Minamoto-Kun Monogatari

[zezegui222]

@Fortebraccio: Well, this is just my opinion but I reread the early chapters and she admit to Minamoto that she hated man in the past, because of this a think she is virgin (well... if she is, she is virgin with much theoretical experience)

IIRC no, we just have that ash*** professor in the festival who tries that bet (i don't remeber the chapters, maybe 160?)
A man tries something... only was that african assh*** guy trying to rape the 10th girl but Minamoto saves her (ch 240-250 i think).

Ah no. I don't know japanese and don't remember correctly the chapters raws, but Minamoto wasn't with her, he was temporary in another place. She was just in his bed and feeling alone. I check the raws in tieba baidu sometimes, but it's just "i only know how to read the image"

And that last chapter, 266:

Spoiler for :

Tsukiko tries but... (she is the 11th girl)

Of all the girls, Minamoto don't have sex with 3??
1st - cousin
5th - cute child
10th - ?? i don't know a definition for her

[NAJ P. Jackson]

I have a bad feeling that Kaoruko was raped when she was young which is why she started hating men. I hope not.

[zezegui222]

@NAJ P. Jackson: I wasn't think in this possibility, but I really hope that isn't the case
I just think she see Genji as her ideal man and just hate the other men because they aren't similar


Well, for me she just see in Minamoto her perfect condition for the research, a beatiful (?) man with fear of women, without experience, a man who lives with her and the possibility to see the results of her research all the time, and create a Genji in him with experience with all types of womans and sex of course, and all of this just for her in the end

[Kuroageha]

I doubt there will be a tragic backstory due to the nature of the magazine and the author.


Also, Kaoruko is a feudal otaku, she probably hates men that aren't on her level of dedication and can't share nor respect her devotion to Genji Monogatari.

Add to that all men surrounding her are literally after body then it adds fuel to the the fire.
Then Terumi appears, a boy who is is a white canvas that she can paint to her liking and projects her character but she takes a liking to Terumi the longer the project goes on.

This can be seen during her talks with Aoi.

It always surprises me to see this story getting new posts. I lost interest in this story a long time ago. It's basically a rinse, wash, and repeat story of him dating a girl, having sex with the girl, the girl leaves him. The story has gotten stale a long time ago. Also considering the way each arc ends how is this experiment even a success? He loses every girl he's been with so far and seems to help them more than give himself courage with women. He's at girl 11 yet he is still the same since girl 1. The only real progression in this story is the number of the girls. Let's ve honest we're all waiting for him to bang his aunt so we can call it a day with this manga.

[Sixth]

To be honest....i really really really really doubt that she is virgin.

[zezegui222]

I already stop to reading this series a long time ago but I returning to read because of Tsukiko becoming the 11th. I just want to see the bully girl and the aunt in the end

[Sirvancelot]

I stopped reading because the story is repetitive and because it's bot a harem like it's advertised. If a guy dates multiple girls but only dates the next one after being dumped by the previous it's not a harem just a guy going out with different people. I also don't like the girls. They all either have some form of problem interacting with men or have bad relationships with me. This makes it far to easy for Minamoto to get with them since all he has to do is be nice (which is all he's done). There's no challenge or real technique in how he gets the girls. While that might be what the aunt is trying to teach him (that being himself will get him the girl) but we're at girl 11 he should've learned that lesson by now.

Also tbe convoluted way every girl leaves him makes the manga too predictable and takes readers investment in the girls away. The best girl was the one that became his gf because it felt like the story was changing for the better and that he didn't need to follow his aunt anymore because he finally found a girl that loves him. When they dropped that the manga lost the one aspect that ever made it feel interesting.

[Ravagerblade]

lol @ the people saying they've stopped reading cuz of it's rinse and repeat cycle.
It's the whole damn point of the story! If you couldn't grasp that within the first few chapters you're just hopeless. Can't read context.

[Tenzen12]

Whole point of manga is graphic sex with hot girls. People who look for good story will obviously be disappointed. There is no point laughing them, if nothing else it proves good taste.

[Fortebraccio]

I also feared that kaoruko had been raped, but judging from the manga I do not think there will be such a dramatic thing (or I hope so! Ahah) regarding the end, I hope he comes up with his aunt (as you all ahah) But do you think that could happen to such a thing? In the end is his aunt.

[Tenzen12]

Well, while Genji didn't end with his aunt he had children with her and that's classic literature for you. So yes if nothing else, sex is guaranteed imho. Well that's also only thing these two didn't done yet anyway.

[Kuroageha]

And coincidentally Terumi hasn't had sex for a while.

[henshinagogobaby]

Didn't realize there was so much hate for the "lack" of story. If it pisses you off that much, then don't read it anymore. Let the fans enjoy the story.

The beginning of the story had Terumi wanting to get over his fear of women because of what happened to him during his middle school years. More importantly than that, he stated out loud that he wants to be someone who can have sex with any woman he wants.

This story is meant to progress his development throughout the experiment. More importantly, it's also a "smut" story. People read it because they are curious about how the guy is eventually going to get over his fear, what the fourteen woman consist of and of course, the aunt (and the mystery behind her character). Sleeping with the bully is also a major plus, because it will signify his "triumph" over her, in more ways than one.

While Terumi is still as hopeless as ever talking with girls at times, he IS going through some development. He lasts "longer" in bed with girls now, he doesn't stutter as much anymore, and he can win over girls over time with his character. Terumi does demonstrate reluctance to go through with the "experiment" at times, like he did with Hanada and Yuu, proving he's not a total doormat. But readers at home know that Terumi subconsciously wants Kaoruko, due to his taste for older woman and desire for a "mother" figure. He, himself, has yet to realize that.

But now on with the summaries:

Spoiler for Chapter 265, 266 and 267 Summaries:

Chapter 265

Tsukiko changes into pajamas and lets her hair down completely; in my opinion, this makes her look even more attractive. Kaoruko is in her pajamas too and even offers to let Tsukiko touch her body if she wishes (she has no shame, lol) Tsukiko is tempted but refuses, noting to herself that she now sympathizes with Terumi's "plight" of living with someone as attractive as Kaoruko everyday. Kaoruko then goes on to question why Tsukiko is so adamant about being an erotic novelist, given her fear of men, when she can get into other professions like working a beauty salon for girls. Tsukiko then notes that she loves writing about the erotic world and that she needs to get over her fear of men to do so. This fear started with her father, who, while not abusive, was very "strict". Tsukiko then mentions Kaoruko can laugh if she wants. Kaoruko responds by hugging her close, comforting her and telling her that Tsukiko's dream isn't something to be laughed at. Tears of joy come to Tsukiko. Meanwhile Terumi is wondering what the hell the two are talking about.

Chapter 266

Kaoruko then says Tsukiko's "rehabilitation" will begin with a simple exercise: Tsukiko has to kiss a boy. She tells her to "use" Terumi. Both parties are shocked. Tsukiko notes to herself that despite knowing Terumi, and the fact he participated and won the Beauty Pageant as a "girl", she still thinks of Terumi as a boy. However, she is adamant about going through with it, as she won't know until she tries. Kaoruko then leaves the two alone in the room. Terumi and Tsukiko are blushing heavily to themselves. After all, they're friends with each other. Now they have to kiss? Next thing Terumi knows, Tsukiko grabs him by the shirt and starts to lean in her face close to his. She gets closer and closer...before she backs off, breathing heavily. Terumi, who was anticipating the kiss, starts to grow frustrated....

Chapter 267

Kaoruko is seen in her room, noting that fifteen minutes has passed, wondering how the two are doing. Meanwhile, Tsukiko is panting heavily in anticipation of the kiss that has yet to come. Terumi notes to himself that her lips were millimeters away from his. Also, why does he suddenly find Tsukiko more beautiful than usual? Is it because she's wearing sexy pajamas? Is it because her usual hairstyle has changed to hang naturally down? It is both? As Terumi is thinking all this, Tsukiko leans in again...then stops. At this point, Terumi is angrily thinking "AGAINNNNNNN??!" She tries again. She stops again. She tries again. She stops again. Terumi then starts gritting his teeth and begins thinking Tsukiko's name over and over...before he leans in and kisses her full on the mouth! Tsukiko is surprised and the two break apart. Tsukiko voices out loud her sudden shock while Terumi starts to apologize but noted that it was because she was so cute and he couldn't help himself. Tsukiko frowns at him before hitting Terumi on the top of his head with her fist...very, very lightly. She then smiles nervously, noting that while Terumi can show a bit more self-control, she was expecting an eventual kiss. Terumi wonders aloud why Tsukiko isn't angry?

Next Chapter features a color page!

[Malicre]

iv pretty much put this on hold for awhile now and don't plan on picking it up until its terumi x kaoruko time.

[Kuroageha]

I usuallt wait for 10-15 chapters to read them.

[EmpyLight]

Still curious about Kaoruko's past. Feels like it's complicated. And her relationship to Terumi's father, that's another info we don't know about.

[crossguy]

There's a lot o backstory not present in this tale.
Only the rate of translation has kept me from deciding if it's worth following.

As usual, We'll wait and see!

[zezegui222]

Just a curiosity

I was reading the last translated chapters in portuguese and, in the chapter 235 it's said that on Genji Monogatari, Tamakazura is Yuugao's daughter (and "a living image of Yuugao). Because of this the 10th girl is much similar to 7th girl.

7th girl -> Yuu Tokonatsu (sports girl) -> Yuugao on Genji Monogatari
10th girl -> Ruri Tamakazura (the girl that african dude tries to rape) -> Tamakazura on Genji Monogatari

It's been a long while but let's see if a discussion can get going again:

Spoiler for Chapter 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273, and 274 Summaries:

Chapter 268:

Tsukiko returns home in a daze and tells her younger sister, Nagiko, not to bother her. Nagiko is puzzled as to why. Alone in her room, Tsukiko crunches up in embarrassment, stating that Terumi is the first boy she's ever kissed! While trying to sort out her feelings, she goes back to writing her erotic stories. To her shock, the narrative flows smoothly from her head to her computer screen, typing out so many words per minute that she concludes that Kaoruko must be some sort of God due to "knowing" that Tsukiko would be enlightened from her brief experience. Tsukiko then wonders if she was able to write this much with a kiss, what happens if she does "more"? The thought gives her pause...Meanwhile Terumi is also dazed as well, since he's always regarded Tsukiko as a friend but to suddenly kiss her like that, and finding her attractive as well...what is going to happen going forward?

Chapter 269

The story shifts back to Asahi. Finally moving out of her mothers house and obtaining her own apartment. Hearing that Terumi is going to help with the move, Asahi starts "practicing" in front of a mirror expressions with which to greet him, even posing in a "suggestive" manner. As she's doing this, her mother opens the door...with Terumi observing her. Asahi is embarrassed as all hell. During the proper move, Terumi demonstrates his reliability by moving heavy boxes, inadvertently impressing Asahi. As they start to unpack, Terumi observes Asahi's attractive body, with Asahi eventually noticing his gaze and blushing. Chapter ends with Asahi offering Terumi drinks.

Chapter 270

Terumi and Asahi are sitting under the Kotatsu table, enjoying the warmth it provides. Eventually Asahi proposes a little "game" with Terumi. Using only their feet, one would poke the other certain spots on their body to incite a sensation in them. The point is to get them say "I give up" as they endure. Asahi begins and rubs her toes on Terumi's feet. While the guy squirms, he's stubborn. As Terumi's turn begins, he pokes Asahi's...pussy. Asahi is surprised but doesn't tell Terumi to stop. Terumi, being naive as always, wonders what he's touching that's so "soft" but continues anyway. Asahi steadily approaches orgasm...

Chapter 271

Asahi endures and endures for several panels, inadvertently enjoying the pleasure Terumi unknowingly gives her, before ultimately saying in a soft voice that she's giving up. Terumi raises his arms in victory, as Asahi collapses due to the orgasm. Terumi is worried and goes to see if she's alright, with Asahi assuring him that she is, noting that while Terumi is still a bit wimpy, he has grown more "reliable". As she says this, she reminisces her childhood with Terumi growing up: cutting apples for him, protecting Terumi from a stray dog, offering him her ice cream when he dropped his, getting worried when Terumi fell down. It's a nice moment, which causes Terumi to smile. Asahi then surprises Terumi with a question that hasn't been asked since the beginning of the manga, "Would you like to go out with me?"

Chapter 272

Terumi is shocked and wonders what he should do. After all, isn't is Tsukiko's turn in the experiment? However, thinking back to all the times he interacted with Asahi, he never once "captured" her, only giving her erotic kisses. As he's thinking all this (and admiring her body again), Asahi starts to grow impatient, wondering if she's "good" enough for Terumi, even growing a little sad that her cousin might not "want" her. Eventually, Terumi voices out loud, "If its okay with you, let's go out." Asahi is speechless...

Chapter 273

Asahi eventually finds her voice again but notes that Terumi may have only said that just so he can have her way with her body. Terumi notes that while he can't help being attracted to her body, he does genuinely love Asahi. Asahi is over the moon at this "confession" but reins her feelings in. Terumi then asks that if she doesn't feel the same for him. For an answer, Asahi slowly turns around, and as her phone rings in the background, showing the caller id to be Kaoruko, Asahi kisses Terumi on the mouth. This time it's Terumi who's speechless...

Chapter 274 (Latest chapter this week)

Asahi breaks off the kiss and goes to see her phone. Terumi is in a daze, since Asahi was the one who initiated intimacy this time around. Behind Terumi's back, Asahi is wresting with the fact that she gave Terumi a kiss of her own volition! Calling Kaoruko back, Kaoruko informs Asahi that her mother is drunk as hell. To get her to cool off, Kaoruko will take her back to her apartment so Asahi take care of Terumi in the meantime? Asahi is stunned at this news but agrees to it. Asahi's mother wonders if those two will be alright and Kaoruko assures her yes. Terumi hears the news over the phone and notes at the same time that it began to snow, with Asahi noting how circumstances are becoming to get Terumi to stay over her apartment. Later with the two wondering whether order out food or head to the convenience store, Asahi tells Terumi if they can lay out the kotatsu and sleep together? Once again, Terumi is stunned...

So this is a surprising turn of events. Instead of sleeping with Tsukiko this arc, the author takes us right back to the first girl. Will Terumi finally go through with sleeping with Asahi? Will the story go right back to Tsukiko afterwards? Kaoruko did mention to Terumi not to mind Asahi as he tries to capture Tsukiko's heart. So much for that.

The author sure loves focusing on Asahi's body during certain panels, particularly Asahi's big breasts and round butt.

**On a side note, wanted to bring up again Tsukiko's father from Chapter 265. Apparently the guy was a creep. Never laid a hand on his daughter but Tsukiko did observe him sniffing her panties when she was young (in secret mind you). No wonder she grew up fearing all men. It's enough to screw anyone up.**

Here's hoping Terumi gets some action from one of these girls!
