Hmmm, so the head of the Sohma family is someone named Akito. Haven't met him yet but he doesn't sound too awesome as he seems a little trigger happy about erasing people's memories and he told child!Yuki that if normal people found about the Sohma family curse (all the boys turn into animals when hugged by members of the opposite sex) they would

Yes, Kyo and Sano ARE rather alike? Brash temperamental hothead with inner sweetie and brutal and messed up but still noble and obsessively devoted to their woman are my types...though I'm always up for just a plain welldone good old badboy(I wonder if this is why I don't date

[dangermousie]

Thanks for the explanation. Akito sounds awful. And I think I have fallen for Kyo.

[meganbmoore]

In time, all fall for Kyo, even the most hesitant.

Akito is a wretch...one of those who thinks everyone has to suffer because he does and has the power to make sure they do. Since Tohru makes his various cousins feel happy and like they're actually, you know, worthy of being alive, she's a threat to him. So he does something(I can tell you the only slightly spoilery basics) that puts him eternally on my hate meter to Tohru(not that I would have liked him anyway)

I got the sense that neither Kyo nor Yuki really felt 'worthy' of anything before (though Shigure seems well balanced but then he is much older). Ohhhh. Poor woobies.

Unlike Kyo and Yuki, Shigure was able to bond pretty closely with 2 other zodiac members, Hatori and Ayame, though he(and they) still have some pretty deep seated issues, they've just found outlets.

with one exception, FB is just a mass of poor little woobies.

And that is how I like 'em :)

Yes, even the irritating ones(Momiji and Ritsu) need to be bundled up and carted off somewhere safe and happy.

except the on who needs to get a booboo then get tossed into shark infested waters.

I have just discovered Akito. And Akito hate.

[meganbmoore]

which makes me very, very happy. in this world ,there can never be enough Akito hate. Just as there can never be enough Kyo love.

[dangermousie]

I mean, seriously. I thought I loathed Nakago. Or Kagami. Or half a dozen other manga characters. Just you wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet.

[meganbmoore]

i'm...oddly fond of nakago. *hangs head* but at least Watase backs me there. Kagami should have just up and quit whining and met a nice girl. Heck, he had a nice girl and obsessed over his cousin instead.

I live in anticipation of anti-Akito posts.

[dangermousie]

See, I loathe Nakago. It's basically 'fine, you had trauma. Stop trying to recreate that trauma in others.' The way he went after Tamahome, trying to turn him into Nakago mark 2, with the murder of his family, with the rape of someone the boy loved (though he gets points for not actually raping Miaka but just making her think he did), trying to break him in every way possible. Not to mention the way he was hurting and manipulating everyone else as well, and the creepy s/m fetish with getting off on really hurting the other person (the bit where he licks Tamahome's cheek telling him that in such a condition (broken bones etc etc) he excites him? Yikes). Tamahome is able to feel pity for him at the very end, finding out what his life has been, but he is a better person than me. I still find it no excuse. An explanation perhaps, but no excuse.

Kagami? I wish his mom hit him harder, is all I am going to say.

[meganbmoore]

yeah...all that that you listed off is why the head hanging. sometimes you just like characters you shouldn't and can't explain it...

i think your wishes for kagami are too mild.
