She said "Takayuki is no longer the boy that she was chasing 3 years ago." In reality, nobody (at least not in my oriental culture) would accept a man (aka my boyfriend) who has slept with my friend (let alone a bestfriend)! That kind of thing is just culturally and morally wrong. Ironically, it's a different matter altogether if Takayuki was to hook up with a total stranger. Your comment of "I would easily be able to accept the actions that Mitsuki took as well as the actions of Takayuki" tells just how insignificant you think of love. But that is NOT Haruka. She certainly doesn't look at love so callously like you said. Otherwise, she would not have slapped Mitsuki and told her to go away and bid farewell to Takayuki. She intends to sever all ties with those that betrayed her - which is the right decision - and to go on with her life. But did she ever once said or showed any assent for both Takayuki and Mitsuki to be together? She was basically telling Takayuki that he may leave her now and do whatever he wants with his life but she would not be part of. I think I understand this better than you do. I would be surprised if you can understand even half of what I am trying to convey here.
Wow, you are a presumptuous one aren't you....to sit there and tell me that I don't hold love as a high regard you must really know me eh? I'm sure my wife would have quite a bit in opposition to what you say, and considering she is of Japanese origin, I kinda think it'll also null and void your whole "oriental" comment, which she laughed at when she read your original assumption.

What you are doing is imparting your beliefs onto people and, well sweetheart, that doesn't go over so well. I told you that I would easily be able to accept the circumstances and understand the point behind it, as well as I told you that it makes absolutely perfect sense as to why the events took place in KimiNozo.

Haruka didn't totally subject herself to cutting off from Takayuki or Mitsuki, if you actually watched the ending you might have caught on to this, but apparently it flew far above your reach. Haruka gave Takayuki the farewell because of exactly what she said, that Takayuki is not the same man from three years ago and that he has grown up. Haruka told him goodbye for the simple fact that she understands that 3 years is a long time, especially considering the circumstances, and that things are inevitably going to change. To this end, it shows Haruka's acceptance of maturity and changes.

Whatever reasons Mitsuki make love to Takayuki is unimportant. It is the fact that they did is the whole point here.
Wow, you've got some pretty funny view of things...the reasons Mitsuki did the act is the biggest thing there is, outside of the accident of course.

Quote:
It was morally wrong and unfair to Haruka (as the guy's girlfriend and the girl's bestfriend) that is the issue here.
No, my friend, it's morally wrong for you, and that is a big difference especially when considering the events that take place within the anime. You seem to be trying to say that your moral compass is the only one there is in the world.

Quote:
Even though your lover (and your bestfriend) are in a coma, that is still not an excuse to 'comfort' each other sexually.
Yes, the love who is in a coma, has been for over a year, and have been barred from seeing her ever again. Yea, that seems like Takayuki had much going for him there, didn't it...or did you overlook this small part?

Quote:
While I understand perfectly all their actions given the circumstances and their feelings for each other, that still doesn't make Takayuki and Mitsuki's actions righteous.
So, you don't think Mitsuki saving the man she loves from probably committing suicide either in a physical sense or an emotional sense righteous? O...k....

Quote:
Do you understand what I am saying here? One of my point is since Mitsuki has decided to let her bestfriend (Haruka) have Takayuki even against her own heart's desire - that was noble - then she should have lay her fingers off her bestfriend's man.
As per circumstance, Haruka and Takauki's relationship was over...Haruka's family forbade him from seeing/visiting her and it was already a year into the coma. So in effect, Mitsuki did nothing wrong other than to override her feelings for Haruka and to open her heart to Takayuki.

Quote:
But given the growing strong feelings she already has for the boy, it is understandable...but still, that does not necessarily make the actions seemed right. Therefore, it is still betrayal no matter how you see it. A betrayal of Haruka's love for Takayuki and trust for Mitsuki.
There's no betrayal, sorry...a betrayal is to take something while it is currently engaged with something else. With Takayuki effectively spiraling through depression over the inability to see Haruka and the accident all-together, there was nothing to take Takayuki from other than that...and if that is betrayal, then damned if it isn't warranted.
