Lets not forget Kannagi too. After the knowledge that the moe (I stress moe here) Nagi had an ex-boyfriend otakus went to rage (remember that they react harder to moe's) which resulted in some tearing up and burning Kannagis' manga's volumes. Mysteriously authors health condition suddenly worsened a lot and manga went on hiatus, and despite that the operation happened a while ago it is still unknown when the manga will be pushed out of hiatus (which does imply that the issue was not just the authors sickness alone but rather the depression over suddenly increased hatred towards her which she could not cope with).

Also that is that game which name I always forget (just that it was fantasy rpg game) where it is implied that there was a relationship between main heroine and some other male character when they talked with each other. It was especially funny because the issue of rage was so strong that the company had to create a special message on their web that nothing really happened between the heroine and said guy, but since it did not work (reflected in their sales) they even had to create a patch where it is corrected and once again stressed that the heroine did not have an ex who was connected with her sexually in the past.

I really don't think so. But it would be funny to see author do that, because she would be self-destructing herself. She already is bitching about the stress she gets already, so I doubt that will happen though there may be some rage increase depending on how Yuki's past is played.

Plus on this board I got an impression that more poeple are rooting for Risa rather than Yuki anyway. And for a good reason - she is pretty much only main girl who hasn't wiped her ass off with Utsu's heart so far.

At this point of neither fan of Yuki nor Shou both have mentally screwed Utsumi, Risa is the only one done anything like that well maybe the whole being silent and "bullying" thing but that wasn't the case.

Quote:
Going on a date doesn't really constitute a relationship, IMO. Utsumi never even confessed to her. Yes, the way she went about it is wrong, but you're acting like she did it malociously and was laughing at how much she hurt Utsumi. If you damn every girl for something like that, you might as well damn every girl in the world because I'm sure they've all made a mistake like that at some point.
I never implied that she did malociously, only in that she screwed up by not telling Utsumi before hand she started going out with the other guy. And the end result was Utsumi getting hurt badly to the point he started to cry later on. geez. Even the other characters in the story that found out about it said that it was mess up what Shou did and is surprised that Utsumi doesn't hold a grudge at Shou.

Anyways really hope that the story at some point doesn't lead to Shou trying to get with Utsumi. If so, I hope that Utsumi tells her that she had her chance with him but no longer and that he has moved on.

She did that to Negishi too, or else she could have just like Utsu rejected Negishi straight after the date, not smiling to the face thanking for the date and asking for the time to think over, just needless getting the guys hope ups though planning to reject him somewhere in the future already.

Utsu did the right thing by not hiding behind 'pity' or 'politeness' as an excuse to string someone along by not being clear with them like Yuki did.

It is bit annoying, but simply because Risa is so far the best girl in GE.

Let's not forget Eri, even though I doubt they'll see each other like that. She's still tops in my book along with Risa...

Well Eri is not a main character in terms of love interest. And I still consider her to be rather dumb/air headed considering the circumstances that she met Utsu (you know the whole sex issue).

True, but once she got past that she matured. Sort of like Utsumi graduating from being a stalker to not being a stalker...

Well Utsu went back to being a stalker with Yuki (you can say that he was worried but we all know just as his friends that thats was just one of the reasons really) again so I don't think this one is completely over with.

I do believe that would incite rage from her fans.

I think what she did to Utsumi is understandable, even if it was foolish. But one reason why that happened was to shake things up.

If you damn every girl for something like that, you might as well damn every girl in the world because I'm sure they've all made a mistake like that at some point.

While it's true that Shou may have gotten Utsumi's hopes up, so did Yuki with the date to the concert and the vague answer. The whole thing about this date with Risa was to show Utsumi not wanting to do the same thing to Risa that Yuki was doing to him.

I honestly think people are playing favorite. Yuki could go sleep with Tooru and she'd still be forgiven by her fans.
She duped, and pretended otherwise. If she had been clear with him I wouldn't have so much of a problem with it, but she deliberately misled him on that point. I'm not saying people can't make mistakes, simply that some mistakes can't be so easily forgiven or forgotten.

And that is total BS, she had know idea about Utsumi's feelings when Shou did, she went at his request under the impression he was paying her back, and at least she made herself more clear then Shou certainly did.

Now I certainly wouldn't be among them in that case, and if we're talking about who possibly slept with who I think Shou might be more of a candidate on that score... <_<

Shou very likely slept with that boy. There was that hickey indicating that there relationship quickly became physical and after finding out that he may have cheated she had gone to he's place which didn't look like it was her first time being there. Then there's the fact that he's ex-gf had cheated on him several times, probably as a guy he wanted to sleep with another girl to deal with the fact that he's gf was with another guy. So who did he go after Shou, why? Because he knew of her feelings towards him, it made her an easy target to be able to sleep with easily.

Hickey is nothing - it's first base. There is no evidence indicating anything went past that. If anything, you could argue that nothing did happen because the guy went to another girl for what he couldn't get from Shou, and vice versa.

Not likely. Most likely they went all the way up and the hickey was the best way to indicate that. How else can you show they had sexual intimacy?

By hickeys or else Utsu would have needed to witness the scene himself which would have been too cruel even for GE that likes to crap on the main.

Even without sex it indicated a strong physical closeness one way or another, and hickeys my friend appear from very strong making out and mostly by sex. Sorry to tell you but hickeys are not done like the kisses on cheek or on the forehead, so it is not exactly nothing.

They do include a very close physical contact and that is usually sexual one. You can be in denial but it does seem like the author want to suggest sex/or very strong physical relationship that is as good as sex (lots of frenching, groping and kissing all over the body).

Considering the douchebag's personality, it's very likely that he porked Shou by the third date.

He so banged her heck she dropped Utsumi in an instant to go with that guy and willing to pretend at first that he wasn't cheating on her, I doubt it would had taken much effort from him to get things rolling to the bed seeing how much she was in love with him and he clearly knew it. Oh and you forgot to counterpoint the part that she had visited he's place more than just once.... guess they were just "studying together" eventhough there there was no one else in he's apartment, yeah that's it they were just studying.

Bingo. He saw Shou as nothing more than a easy girl to sleep with while he was still hung over he's previous gf. Even after getting back with he's previous gf he was willing to keep Shou as a 2nd gf (more like a booty call) aka the other girl he sleeps with, just like what her previous gf did with some other guy's.

Lol good one. Well Drago could still say she comes over his house just to 'study', clean and cook. And then the rest of the time she just lovey dovey looks at him, watches TV or brushes off his advances...

But in all seriously it does imply close relationship either with sex or very very close to sex where we come to leaving hickeys part and differently from what Drago says they do carry a meaning, bigger one than the kisses on the lips.

First of all you have to let someone to kiss you intimately on neck or shoulders, secondly it has to be strong/passionate enough to leave the mark - it cannot be just a peck on the skin.

Thats why the hickey does imply passionate physical closeness and sex which as a rule comes with it.

Yeah. If it would be like Drago suggested then it would not make sense for him to try to keep Shou if she does not allow him get his touches. Its not like Shou is very good cook and risking your other gf over just someone who would do cleaning ould seem weird so logical coclusion does imply that he was getting his from Shou and thats why he was willing to try to keep her even finding another girl.

And before you say that he was keeping her around so taht he could get into her pants someday for real, let me remind you of his personality - he doesnt seem to be patient enough to go for something that seems to be unachievable and risk his new (old) GF over that as well.

A hickey in no way implies actual sex. As in, all the way.
