I would change the way Asami 'punished' Akihito in that fateful first chapter. Less drugs, bondage, catheter and film roll humiliation please Asami - you naughty boy! I am well aware that psychologically Akihito (or anyone for that matter!) would not be able to really bounce back from that so easily - and it's always kind of bugged me. In a way it's a shame that this encounter had been the base for which everything else has developed. That's it!
I liked Rommy's too,
Less "rapey"!! This made me laugh!!
Asami quits smoking (and Akihito torments him while he is going through withdrawal) and both verbalizing their feelings more.
This is very true, I did have quite the 'face palm' moment when Akihito got outwitted by the old roofie in the drink trick! Who takes a drink from some mystery blonde in a shady club that belongs to your arch nemesis?! Though I think it would be weird to see a wizened, mature Akihito. Nice! - But weird (≧∀≦)
She wasn't a mystery blonde. Akihito knew exactly who she was and in his mind, she was a victim. Why on earth would he connect someone he considered a victim with a devious crime lord with a history of raping him? Armchair quarterbacking.
A vamp. culture under the guise of yakuza mob war. Source of the dispute what is a true Vamp. (the cont. drinking of human blood) A split has ocurred in the comm. of vamp. and some are calling for and outright ban on the practice(Takaba A) others don't want it stopped at all, wanting all bans lifted, even suggesting those that call for banning it are not real vamps. Half bloods(Takaba) are a blight. jpn. human pop. has fallen Takaba is not willing to let the vamps have their way Is war on the way?
Okay - challenge: If you could change one thing about a character (anything goes) who would you pick and what would you change?
