Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Rin is 20, Aoki will be...in his mid-late 30's? On second thought, that is actually not that taboo in (at least) American society...

Plus there is always the possibility that Aoki can move up to middle school teaching, highschool, college...

What would you do? >:-P

edit: inb4 pedo for rationalizing this

Didn't you guys know that a girl in Japan can marry as soon as she reaches sixteen? (Though in Rin's case, she might have to wait til she's twenty because Reji will never agree to Aoki being the groom)
It doesn't matter how old the man is....as long as he's over eighteen.

I researched Japan's marriage laws

If only. Recently there hasn't been any development between Reiji and Usa at all.

Chapter 74:
That feeling you can't lay a hand on the one you love.
HNNNNNNNNGGGG.
And Aoki almost got a "Would you please take a seat over there?" moment.

lol'd at daisuke asking the cop to protect him from reiji

HayashiTakara · 2011-07-23, 11:16

Great chapter, I like how Reiji is a bit of a tsundere towards Aoki now

Anyway, is it just me or is Rin getting sexier and sexier?

it's not that she knew, what the chapter is showing is that when Reiji put his finger on her lip it reminded her of the feeling and made her realize that it was what Aoki did. So chances are she's going to confront him about it next chapter.

its kinda funny how she cares so much about a kiss when:

shes already kissed him
shes already touched his d*ck
shes already kissed his d*ck

he has seen her naked
etc
etc
etc
.. lol

girls.. /rolleyes

Key part is she did this, she did that. But what has he done. Its hard to pour your heart out to the one you love and not get any love back... for years. We as readers know that aoki loves rin, whether as a father or as a lover, he loves her (she tugged on his heart strings this chapter)... does she know that tho?. He has never once verbalised to rin his true emotions for rin. At least not in a way that rin could say, oh okay he loves me, even if its half as much as I love him.

The reasons for this could be many... he is a filthy virgin that could not read the mood in a room to save his life (or he would be dating boin-sensei now). But instead of looking at rin as a little aggressive nymphet, lets take age out of the picture and she is a character that is experiencing unrequited love and is fine with that as long as her interest knows her feelings. And at the end of the chapter it was shown that she feels that aoki would never return her love... in fact she outright stated it.

So anyways I wrote all that to say, I think its not really caring about a kiss , but rather her feeling upset that no matter what method she uses, she can not get him to return her love.

Love cannot always make the leap from heart to heart by itself, sometimes you must speak it aloud and give it wings

Some people get discouraged when their love is unrequited. As far as Rin knows, she thinks she has failed to get close to Aoki.

~~User68604~~ · 2011-07-24, 07:37

from how i see it, daisuke has done as much as he can (already) to demonstrate that rin isnt just some "student" like kagami/usa/etc- hes gone above and beyond for her

theres not much more he can do, (morality/criminal reasons involved) - at least until rin's 16 :P

otoh, i see ur point (and rin's pov). as perspective as she is, shes in love, so she obviously wants her feelings reciprocated - unfortunately she just has to be patient..........

Chiibi · 2011-07-24, 15:40

This chapter was fantastic!! Couple of laugh-out-loud funny moments.

Spoiler:

I have to use a phrase I really haven't used much since my teen "Japanophile" years:

かわーいいいいいいい！！

And LOL at Rin taking that photo.

He could stand to do a bit less, for that matter. Almost getting vanned was quite careless of him.

Poor Houin will only find happiness at probability of a quadrillion to one.

I think he's handling it perfectly. Even if one would ignore that he's a teacher. He's still an adult and acting the best as he can as an adult...

We see how Rin acts even without him showing her that he has any sort of feelings toward her. Can you imagine how she would act if he did? She'd be all over him like flies on shit...

Also I second the Houin being made into a comedy relief character. Those awesome boobies are all for naught...

I think it's sorta sad that the rin-daisuke ending is almost the only way things can go at this point. It's been inching ever closer to that of sorts and I know I had a wtf moment when daisuke seemed to say that his love for Rin was moving out of the purely parental zone. If this was a Venn diagram, it's pretty clear he's just on the edge and about to leave the safety of the overlap. I'm sure that's the ending a lot of readers want given the lolilicious nature of the manga to begin with, but I would have been far happier if Daisuke had stuck to his guns. Why is it in so many manga and anime that any parental love by an older male figure automatically has to change to something romantic? I just finished reading Usagi Drop and Honey and Clover back to back and both featured the exact same thing. It's almost like the culture seems to be saying that there can never be a pure parental love between two people unless they are biologically father and daughter. In any other form, it always seems to slide into something else and that's sort of sad IMO.

Oh well. Maybe I'll be wrong and daisuke will end up with houin and be a friend/parental support to rin for life. It's unlikely the way it's going though and even if it would make me happy, I can hear the lolicons howling their disapproval already.
