but yeah, I do hope this manga ends with its current arc (hopefully we get a KaguraxKensuke ending...). Really, it should've ended with 32...

After reading chap. 42 I do hope that this time it doesn't end in tragedy; even though, I didn't like the whole Yomi comes back alive once again since the whole first arc of the manga was about Kagura learning to let of of her past and whatnot...
I do hope that Yomi learns to accept that Kensuke it's now a vital point in Kagura's daily life and knowing Kensuke he will probably go to Kagura's aid without thinking twice about it... by the way, I haven't had the chance to read the chapter 43, probably I will do it during the weekend but what is this important decision that Kagura made?...I'm curious to know about it..if you don't mind could you tell us, please?? |

Kagura is my favorite character in this manga by a longshot. But, lets be honest. Who would, if in Kensuke's position, actually choose to stick with Kagura. Kagura is a girl who has chosen to protect with all of her might a girl who has died multiple times, at the expense of Kensuke's feelings of course. It may be just me but I find this behavior to be more than a bit "crazy". It isn't like Kensuke has any real obligation to stay with Kagura either. Any obligation that he previously had to stay with her, which were few and hardly enforced, were cast to the side when she reorganized her obligations. Not only does sticking with Kagura have obvious dangers at this point, but when they were closer on previous occasions Kagura almost never displayed any progressive action towards their relationship. When the largest step was made she immediately lost her memories. Honestly, I would have left a girl like Kagura long ago, and I think most every other person here would have left her as well. You know, you can man up by learning to love and let go as well. Well, that's my opinion on that.
On another note, am I the only one who feels that the yuri overtones are getting stronger as the chapters progress? I've known since chapter one that there will be no actual yuri, but I can't help but feel that the author is trying to pile up the yuri overtones as high as he can while still keeping the relationship decidedly platonic. |

^So, you are saying that let's throw out of the window all of the Kagura and Kensuke relationship that has been developing since the start of the manga just because Kensuke had a moment of hesitation?...
Kensuke was a really apathetic guy at the start of the manga and it was after meeting her that Kensuke started to take life more seriously, on the other side...Kagura sealed off all of her emotions and decided to act as a happy go lucky girl after what happened with Yomi in the past. It was thanks to Kensuke that she once again was able to open up to others and thus be able to face her past... Kensuke and Kagura are the protagonists of the manga, not Yomi and Kagura. |

Some times though, things can be a bit more complex than that, for example now in the current arc of Ga-rei. Now the object of desire is "to save Yomi", and the one pursuing that goal is Kagura. So currently, she's the protagonist. What role Kensuke plays in all this? Well, if he oppose Kagura, he'll become the "anti-hero"; if he sides with Kagura, then he'll go back to be the sort of protagonist-side kick he has always been. It all depends on what the mangaka has in store for him.

I wish I was happier that I see the amount of focus around Kensuke dwindling, but it has just been carried out so poorly at times. I vastly prefer the characters of both Yomi and Kagura to Kensuke, but ever since the whole "amnesia" incident the plot feels too awkward for me to fully enjoy Kagura's and Yomi's personalities. Dam you poorly constructed continuation plot..... Dam you |

In other words, everyone (all the factions) wants Yomi, and are therefore antagonising Kagura, who is, like I said, at the center of the conflict.

Oh okay. I haven't seen her yet so far. Aside from reading Volume 9.
Even the new girl from Volume 8's there too. Shizuru reminded me of the radio show on 6/20/2009 where Segawa Spoiler for Stuff on the show:
Besides, is she really Spoiler for Shizuru's allegiance:
