Hyakuen is really cute, I'm a fan of it too. As for this one, it isn't a 2 guys being with 1 girl at the same time thing, no; that's just for the cover. The real situation is more like the usual love triangle, actually. However, it's been pretty clear from the beginning that the guy with the black hair is the real love interest, and the story has kept it that way.
:P don't worry about the spread, and please do continue to check this one out. I'm pretty sure the spread is only that way for the sake of being hot and pretty. |

The Kitami's mysterious friend Mami made her appearance this chapter. I'm really curious to see how Yukina will react to her next chapter... its should be interesting since the theme lastest has been jealousy.
I have to agree with this, he needs to back off.

This is funny, as no one(except me i think) was saying how annoying Kitami has been since the beginning of the manga. Akira hasn't done anything [relatively] different than Kitami, except Akira is actually man enough to admit and follow through with his feelings. I don't see how Akira can be annoying when he's trying to get the girl he loves AND be upfront about it, yet Kitami isn't despite the fact that he claims he doesn't love her, yet, keeps trying to keep Akira away. To me, THAT is annoying! Kitami is clearly the "bad guy" in this situation.

Akira's being a selfish, possessive little ass who seriously needs to back off and respect Yukina's feelings. This is the situation here: Spoiler:
^ He might have well as said that!! So until he shows the slightest hint that he wants Yukina to be happy instead just himself, I'm hating on his ass. >_> Did you see his eyes when he looked at the photograph? He's going yandere on us. That's what jealousy does, I guess. Kitami isn't being unmanly. He's being a tsundere and tsunderes are cute. Besides, Spoiler:
Another point is: Akira has told Yukina he loves her yet he doesn't seem to love her enough to let her make her own decisions, and when she does, he sabotages them! Kitami has not told her he loves her yet but it's clear he's starting to, however he has not made her do anything she hasn't wanted to do since chapter 4 and I think that says a lot. Actions speak louder than words.

Akira is more honest with his feelings which generally makes him a bit more likable for me. But I agree with HayashiTakara. Both aren't anything special but Akira is a lot better so far and also that might have been the worst date chapter I've ever read. The chemistry was in the negative range.

Eh? There's a serious coversation about this manga? I didn't think much of it, other then it being an extremely moe high school romance comedy. The characters seem pretty stereotypical for shoujo manga standard, I don't really see a problem with the characters .

IT'S DIFFERENT BECAUSE YUKINA LIKED IT. She likes it. Kitami knew she didn't want to go with Akira and he pretty much did her a favor by hiding her from him. She likes Kitami and she likes being with Kitami. Taking her away from him makes her sad. Akira is either too stupid or too selfish to understand this. Quote:

There is a boatload of hypocrisy at the center of your criticism of Akira. You prefer Kitami so because Akira has the "nerve" to be forward with her then he must be "stupid" or "selfish" etc.. Quote:
I think in the end Kitami will almost certainly win out but I don't see the purpose of making out Akira to be some sort of bad person because of his standing of the way of your pairing. That is the beginning and end of your motives for criticizing him and you should at least acknowledge that.

Geeze, don't just make random judgements on why I like things and why I hate things when you don't even know me. Why can't I just hate Akira for his personality? That IS the only reason you know. I find his character totally unlikable, I found his character unlikable from the very beginning and NOW I think he's being a pushy brat which is making him even more unlikable and that's all there is to it.

I didn't make random judgments I just called you out on something that was extremely obvious that you were doing. I never inferred you couldn't hate Akira personality but that you were bashing him solely for that reason.

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention characters I like who have gotten in the way of my favorite couples have never stooped as low as Akira is doing? So sorry, my mistake. "Characters I like who have gotten in the way of my favorite couples have never stooped as low as Akira is doing." He's just going too far, all right? Now drop it. You don't like Kitami. I don't like Akira. Fine. I like this manga, I am free to bash whoever I like and so is everyone else but I do not want us to bash each other or this topic is going to get locked. ORZ Let's go back to being adults now. Frankly, I'm getting irritated of being called "a hypocrite" and "condescending" and "narrow-visioned". I am SO done with this childish argument.

Will you stop telling others that they need to read the manga properly? Will stop using duh like you know it all? What about calling me a jerk? Do you think trying to pretend your the "adult" in this conversation means you've actually acted like one or aren't just using it to avoid addressing the unfair biases in your criticism of Akira? Do honestly think I'm a jerk?? Is that your opinion of me? What do you think my opinion of you might be?

The manga started out well but fell into the cliche pit very fast; Akira's confession was predictable quite a few chapters ago, the most predictable route for the current situation is: Shigure's pushy girl having her way with him and Yukina catching them red-handed and getting revenge by dating Akira.
I really hope that Akira has more to his character than blind love towards Yukina and endless hatred for Shigure, and I don't want him helping out Shigure later on so that Yukina can be happy with the guy she's in love with...would feel like re-reading forgotten manga of the past decade. |
