The more i read the more I don't like Kotooka.
What the hell is that small thing with legs on page 32 of chapter 12?!
man...., the love chain become bigger
this couple at the fastfood restaurant
lol
The cutoff is in April. So those who were born in April are the oldest while those who were born in March are the youngest.
Sorry, forgot how the japanese school system works again, they're 11?
And shouldn't a kid born in april be younger than kids born in the fall in the same grade?
The core problem is that the three girls were introduced as equals in their relationships. there was no one who came later or is not quite sure about their feelings - all of them are pretty certain about their love interests. At this point, just having one of them turn towards someone else (and having the refused person fall for the third one instead) would simply feel weird and inconsequential, because it would mean only one of them had "the heart" to get their feelings realized. There really seem to be only three possible outcomes:
1) an open ending without much change to the status quo
2) an ending where none of them actually get what they want
3) an upgrade to a three-way-relationship (which is not gonna happen, because it's just not that kind of manga)
Out of these, 1 seems to be the most likely. I hope that the author manages to suprise me and find a more creative resolution, but since the setting is almost unsolvable from the get-go, I don't have too much hope...
Asakura at least has plenty to do with the main story. there's no way we could have a three-way love triangle between girls and not introduce a heterosexual coupling as a possible out for one or more of the girls to further muddle the pool of right vs. wrong. That was destined to happen since chapter one. The brother just kind of comes as an extension of that helps to give Asakura extra depth and make him a likable person, seeing what he's like as a person opposed to what he is portrayed to Tsukasa as just potential partner. Frankly I don't mind the shounen ai stuff that definitely seems inbound (honestly traps are kind of my jam) but I can imagine other yuri goers will have mixed feelings about it eating into the so-far yuri story.
Whether the series goes down that road or not, I just hope the author doesn't simply toss aside the main plot because of it. The subaru x asakura thing has little to do with the actual main story. I'm afraid the author simply has no idea how to resolve the main plot, and that's why he switched over to this side story for now.
i like the way this is going
im not saying he is evil, just a villian. a villain can still have a backstory and a motive you know. its taking their reasons into the wrong direction what makes them a villain- for example, you can try to build up your relationship with a person, or try to harm other people relationships with said person. the second one, IS A VILLAIN.
Twin was thinking "I won't fall for this trap!" and I was thinking "No, Asakura's going to fall for this trap."
I wouldn't say he's a villain. He's afraid of losing the one thing in his life that makes him feel content. It's not really uncommon for siblings to feel this kind of attachment for each other, especially when they're shy and subsequently not exposed to other friends. Since she was so accepting of him, it only makes the attachment more concrete since she obviously loves him and cares about him (I mean she lets him wear her clothes!). It's not romantic in nature why he does what he does. Considering how shy Subaru seems to have been growing up, it's no wonder he got so magnificently attached to his outgoing sister who loves him. Since she's such a safe place for him, having her back away a bit and get so involved in others must be seriously scary for him.
In all likelihood, he is probably going to harm his relationship with her at some point with his possessiveness and it will be devastating to him, but I'm sure he'll be able to bring it back to an acceptable level for both of them.
Honestly, I'd actually like to see him develop feelings for Asakura, or at least become proper friends with him. He clearly needs someone else in his life aside from his sister to allow him some much needed perspective.
I can already see the "Shounen ai" tag in this...
Yeah he probably going to cross dressing and try to make him not liking Tsukasa anymore but what a brocon seriously. This series goes strange way.
Thanks to this series I am learning the appeal of poly shipping
and Asakura is finally going to meet Lil bro dressed as the girl of his dreams.
Lil bro is finally meeting Asakura!!!
With the latest chapter, she mentions potentially "letting it happen again" so this tells me that she has probably had issues in the past of a somewhat similar nature with one or more friends and it ended extremely badly for her. So this time around, she's being extra careful not to let things fall into place the way they did before. She truly is a victim of her own fear and subsequent meddling regarding their relationships, but for her it's probably preferable to whatever happened before happening again.
She is just a kid though, really. It's hard for kids to make rational decisions when it comes to emotional issues like this. I definitely do feel the most sorry for her. We don't really know what her story is yet, but all in all, I hope she's able to work through her problems with the help of her friends and even if she doesn't get the romantic ending she seeks (she denies hoping for it, but I think as time moves on she'll be more honest with her desires), I hope they're all able to maintain being friends without big scars left behind...
More than anything, if she actually trusted their friendship and saw it as more than a fleeting and volatile thing, then she might be able to tell the others that she knows, so that they can all come to terms with their feelings and support their three-way friendship together. Because we already know that the other two can accept having their feelings unrequited, and that they DO value spending time with all three of them together more than getting a chance to be alone with their crush. More importantly, Kotooka now knows this too. She's heard the other two talk about this exact point, and she even acknowledges the option of just having everything out in the open. She now has all the cards, and the only thing stopping her from playing is whether or not she chooses to believe in her friends.
We'll have to wait and see what she decides to do now that she's gotten to this point, but I've heard some second-hand spoilers about future chapters, and I'll say this much: they're not making me any more sympathetic towards Kotooka or the position she's in.
