Thanks for summarizing the plot, there were some points I missed when reading. (Never realized there *was* a plot, in the first place :) )
Then, as I went on reading, I also learned that Feilong sports a very typical mafia attitude, which got me less and less impressed. Everything he does is predictable.
Exactly. Though I also cease to see any character development.

Thank you for the essay (and for the pretty pictures )))

I think Feilong was meant to represent the other stereotype of the manga/anime stories - where Asami is the Cool As A Cucumber Guy Who Never Speaks Of Love But (Sometimes) Cares, Feilong is the Ice Cold Guy With A Vulnerable Heart - thus, he is shown to be harsher than Asami in his present time actions, yet we have the Flower arc to give the readers a peek at his soft side, which is more vulnerable and emotional than Asami's has ever been.

But, yes, the length of the stories, and the way they often seem not quite connected played a part in making Feilong's character look somewhat disjointed as well.
Or maybe he's just really, really mercurial :))
