kei_k's manga / #Love Triangle(62)

87 (final chapter is 91. will mark it as read for now) Really liked the beginning.. but towards the middle, kinda irritating.. and about the rape.. I mean, sure, people have the right to change, but I dunno.. I'm not sure I can do the same if it were me.

Too bad it was kind of open-ended but it was heavily implied who the couples will be.. It was kinda sad that Yuuki and Sekiya didn't happen and Sekiya's been more conscious of Kasai bec of the kiss. It's annoying how it seems like an unspoken rule that whoever steals the heroine's first kiss, even if she hated him to the core, would be her love interest... Well Kasai wasn't exactly bad either, just that Yuuki was closer to my type. And Himemiya, well, she wasn't that annoying. She's even stronger than the MC. I guess in a way, she's more likable because she really speaks her mind even if she's hated, instead of going around being "kind" and not wanting to look bad.

WARNING: HORRIBLE. I REREAD THIS TODAY, 02/04/17 AND I FEEL SO BAD. IT LEFT A BITTER TASTE IN MY MOUTH ESP WITH THAT ENDING. IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE JUN WOULD'VE JUST GONE WITH THE FLOW WITH IZUMI IF NENE DIDN'T SHOW UP. SO WHAT'S WITH HIM ACTING SO COOL, SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT?! HE'S TOO HALF-HEARTED I COULDN'T LIKE HIM DESPITE ME LIKING HIS APPEARANCE (THOUGH KEISUKE LOOKS HOTTER BEC OF HIS BLACK HAIR AND INTERESTING HOBBY). AS FOR NENE, SHE SURELY IS STRONG, BUT ALSO PATHETIC IN MY EYES. I DON'T LIKE HER THAT MUCH BECAUSE SHE REMINDS ME OF WHAT I COULD'VE DONE OR HOW LOW I WOULD'VE GONE TO KEEP ONE GUY. TSK. I WOULD'VE LIKED HER BETTER IF SHE MADE PUNISHED AND MADE HIM REMORSEFUL AND WE ACTUALLY SAW IT INSTEAD OF JUST GIVING US THAT BIT WHERE NENE "COOLLY" ACTED LIKE SHE'S READY TO DROP HIM IF HE DOESN'T BEHAVE 'COS SHE OBVIOUSLY WON'T. UGH. OVERALL, I REALLY LIKED THE ART AND THE STORY COULD'VE BEEN MORE INTERESTING IF IT GOT EXECUTED PROPERLY. I FEEL LIKE DESPITE GETTING THESE HARD FEELINGS, A STORY LIKE THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE TOUCHING, LIKE HOW LOVE IS TRULY SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND, BUT SADLY, THIS MANGA FAILED TO DELIVER THAT. I'M STILL GIVING IT 2 STARS BEC OF THE ART AND BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY STRONGLY AFFECTED ME. JUST NOT ENOUGH TO CALM ME DOWN.

start: 06/02/19 up: 06/02/19 ~ ch 7 // I have mixed feelings for Chika.. I mean I like him, except in *that* department (confirmed by ch 7).. I just feel uncomfortable to those who swear they love someone so much but can't bear to confess or hurt them or whatever, so they sleep around with others... Ugh.. I mean, I also get his way of thinking... He's scared that if he pursues Azuki to the next level and start a romantic relationship with her, at some point in time, they'd just break up and separate. He didn't want that, so he held back. And that's fine.. But only if he'd really stick to it. It just irks me when someone who chose to "sleep around" instead of confessing still feel entitled to feel like they own the person they like or something.. I mean, Chika's not exactly like that, but the way he showed off to Mizuki about how "close" he and Azuki are, it's kinda frustrating.. Especially when Azuki's being so oblivious to everything. I guess it's just a personal preference for me, that I always prefer to quiet/cold/naive type rather than the overly friendly/flirty/mischievous type.. Well, in this case, it feels like Chika is still the end game, but personally, I prefer Mizuki. No, erase that. I wanted Mizuki's personality in Chika's identity. Something like that. lol. I mean, personally, I kinda like a childhood friend over a new guy, because it feels like he's already a part of my life.. though in a way, it'd take time to see him in a romantic way.. Eh.. But back to the story, I guess Azu is just oblivious about her feelings for Chika, and her feelings for Mizuki are just a little more obvious so it seems like she may be interested in him that way.. But maybe it's really just curiosity and a new feeling -- different from how she's always been with Chika. But deep down, maybe she's just comfortable/complacent that Chika's already part of her life so no matter what she does, he'll always be there..
