I was trying to give Araki the benefit of the doubt, but at this point I really dislike him. All he does is interfer and stick his nose where it doesn’t belong while being utterly annoying. Just stay away! At this point Blonde-Stalker-kun is too good for him, despite being the rival dude who can’t take no for an answer, and Serious-Chief-Dude is way out of Araki’s league. To be honest I’d rather those two end up together. Please Araki, just stop. Go away. Stop trying to break people up. No one likes a home wrecker. Please...just gooooo.
Gosh, that hit me hard. There was quite a few characters who I hated at first, but then they changed and grew as people, overcoming their own prejudice and such. This manga made me cry so much. Whenever there's a story that shows a long period of time passing by and people growing old, the waterworks start and just won't stop.....
I know that this is sort of getting off track, but the latest chapter reminded too much of something that happened to my friend and his ex girlfriend. Basically, they had been friends and she sort of emotional blackmailed him? He really cared about her, and it was clear that she was special to him, just not in that way. She was one of his closest friends, and she like backed him into a corner. He was a bit of a pushover then and ended up agreeing so they dated for a bit (they broke up in the end tho, ha). Back then too, it made me uncomfortable. I mean that isn’t love, it’s selfishness. Maybe I’m likening this too much to that situation then, but whatever. It’s yaoi after all. Ok, rant done.
