chapter and ogawa's note that she wanted this manga to have a happy ending,well depends on the kind of happy ending...
Sadly, I can't bring myself to like Keigo at all. He acts like a jerk for Tomoya. He has no respect for his feelings, but he has no respect for himself too. Usually rape victim should have some kind of trauma and avoid the rapist at all costs, but Keigo seems to be ok with being his sex partner. He was sober this time, he could defend himself if he wanted, but he prefers whoring himself with the rapist. I can't even call him a victim anymore...
I understand what u think, but you can't say '' he has no respect for his feelings'' because until now he hasn't shown his love for Keigo or tried to make Keigo his. As someone as Keigo's personality, Tomoya should do something or proove that he truly loves Keigo, and anyway it is too early to judge Keigo, we are in the beginning of story.
I mean that he shouldn't go straight to have sex with Tomoya a while after he found out about his feelings. It's just like saying 'I let you fuck me once so be happy, but I don't treat you seriously anyway'. I know that Tomoya didn't do anything to prove his feelings so far, but I think that Keigo isn't fair anyway. He knows what's going on and he's still acting like it's just a 'quick fucking' without any meaning (and probably he really thinks that way). Well, I hope you are right and Keigo will show his better side soon.
'' He knows what's going on and he's still acting like it's just a 'quick fucking' without any meaning '' < I think Keigo that kind of person, even If he know Tomoya's feeling he wouldn't treat him in another way or be gentle with him because he that kind of person who take everyting easy without a deep meaning or thinking ( don't because he wouldn't respect his feeling or will hurt him ) and maybe because Keigo like that Tomoya attractive to him ( Tomoya is the serious type) well let us see what will happen next chapter , when Tomoya finally decide to do something. <3 <3
Well, a lot of people are comparing Kaoru & Haruka with Komatta characters and I can't help but also compare these two pairings. I quite like this story and the pairing too, but personally I felt more love from Kiyomine x Takara. I don't know why exactly... It's weird because they weren't in an official relationship. It was supposed to be rather really deep, intimate friendship/ bromance then typical love story, but I actually felt they love even without sex scenes. I miss this atmosphere in Kimi Wa Boku Wo Suki Ni Naru. Sometimes I thought that maybe Kaoru just went with the flow and he doesn't really care about Haruka so much... Especially when it comes to the sex scenes. Kaoru knows that he's hurting Haruka but he continues anyway... I couldn't understand him at all.
Man r u guys seriusly comparing a manga with almost 100 chapter to this... ¬.¬"
Recently I was looking for some good BL but it's hard to find something really promising and original. Well, this manga is a revelation for me. It's getting hotter with every chapter even without actual sex scenes. The sexual tension between characters is great. So far, I prefer the first pairing (Ikemen x scary but cute face mc) than the second one (friend x teacher x homophobe triangle) but I think that second one has a potentail too. Probably I also have a fetish - but it's not legs fetish but scary/cute face uke fetish ;)
You are so right! About everything!
I'm almost 100% sure everything will be ok in the end, but I'm sad anyway. I really hate things like making someone a substitute for another person. I don't care if this someone is serious or not, I can't help but feel bad for him.
