ok so, im really into this but dunno if it's true or not so SPOILER ALERT I GUESS?, I read that they go their seperate ways ;-; is that true? if so, I'll drop it just let me know pleaseeee BUT ONLY ANSWER MY QUESTION, DONT SPOIL ANYTHING ELSE
Unfortunately, the human brain processes text faster than the decision to read said text. On the desktop site, both the OP and your reply appear in their entirety and threaten to blindside any reader who happens to see them. To the fact that you were simply responding to Scheibel's question, there is no reason why you could not have replied by PM or packaged the spoiler more effectively (i.e., hit return 5 times).
These spoilers (and maybe spoilers) are really irritating, and that's coming from someone who's read the original books. I'm also the translator and have no incentive to keep working on this project if y'all know what happens anyway.
tl;dr Please try to keep spoilers a) between PMs or b) properly hidden below 5 returns. Thank you!
I respect that readers feel differently about spoilers. To be clear, I'm not even asking that people don't post spoilers. You can post whatever you'd like, but it really would be nice if you gave some consideration to readers who'd rather not find out about things that happen later before they get there by properly hiding spoilers. I agree that this isn't worth fighting over, but the unhidden spoilers keep popping up, and we keep having to address this debate. I'd like nothing more than to move on and keep translating Deadlock :)
I LOVE YOU!
THIS MANGA IS LOVE. can't wait for the new update also ASAMI IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST SEMES EVER MADE IN YAOI HISTORY
I think there are two true love stories: the one between Asami and Akihito and that between Yoh and Feilong
JFC, can you people let ONE thread go without shoe-horning your desperate agenda into it? I swear, it doesn't matter what anyone posts, you people would try to make it about that overrated drama queen.
OP: What do you think happened to the cop that betrayed Akihito?
You lot: He works for FeiFei now! He saw FeiFei and fell in love! Everyone loves FeiFei!
OP: What do you think will happen when Asami finds out Aki gave Sakazaki a bj?
You lot: Fei gives the best blow jobs! Asami will just wish it was Fei giving him a blow job!
OP: Remember when Akihito broke that vase--
You lot: He was thinkingi about Fei!
OP: Do you think Kuroda might be Asami's brother?
You lot: Fei is his brother! And his lover! He is everything to everyone!
OP: Aki is so cu--
You lot: Aki is Fei! Fei is everyone! There is no one else in this manga except Fei!
Honestly, give it a rest. It's getting dead boring.
What's up? Yours is sarcasm unnecessary and out of place. I did not say the two couples have the same importance. One is main and one secondary. But love is in both (Finder + FNR) and I would like to remind you that Yoh is the only one who has said "I love you" to someone.
You look nervous and stressed .... I did not know Feilong was so important to you!
I have a better one: Who do you think is Asami's daddy?
a) An important politician with his hands in the mafia business
b) Who cares? I just want my AxA porn
c) FeiFei
d) James Bond
What do you think we'll choose? Are you sure of your answer? Just press the button. You can win a traveling ticket to Tokyo with us.
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
Stop trying to make YohxFei happen it's not gonna happen.
Everyone and their mother knows that Fei will end up with Mikhail. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
We were all waiting for you! How are you? Your comments are making Fei fans very "nice" to the whole forum. They all love us.
Well.. you know what, never say never ;)
What if Fei end up with Mikhail. (⊙…⊙ )
Over-reacting much? I've never seen such replies XD c'mon~ underaged kids are not supposed to cuss. Drink your milk and go to sleep.. I"ll pray that you don't get wet dreams from reading too many yaois XD
Nothing, if Fei is happy is fine. Miki is not bad, but at present it is too mysterious, his true goals and feelings are unknown
I don't know he seems kinda sketchy to me. (⊙…⊙ )
Honestly, I'm not the biggest Fei fan, but I can see the appeal. Yes, he's easy to like. Do I like him? Not that much (Thanks a lot Sasuke ( ̄∇ ̄")). But he's been away for almost 5 years and his fans were desperate for him to show up for so long. Don't be such a buzzkill and let his fans have their fun, most of them will go away after his arc ends anyways. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
I hope his arch does not end ... but anyway, thank you, dragon, for the "solidarity"
I think we'll stay *much to this @bloodyhell's horror* ^^ But really, thank you for being so understanding..
I don't understand how can someone 'hate' a fictional character and it's fans.( ̄∇ ̄")
Life's too short to hate every little thing. It's ok to hate Joffrey though, he's an exception.
And this Joffrey is..? Sorry, not quite following..
You don't know Joffrey Baratheon? (⊙…⊙ ) He's the most hated character ever existed.
Here are some reactions to his 'untimely' demise. Spoiler Alert!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2bH19KTBZk
Akihito's doing just fine, thanks. He got the grand prize, after all. That's what all the Fei fans are pissed about anyway. Fei will always and forever be stuck with the consolation prize.
Akihito matters only because of Asami; Feilong shines despite Asami. Akihito is the moon; Feilong is a sun.
Feilong does not need prizes. Feilong is the prize.
Asami has a novel, Feilong has a novel. We look forward to the Akihito's novel. Googbye(≧ ∀ ≦)
VF is the novel of Asami Akihito's couple and it is not true that the point of view is internal to akhito; The point of view is external and the narrator is external because he knows the past, the thoughts and intentions of all the characters. HL is the point of view of Fei. But in the end, however, the external narrator takes over: Feilong can not remember if he fainted after being hit.
Ci sono vari punti di vista: quello di kihito, quello di Fei, quello di Yoh, quello di Mikhail. Il narratore è sempre esterno
Well, he's the protagonist of this manga so he has that going on. I'm sorry if this offends someone but I'm saying this as a fan who feels 'natural' towards Fei, I think some Aki fans are quick to gang up on you because some of you guys are so quick to bash Aki. Ok, one Aki fan is annoyed at the amount of Fei talk going on whatever, let them be there is no need to hate on another character because of this. After all there are no manuals which says, you have to hate Aki if you're a Fei fan or vice versa, right? (●'◡'●)
Akihito is a good guy with lots of qualities. But it is a stereotype of uke; Its being recalcitrant does not make it special but only the stereotype of the sparkling uke. Asami and Aki are a beautiful couple. But, from the point of view, Feilong is number one. Not because it is the most important, it is a secondary character, of course, but is the most interesting one. I do not say it but Satoko Ai, a popular novelist in Japan and author of FNR. They are his textual words.
Surely the most frequent pov is Akihito's, but that's normal: yaoi the real protagonists are the ukes not the "seed". This is my opinion that does not want to be offensive towards Aki: I like it, it's cute, but it takes on importance with Asami's uke, not like Takaba Akihito.
I only intervened when I saw denigrating Feilong and I showed my point of view as a fan and as a reader of a work, assessing the narrative potential of the characters. I understand that I will be attacked by many fans of Aki, but despite my comments, but Akito really likes it: I just do not find it intriguing.
Even among Aki's fans there are consistent differences: there are those who like Aki as Asami's sexual toy/pet/boyfriend/whore of the week/true love, they don't love his character for what he is but only as Asami's extension. And there are those who truly appreciate Aki's character. I think our envious anon belongs to the first group.
We have to remember the rules of the fight club.^^'
Here, for example I do not see Aki as a sexual toy; Only in the first chapter it is; She is sweet, sympathetic, courageous enough, honest with friends and able to look beyond appearances. From an "ethical" point of view, I really like it, but I repeat does not have an autonomous erotic charge;
By the way, you can write to me in Italian, my grammar needs practice but I can understand it very well. (=・ω・=)
Sure, that anon was rude what's wrong with having a favorite character anyways. I advise you to ignore them, way you all rely is what they want. So, if you ignore this troll, they will get angry because that means you don't care about their opinion.ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Girls but who is Anon? I hear it often
(● '◡' ●)ノ
Yeah, of course what was our most important rule?
You are not allowed to criticize anyone unless they are Sudou. (≧∀≦)
I ignore first kind of fans now, ignoring bothers them more. Envious types are like vampires they feed on attention.(▰˘◡˘▰)
All girls school made me wise as well.(≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)
I have developed a strong sense of protection for Fei, I do not know how to do it; If someone attacks it hard
Anon = Anonimo; ╮ (¯ ▽ ¯) ╭
I just can't take him seriously, he reminds me of chihuahua dogs. (≧∀≦)
Girls have to confess a tremendous blame: Sodou punishes me. NO kill me
Not punishment, pity
Same here. I'm done with the nice facade when someone steps over the line.
It only seems like he's the topic of conversation most of the time because he gets unfairly attacked so much. The haters have themselves to blame.
Who are you? Are you smoothie? Your nickname is a bit strange ...
Specifically Chihuahuas. (≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)
Hahah. Never liked GoT. Sorry :)
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ great one, LF
It's pretty much the opposite, my dear dragonlady. Like you see above, the hate comments are directed at Fei first.. then naturally Fei fans will defend him. Only then Aki bashing happens. ( ̄∇ ̄")
I would like to make a clarification. When I judge VF characters I completely disregard the context in which they operate. It is a world filled with crimes and hateful actions that I hate; Is a dystopian world that I see only as a narrative frame created by Sensei and that I can not change. A world I hate. My comments on Feilong, Asami Akhito etc ... relate only and exclusively to the erotic and psychological dynamics that involve them. Without this abstraction it is impossible for me to evaluate VF because all the characters are negative: Feilong is no exception, indeed.
I focus only on some dynamics and some aspects that concern the various characters and which, for me, in an idealized manner, represent tropes: Fei's emotional insecurity and his need to feel protected, Asami's initial coldness and His promiscuous discovery of being able to experience feelings, Akihito's moral doubts, Yoh's moral doubts divided between love and sense of duty, etc. Only these aspects are considered. My preference for Fei comes from the fact that his emotional disorientation seen in HL impressed me. Otherwise, if I should judge not only these aspects but VF characters in the global sense I have no difficulty saying that nobody, nobody shines, no one is the sun, no one is a prize. Only Tao, Takato and Kou are "normal" characters !!!!
Yeah, I'm fan of the book series. Tv show? Not so much.
My dear have heard the saying; everyone is hero of their own story? Appearances might be deceiving, and you have to look into someones hidden depths to know who they really are.
About Fei, he's really easy to love as you say, at this point we only know his backstory and I can definitely see the appeal, even though I feel just natural towards him (Thank you again Sasuke, you ruined this type of characters for me ( ̄∇ ̄"))
Who knows, your super vanilla next door neighbor or Takato in this case, may be a super popular S&M master behind the scenes. (≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)
Oh you too? A lot of my friends are hooked too ^^ It seems interesting, probably that's why I don't want to start reading it.. Manga addiction alone has become so bad for me recently :) can't put them off and started procrastinating :(
I'm just anon 'GreenLeaf' forgetting to change name ^^;
You should get an account too, it's really easier to manage that way. :)
Yes, I recommend you the books if you have time they are way better than books.
I have the same problem with you because of that I bought audiobook version, I listen it on the road and before sleep. I don't recommend you to listen it before sleep though, recently I started to have really weird dreams.(≧∀≦)(≧∀≦)
Ahaha.. thanks for the suggestion. Once the to-watch-list clears off, I might start on it (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ(≧∀≦) *sleep-deprived, all of us XD*
I wanted to create an account too. Will they spam your email or sth? I just hate getting junk mails on the email. If it's not, then it's cool ^__^
LJ used to send emails for even minor notifications.. so yeah.
Thanks both ladies for confirming! Gonna get myself one tomorrow.
This is a complete load of horse shit. Either that or you haven't been around this board for very long. Aki bashing is the official sport here and has a long history. Aki has way more targets on his back than Fei will ever have.
The second is correct. I haven't been around very long, yet I kinda dreaded this place already. If not because of some nice people around, I'd be gone. So yeah, I haven't seen Aki being targeted that much, ever since I'm here. But if it happened in the past, Idk.. it's damn childish both ways.
And I'm assuming you're the Anon who has always hated Fei with passion (not that he really cares, I believe) :*
My opinion above was based on what I observed. That as Fei's names were mentioned, some people's just gone apeshit over it.
Yeah, I have the idea that is always the same person who throw their unwanted opinions because that person wants to get rid of any Fei fans here because we create threads about him (and not about the magnificient Asami). Just not pay attention to that 'salty' person (salty for real). So your name now is flying dragon?
Yes this is your green friend ^^ even I feel my prev nick was lame XD
Btw, flying dragon is like, direct translation of FeiLong ^___^ Anyways.. yes I think those people are just the minority, and most ppl here are generally warm and welcoming. ^_^
Personally, I'll try to tone down future squealing over Fei ^^ was just excited that he finally back after so long (It's only been months for me, as I'm new to VF yet it felt so long. So salute to y'all who waited for years). After a while, the excitement should be reduced ^^ hopefully (or, hopefully not ^^) and things will be back to normal.
I found out an Asami look-alike. Maybe he'll look like this when he's 50 or something XD
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/koi_wo_suru_dna/an/koi-wo-suru-dna--chapter-2.html/4/
How about a real life Asami? http://www.mangago.me/home/photo/1586882/
He's gorgeous~ But still doesn't do justice to Asami.
Heck it's difficult to look for VF guys' counterparts x__x
Why do this guy always come to my mind as real-life Asami ^^
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCof-vuam8s (Daniel Henney, Korean-American actor)
On the other hand, Fei in real life would be Miura Haruma. He is a beautiful actor but also a filiform. She does not have long hair, but there are theater scenes where he has them. For me Feilong is so
Yes!!!! Gackt is Feilooooooooooooooong!!!!!!!!!
me too
Does Kan chan's story continue?
Yeah he has his own story as well: http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/hadakeru_kaibutsu/
I totally forgot that the beginning of the shuuna X hayashida couple is in this manga as well ( ̄∇ ̄") http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/renai_rubi_no_tadashii_furikata/ Chapters 4-6 i think (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Kyon deciding leaving? pretty please, make it happen I wonder about Lucaon's reaction
