kei_k's manga / #Time Progression(4)

Ch 19. Wow, it's very interesting in a way that it''s pretty realistic. I like how certain emotions are incorporated to the characters... Honestly, the 'twist' was quite predictable, what with that Gotouda lying about lying. Err, I just had the feeling that Murase was really Gotouda since I saw him (even when he changed that face). I mean, even with the story he came up with, I didn't believe his BS 'coz it's just too coincidental and his previous actions contradicted it. Also, can we talk about how they didn't bring up him being called as "Gotouda-san" in the plastic surgery clinic? Err,, Anyway, this manga just made me broaden my perspective on this subject. I can see how unfair the law really is. I can quite understand how some people no longer believe in it and want to take justice with their own hands. But anyway, it's really interesting. I want to see how the story would develop from here on. Anyway, about Nobara taking Kotori's place, from the beginning, I thought it was a bad idea. If we think about it in the long run, it would've been better for her to admit their lie sooner than living like that and constantly being scared of being exposed.. Especially since she went to court as Kotori when she was Nobara. She'd also be questioned with the DNA test she cheated on. I mean, sure, if she admitted it in the beginning, it's possible that she'd be blamed again, but c'mon, she just heard how her mother didn't deny her anymore. And it was foolish of her to think that she'd rather be the one to die. Anyway, that wouldn't change the fact that one of them died, so why make the pain heavier? She just added more lies. She should've just been honest. So yeah. I'm also interested on how things will go for Yuuwa, too, of course, especially because he lied for Nobara now. Ahhh Nobara, she should've planned it better you know? But I guess in her state of mind, it wasn't possible to think logically anymore. Hrrrr. Anyway, personally, of course I resent that guy. Sure, he couldn't bring back Kotori and all that, and I would've considered forgiving him a little if he really did change but he didn't change at all. Lying and pretending.. I guess it's true that she didn't expect Hime to be Nobara's friend (or he forgot, bec you know, he practically stalked Nobara before so it's possible to have seen her) but it's hard for me not to think that he intentionally let Hime fall to have miscarriage since he didn't really plan to settle with her.

I didn't cry but I was really sad and my heart hurt.. If I read this earlier, would've been more emotional, but realizing some things I know now, I find the relationships realistic... And that's why it scares me more. How can I hold on to a love until the end, with both of us wholeheartedly loving? Err.. Anyway, I wanted to know more about how Akari's life went on.. If I were to choose, I guess I like Risa for Takaki bec she's the only one he's been able to be honest with in the end, and she's beey mature. Besides, like he said, he was able to talk with her smoothly. I think their relationship would've really worked out if Takaki wasn't held back by his feelings for Akarri. It's not like he's still in love, but because the feelings he had when he was was pure and serious, he felt like he betrayed humself. But it's called growing up. They both knew they probably wouldn't work out in the future, but in Takako's pure mind, he believed he can do it so he wanted to wait and pursue her. So when Risa said they need not to promise about the future, I had hopes. I liked her decision bec it does not tie them both. If they made a promise, it will be like his feelings for Akari again. I understand this now. For the uncertain, it's better not to make promises. Otherwise, one might fulfill it just for the sake of not breaking the promise even if they don't feel it anymore. As for Kanae, I liked her too, she was innocent and her love was pure, but somehkw, I want her to be with someone else. It's cute for a school romance, but I think she needs a more mature guy to complement her innocence.

Irritating bec of too much miscommunication. I liked the uke's attitude about working things out for their 'forever' though.
