... i thought only yamaoki (shinshi to norainu) will appear in this manga but there's kandori (akira) and takamura of critical lovers too. Wonder who's gonna showy up next.

...i was kinda hoping i can get an ending for tsubaki and despite knowing this was tagged as ongoing, i went ahead and read it... i hope somebody completes this manga... it's just heartbreaking to end it here... esp since the drama cd doesn't even give me a good ending for tsubaki either... and after reading his back story, i wish he could find somebody to heal/save him...

    ...thanks. I was hoping for the eng version since i get frustrated with my poor jap reading/understanding. I tried looking for it in Renta and other eng manga sites but i can't find a complete one. I read that it's licensed but I can't find the eng book anywhere.

    yea, perhaps it's a little old already so it's hard to find.
    I've always prefer listening than reading but I'm getting used to it now. There are just too many good manga/ novels that will never get translated ;____;

    Yes, exactly. I read tons on manga here but there are amazing novels and other manga out there that are left untranslated. thankfully, they're adapted to drama cd. I'm not really that confident with my jap but I understand it better when i listen to them than when i read them.

    And against my better judgement, i went ahead and skimmed through dousei ai (raw) and it left a bitter hole. You just don't see this kind of bl with this much drama and emotion in the most recent stuff i come across anymore. I still hope for a brighter future for tsubaki though.

    I know that feel ;___; BLs in the 90s were really different. Idk but they were more realistic, and that's why it hurts much more.
    The ending could be considered as a happy ending for all the characters, esp Mahorin; though I dont think sooooo. There are still so much left unresolved...but I guess relationship irl is like that, problems could never be resolved completely.
    I still prefer drama cd over manga! Sometimes I find it's easier to listen to a drama cd than reading long dialogues in English~~

    ...that ending though just, i don't know, make me want more but i'm afraid of more hurt. But judging from sensei's other works, i kinda figured it's gonna hurt. Tsubaki x kaoru ending was a bit of bittersweet. I'm glad he sorted stuff in his hometown and i guess i kinda agree with his logic with his thinking about his relationship with kaoru, but i still hope a birght future for them. Koutarou's ending is abit open ended too, and with mahorin's, i don't know.

    Sry for a very late reply. I just re-read the whole series again.
    Koutaru and Chisato's ending gave me so much pain. Like they left every problems as they were...I guess those issues were something that couldn't be solved. I wish they could sit back, be honest and talk over things though. So much feels every time re-reading this series

    ...ikr, There's so much to work on with koutarou's ending... i'm afraid to re-read it even if they complete the scanlations... but if i'm in the mood for too much drama, i'll give it another try... just gotta ready a fluffy romcom (bl, of course, ;)) afterwards...

    I'm also in need of fluffy romantic stuffs too! Have been reading too many deep and dark series lately!

...this is so darn annoying and confusing but it's manga like this that makes me want to comment on it and look back on it to give it a bit of sense, at least...

...so here's how i see it... the manga itself was all bits and pieces of izumi and kazushi's life, albeit not in the usual straight forward way of storytelling...think suzumiya haruhi (or kara no kyoukai) yaoi manga style...

...here's the chronological way of reading it, or at least how i would look at it...

*chapter 9 - meeting of kazushi and izumi... from here you can get a glimpse of izumi's "carefree" way of living

*chapter 3 - izumi meets kazushi again, confirming his feelings for him and this is the start of izumi chasing after kazushi (even moving in next door to him - see chapter 1)

*chapter 1 - izumi and kazushi gets together

*chapter 2 - kazushi witness izumi and yashiro but misunderstands the relationship between them...

*chapter 5 - an attempt at being fluffy side of izumi and kazushi. based on izumi's hair and clothes, this would be before he disappeared

*chapter 4 - izumi and kazushi's first (?) fight. this is the part when kazushi is made aware of izumi's life when it comes to his frivolous relationships. but this is also the part when kazushi realizes even though izumi doesn't act it, he actually thinks of kazushi

*chapter 6-7 - this is the turning point of their relationship. based on the sketches of the artist, i guess it's safe to say that they've known each other since izumi was younger. the artist and izumi probably got into an accident, hence the scar. i can only assume, but this where you can make a guess at a dark past of izumi. this could be which made him the way he is when it comes with relationships and being unable to get serious. it's just unfortunate that the mangaka didn't expand on this but it gives us (readers) a freedom to think of different scenarios

chapter 8 - izumi and kazushi starts living together but izumi works at a different location. yashiro sees for the first time how they are together

*chapter 10 - yashiro visits their house. here you can see how izumi is still in doubt of his relationship with kazushi. but he still wants them to stay together

...okay now that i've got that out of the way, gotta read other manga...
