Kono S o, Mi yo! - Cupid no Itazura

this manga is such a bullcrap

I just read all of the chapters to this manga today.  I'm actually surprised I finished it, I guess short chapters.

Anyways I just want to say this manga has left me very conflicted, but in the end I see it as a masterpiece.

The Mangaka inflicts so much emotion on the reader, that you don't know what to think.

Part of me really hates Rin, but the other part respects him.

On one hand, he is giving everything for this girl who has caused him so much pain, but at the same time it shows how much he loves her, and is willing to sacrifice for her...

Except his "love" is being tainted with his lust for money, in order to make her happy and keep her grandmother living.  The purity he saved for her, taken by so many before her, all because she couldn't reciprocate her feeling for him.

Sadly, she's a complete bitch....  However, at the same time, you form a bit of respect/like for her also, because she is giving up everything for her "parent."

It's just pathetic how she couldn't confess, or how long it took for her to show feelings to Rin.  She could have told him she liked him soooo much sooner, but all the evil events had to unfold it seems.

She seems to be relying on a scumbag who she equates to her father, who she hated, so it's quite odd what's going on.  I also am curious why there hasn't been any mention of Ootoki cheating on Chizuku, yet with the current chapters, we shall see what happens....

Overall it's a very interesting manga that leaves me with a lot of emtions.

I personally really dislike the weak Rin, and feel he should give up on his "First love."  She has clearly broken his heart so much times, it's ridiculous, and he doesn't keep deserving to be treated in such a way.  Even her allowing him to grope her was pathetic.  It's like Sympathy sex when being in the friend zone (never happens).

I hope Makoto has a shot, even though she is a super bitch, I have a feeling her insecurities might go away, but we shall see.

I have a feeling this is going to end iun the typical "crash the wedding" style where Rin pronounces his love for Chizuku, Ootoki rages, and then Chizuku runs into Rin's arms.

We shall see though...

I really want to know if Makoto would still continue to love Rin if the power of the stigma were to disappear.

Makoto loved Rin from the start, the stigma just enhanced it; however, I've noticed something in regards to the actual ability.

From seeing Makoto and how she acts around him, it shows that she isn't as affected as other women, such as the one who was in love with "Fuji" who went completely batshit for Rin.

The Fuji lover already had a man, so the affects of the Stigma were so much worse, to the point she went crazy for Rin.

In Makoto's case, she was able to hold out not having sex with him, nor really changing much from the usual Makoto, because she always loved him.  She gained some sensitivity to Rin, but she isn't going crazy to get his dick inside her, like every other woman before her, include her prude ass Lesbian friend.  In the prude Lesbian's case, she had no love for RIn at all otherwise, so the Stigma HIT HER HARD as well.

So essentially.. The less you love rin, the worse the affect is. i.e., already have a boyfriend(Fuji girl), A Lesbian who uses men (Makoto's friend).

Honestly, if Rin used it on Chizuka, it might not even work.

OMG IT JUST GETS WORST WHEN I READ THE RAWS GGWP BOYS 

I don't enjoy NTR. Should I abandon this?

OMG IT JUST GETS WORST WHEN I READ THE RAWS GGWP BOYS 

man... this one's not worth finishing. Great art gone to waste.

This manga broke my heart.. ;_;

Boo-hoo, you're exploiting something to pay my parent's shop rent... wah-wah. After I tell you that your cakes aren't selling, I'm going to tell you not to earn money otherwise. Fuuuuuck oooooooooffffffff.

glad i didnt waste my time continuing, seriously why is japan so obsesses with NTR... cant they just make a fine ending..

NTR and incest are two of the major fixations that the public seem to have there ; is easier to put NTR situations in normal mangas than incest situations (even if there are plenty of mangas in which that theme appears too) hence why so many stories have some NTR elements, it is popular and it sells, this manga is a good example.

Thanks for Kirei Cake for picking up this series.

Ok, read up to date and most of the part is fucking nonsense. Why the fuck he didnt said from the begining to chizuri that he have that special power and talk to her and that fucking chizuru its a dumb girl, why cant she be a mature one... They are like kids, even kids can handle things better. I dont even have words to describe this awful characters and the development. Its fun to read until a certain point. Its only my opinion, but this its a average manga or smth below average.

I'm at ch 23 an this is getting pretty fucked up. This plot development...

Holy fuck, I'm glad I didn't didn't read this story in it's entirety.  I'd be pretty pissed if I had to wait for the chapters that had the bullshit of (3)

@Theoderich: Thank you for these spoilers. I have saved a lot of time thanks to you.

 

As for the author:

Spoiler

There is a special place in hell for you. You will burn for what you did you Chizuru. Minazuki Suu and Okamoto Lynn did not stomp on my heart as much as you did.

 

I'm going to turn off the computer for a while. There's a bottle of single malt scotch with my name on it.

Well done Kirei Cake.  Thank you.

someone translate the last chapters even if its crappy.

Trololol,after reading the RAWs till the end, the story is fuked up in many ways

1. Rins parents

Spoiler

the story about how Rin got his Stigma: He inherited it from his father. His grandmother was the first to fall victim to it (in some kind of ways) so she wanted to erase it by force when his father was still a kid, resulting it from wandering from his shoulder to his waist and from there to his arm, resulting in his mother(Rins grandmother) to want to chop his arm off. In the end she hung herself in a tree somewhere because she couldn't continue to live. Later on there is some kind of triangle relationship between Rins father, Chizurus father and Rins mother(on whom Chizurus father has a crush). I didn't read it in detail because it didn't really matter to the story. In the end, there is the traffic accident, the rest is already beknownst to the readers.

2. His childhood friend

Spoiler

after getting "infected" by the stigmas curse, she spread the rumor of Rin and herself getting married in the hospital,resulting in Chizuru giving in to the marriage. When they are both on a trip (Makoto and Rin) and amidst "you-know-what" he discovers her Stigma-sign and leaves her. Later he kind of rapes her in the bakery after Chizuru got married, removing the curse and thus removing nearly all her feelings for him (though she cries when she wishes him farewell after he already left)

3. Chizuru

Spoiler

she gets married to the doctor after that marriage-proposal-gossip in the hospital. He already made her despise him beforehand by making her watch him having sex with two other women in a hotel suite.

After the marriage she gets constantly physically abused by him to get him off (standing there with his upper body clothed and lower body stark naked), even while doing some cosplay, and himself recording it on video. He eventually fails to get her to show the face-look he was wanting to see to get him off, after she finally breaks from the trauma, showing a wayne smile only. After this she isn't able to endure sexual contact anymore and even tries to choke her grandma in the hospital (after having several illusions doing that prior to said event), luckily interrupted by the nurse on night shift. After that she runs away with Rin, but she is unable to have Sex with him due to massive trauma, leading to her running away to cliff in the morning to commit suicide. Seeing how broken she is and after being unable to talk her out of it, Rin uses his stigma and gets her to live with him. Her stigma sign is so large that it's obvious that if it's undone, she will commit suicide, so he lives with her somewhere without being able to sleep with her -> the End

I've become rather fond of this author. Hopefully now that Sakuranbo Syndrome is finished, this and Nijidama will get picked up.

I love this manga I hope new chapters start to come out
