Are you one of those Harada readers?? (not being rude tho)
No. Actually I'm not a big fan of those kind of stories. Harada makes great stories just not my cup of tea. Would you mind telling why did you ask?
Well... you know Harada's stories right I just thought you're a fan.. so yeah
Yoshino did seem a little too easy going to me too, until I thought about the fact that Yazaki spent 3 years in a Japanese prison for being a jealous asshat. Most jealous asshats don't do prison time for it. So, I kinda felt like he had already paid his dues for that one. I love my husband dearly and if he shot me accidentally, there is no way I could hold it against him. Hell, even if he shot me on purpose, I don't think I'd hold a permanent grudge over it. I might guilt trip him from time to time though. LOL Add to that, if my husband went to prison for accidentally shooting me, I'd have a hard time not feeling guilty as hell over it. I guess, for that reason, I can kind of understand how Yoshino feels.
What really bothered me about the situation with Yoshino and Yazaki was that we never saw how Yoshino got from being "fed up" with both Otowa and Yazaki to wanting to stay by Yazaki's side and "cling like a leech". We are never shown that thought process. It just goes from zero to "cling like a leech" in a handful of frames that don't even focus on Yoshino. So, it felt like he was either putting up a front for Otowa and he planned on going to Yazaki behind Otowa's back, or his whole "fed up" act was just a lie in general. Either way, it was weakly written.
It wasn't so much as the getting shot I wanted Yazaki to pay but him being a drama queen with the whole "carrying the phone next to his heart so the last thing he hears is his lover's voice". Like really. That's a whole new level of drama.
Regarding Yoshino staying away from Yazaki and then "clinging like a leech". I thought of it kind of like a diet. Once you break you have this "go big or go home" mentality. Like if I'm gonna break my diet why waste it in a piece of chocolate when there are one of those really decadent chocolate cake out there. So to me, once he broke his self(?) restriction of not seeing Yazaki, he thought what the hell, since I'm here... And decided to "cling like leech"
I couldn't quite like Yazaki. I wanted Yoshiko to make him suffer a little bit more
