More (01/11/12): Yes, yes, YES!!! *jumps around happily* Gah, it’s been much too long since chapter two came out >.< *flails some more* Thank you again to all the scanlators
( Read more... )
Oh dear you kill me! *laughs* There you are saying that you didn't write as much and I found a Bible! ^^ But I love it!!! I am not up to your standards *bows before you*
First of all, thanks to the scanlators! ^^
I agree, I don't like the cover. So far, I haven't seen any cover of this couple meeting my expectations, mostly because of how the gorgeous Nanao is pictured. The blushing and the red lips here don't suit him :(
And gosh, you read my mind but luckily you express things better haha. There was something bothering me about this chapter when I was looking at the raws but I couldn't decipher what it was. And then, when the scanlation came, it added so much depth to the images that I forgot momentarily about it. But you are so right! The drawings do look "sketchier" (does this word exist?), and I think I noticed in this chapter because it's more apparent. I also agree with your comment re:excessive blushing *nods* I was quite disappointed at first but when I could understand what was going on, the story made me forget about it when reading it haha.
The inner cover, thankfully, was gorgeous!!! Smashing sexy indeed! *flails* Someone said somewhere that he looked "semeish". Anyway, I don't care, he looks HOT! ^^
Oh, I really like that the sex scene continued here! Kuon was really into it *pets him*. So, "til even your bones don't remain?". Wow! I liked the phrase! And poor Nanao couldn't get that sempai's words out of his head :(, he was really trying to convince himself that Kuon wouldn't say/act the same way. I think that maybe it is because Kuon doesn't say "I love you" with words *but he expresses his love through his actions* so Nanao was not very sure at that time of Kuon's love.
Kuon has been a revelation throughout this volume! I love how perceptive and sensitive he is, how much he cares for Nanao, and I love the fact that he says what he thinks at the moment, trying to avoid misunderstandings. And OMG, his face (HIS EYES!!!) when he says "Please think only of me"! Note: regarding the earrings, when I used to wear little ones, I didn't remove them to sleep or to take a bath. BTW, I was so into the story that I didn't realize about his earrings. They look great on him!
This is made even hotter once you consider how their relationship used to be. Just goes to show how much Kuon loves Nanao :) And Nanao’s surprised expression is rather priceless Yup!!! I thought the same! For me, it was a great moment! I must say that I was also admiring Kuon's visible enthusiasm! ^^ Nanao-sexual indeed!!!
I did really like a lot the scenes where Nanao reveals his fears and Kuon gets angry *not at Nanao really, but at his sempai* It broke my heart seeing Nanao losing control like this but at the same time, I thought it was very intense and liberating. And you said it so well, that was truly a love confession! A "long-winded self-deprecating roundabout confession", great definition!!! Love it!
I can't blame Kuon either for stopping Nanao's ansgty speech. Yes, Nanao took it the wrong way *I totally love their faces after that, especially Nanao's!* but luckily Kuon went to him fast and explained himself *relieved* I appreciated a lot his "Please show me more of your weak sides" *siiigh*
Ha ha ha, if there was a Bible for the Mujihi series, I would be one very happy follower XD And you didn't do so bad yourself in regards to the length of this whole comment *grins and bows back*
Scanlators are the best :D *blows kisses in random directions*
That is true! A little blushing (like what Kuon has though even that is a bit much) is okay, but this much along with his lips just really stand out :( The black and white chapter covers are so much better than the magazine covers.
If 'sketchier' didn't exist before, then it does now XD (Since my spell check isn't doing anything, I guess it's an actual word *shrugs*). Would it be too harsh to say that Sakuraga Mei is getting a bit lazier with this series? Maybe it's because I don't pay as much attention to them, but I haven't noticed such a drastic increase in sketchiness for the rest of the Warui series. But yeah, somewhere in the middle, I got caught up in the story and forgot about it XD
Sexy!Nanao is so very sexy ^.^ *drools all over him* Semeish? I suppose it depends on who you pair him up with, but he shall always be ukeish to me~ And as hot as Nanao is, I'm hoping that the next black and white cover will feature Kuon by himself *nods*
Ha ha ha, I'd say Kuon's into it XD Though it would've been even nicer if Nanao had been into it as well- there's been a lot of initiating on Kuon's part, but not that much on Nanao's part :( On a happier note, if we ever need any declarations of feelings that are borderline possessive, we just need to ask Kuon since those phrases really are nice even though they're slightly creepy XD Poor Nanao indeed :( I guess not saying things out loud is the cause for a lot of miscommunication. It'd be better if Kuon could just confess now, but it'd be too soon for him.
Kuon has indeed been absolutely wonderful throughout these past chapters >.< During several parts within this chapter alone, I've been getting the urge to shout, "Kuon, marry me now!" XD Of course I'd rather he be with Nanao, but it was a very strong urge XD Ah, thanks for the info about the earrings :D I guess it's just the big, clunky ones that you need to take then *is enlightened* Ha ha ha, yeah, it took me several times rereading Mujihi na Otoko to notice that he had earrings XD So hot~
Ha ha ha, visible enthusiasm. He certainly was enthusiastic about it, even if it was just him XD For some reason, I keep on thinking about Okane ga Nai (the uke is probably the most stereotypical uke I've ever seen)- the person's not really gay, but the one they love just happens to be the same gender *shrugs*
Yeah, around this point I started feeling a bit guilty, because even though Nanao's suffering, I couldn't stop thinking about how gorgeous the entire scene was. I mean, Nanao has said that he loves Kuon before, but I don't think he ever said exactly how much. And here I felt horribly guilty because Nanao's shocked face was just so beautiful T.T Ah, despite his aloof appearance, he really does know how to correctly deal with situations like this. He's such a sweetie~
Oh you put a nice image into my head! re: Kuon getting the next black and white cover! Because yeah, those covers are so much better than the "real" ones. You made me laugh with the "Kuon, marry me now!". Probably because I was picturing myself by your side screaming the same thing! No matter the creepy phrases he utters! :P
What an interesting thing you said re:the mangaka getting a bit lazy. It could be that. Or maybe getting a bit tired. It must not be easy to work all the time on a series you have spent years working on *ponders* so one thing could lead to another. Sometimes you need something different to get you going and "refuel" you. Not sure really. Story-wise, I found this a strong chapter with great character development so I trust her to end this story on a high note ^^ but like you, I noticed those things like the "sketchiness" and if I did notice them, as I generally pay attention to other things, then something has changed. Or her style is in the process of changing? *I know, I'm rambling a lot!*
Oh I agree that that scene was heart-breaking and gorgeous and intense at the same time! Their expressions, the things they said, that was really very well-done. One of my fave parts of this chapter! And now that you talked about Kuon and his possible hardships, we don't know really much about his past, I would like to know more about him.
I forgot to say that Nanao, as you commented, was also adorable when thanking for the meal *hugs him* Yes, he's not the typical-crying-all-the-time uke and besides he is Nanao. That says it all *LOL* And oh so he didn't wear his glasses! So true! I'll get a bit carried away and say that maybe it's a sign of him showing all of his true nature and feelings to Kuon. After all, the glasses are like a mask where he hides behind so to speak. I know, too much Mujihi :)
Mmmhhh, I was also thinking that maybe Kuon would go to the hot springs again and trace him from there, trusting that the guy will still be around. Not sure in what other way he could get his address or anything. Or maybe he's an internet hacker :P And I totally forgot about that cousin!!! You are very perceptive *admires!* He just appeared once and never knew from him since then. He was hot too hehe.
Kuon's expression as you said, is very tender. After rereading that part, I think that Kuon has a kind of soft but also slightly sad smile. Probably because Nanao is still using that self-deprecating tone. Anyway, it's a different face for Kuon so I'll gladly take it. I hope we can see him with a real *not full but at least a soft, happy* smile.
Oh well we'll have to wait for another long fangirling like this :) I still remember how happy I was when I came across your long post about Mujihi na Otoki ^^
Jumping for post to post is getting rather confusing, but hey, it just shows how much we love BL, yes? XD
It'd be so nice for Kuon to get the next black and white cover, especially since (if my memory's correct) he was on the cover for the fourth chapter of Mujihi na Otoko :D Ha ha ha, and now I imagine us stalking him and screaming marriage proposals at him until he glares at us and then we pass out from how hot he is while angry XD Either that or Nanao shows up to steal him away and then we still pass out from how hot they are together XD
Ah, that is very true. I mean, if we count all the other stories, then she's technically been working on this series for a very long time, and while that hopefully doesn't lead to getting tired of the series, I guess it's inevitable that there are changes in the art. Perhaps she also got different assistants and/or editors? But yes, as long as the story continues to be this good, I'll be happy :)
No, we really don't know much about Kuon's past. And, as a matter of fact, we don't know much about any of the semes' pasts :/ Well, I suppose we wouldn't since most of this series is from the uke's point of view, but it'd still be nice to get a little something.
After all, the glasses are like a mask where he hides behind so to speak. Ohhhhh, that is so deep! :D If only I could've written great stuff like this for my English classes... Yeah, I completely forgot about the symbolism behind glasses, but that sounds perfectly correct. And this is just a guess, but Nanao might've started wearing glasses right after the sempai 'dumped' him?
Ooh, Kuon as an internet hacker sounds totally hot :D Perhaps Kuon might check the eating area and the room where he and Nanao were staying, and maybe the lobby. I'm under the impression that the sempai will either hover near that room and the eating area (since that's where he saw Nanao) or leave a message for Nanao at the front desk. But then again, he does have Nanao's address... Mmm, the hot cousin :3 As for him, I think it'd be interesting if he and Kuon were to meet and talk about Nanao (Kuon would probably get angry on Nanao's behalf at some point in their conversation).
Yes! We definitely need to see a happy smile on Kuon's face that's directed at Nanao *nods furiously* But yeah, we can't be too picky, so this slightly sad smile will have to do in the meantime.
*sighs* Ah, if only March/April could come faster. And I also remember how happy I was to discover a fellow Mujihi fangirl ^.^ *hugs you*
Ha ha ha, that's true. Kirishima is the kind of guy who would willingly put on a frilly apron and be proud of it XD
I wanted to write to you because...well...you mentioned here that Kuon didn't receive his own cover since chapter 4 from Mujihi na Otoko *oh girl you impressed me with your excellent memory! I would never remember something like that!!!*. So of course I had to go check it again and ...I nearly died. How could I forget about it? Kuon looks so smoking hot with that shirt and tie, that belt and that pose. I love him and seeing that pic again, I fell more in love! ^^ Well and that thing led to another and I found myself reading Mujihi na Otoko entirely again. Can you believe that? And doing so after seeing what's happening in Mujihi na Anata, it's like appreaciating it from a different perspective.
You made me laugh with the image of us screaming for Kuon and passing out either because of him being angrily hot or because of both Nanao and Kuon being so hot together! ^^
re: sensei's art, well, though we don't know the causes for the change, it stood out more for me after rereading Mujihi na Otoko. As you cleverly pointed out, the contrasts regarding backgrounds seemed to put a more dramatic edge there. I remember that she made a great work with the dark backgrounds in one of the Shinonome-Yuki stories, where the panels to the ending were turning progressively darker until getting completely black. I thought that was absolutely awesome!
Yeah, we don't know much of Kuon's past though from time to time we fortunately can access to his thoughts. I have forgotten that he "shared" many of his thoughts in Mujihi na Otoko. He's so troubled by Nanao that he even went to Towa to ask for him. I remember we kind of talked about that back then ^^
Oh you made me blush with your comments! re: glasses But it's true that when he wants to show the serious, cool side of him, he puts on his glasses, leaves the cigarette aside, and buttons up his shirt :O That's an interesting thought about "Nanao might've started wearing glasses right after the sempai 'dumped' him". I think you are right. He was being honest with sempai, showing himself as he really was, and probably that incident hurt him so much that he started hiding his true self behind the glasses.
Yeah, I also think that Kuon would go back there and you are right, sempai could have left a message for Nanao! And yes, sempai knows where Nanao lives! Maybe Kuon remembers that and goes to the Shirahanes house too. What if he meets Nanao's cousin there? I can imagine Kuon getting fired up, and more if said cousin begins to make jokes about doing something pervy with Nanao or say that Nanao is not normal o_O
Have a great Monday!!!
PS: I can't wait to see a pic of Yokozawa and Kirishima with their matched frilly aprons haha
Hello, hello. I do hope your weather had cooled down :)
Yes, I can definitely believe that you reread Mujihi na Otoko again, even if it's just to see Kuon looking mightily hot ^.^ *drools everywhere* Not quite in the mood for Mujihi na Otoko at the moment, but it really is only a matter of time before I also get around to rereading it again XD
Yeah, I rather miss the dark backgrounds and the contrast, but oh well. And I do remember you pointing out the darkening panels in one of Shinonome/Yuki's stories, which was indeed very awesome :D
Ah, that's right! Completely forgot about Kuon and Towa's chat. I think it might be because we get to hear from Kuon's perspective pretty much from the start of Mujihi na Anata that it seems like there's more of his thoughts here than in Mujihi na Otoko.
*wibbles* With glasses, without glasses, Nanao is still so very lovable *hugs him tightly*
Oh, I'd forgotten that Kuon knows that the sempai knows where the Shirahanes live. Ha ha ha, and now I have an image of Kuon crouching behind bushes and stalking Nanao's house XD Ooh, should he meet with Nanao's cousin, I'm fairly certain that's exactly what the cousin would do (my goodness, he sure has a death wish) :(
Matching frilly aprons! Oh my, I really don't know if I want to laugh at the silliness or coo over the cuteness XD *makes weird noises*
Haha thanks! It got less hot but they say it will go up again later in the week. Well another excuse to buy more ice cream ^^
Yes, just go to see the cover of chapter 4 at least! He looks amazing!!! *drools shamelessly with you* Just curious, what kind of story are you in the mood for right now? You can reply in the other post as this one *unfortunately* will be quiet until the next release of Mujihi na Anata *sobs* WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT SO MUCH FOR MORE NANAO-KUON ACTION? *cries rivers of tears*
*hugs Nanao too* Yeah right? He's just too adorable. I admit I would like to see a bit more of his "dark" side because I am not sure of what he really meant by it. I don't think it's that bad. I guess Kuon will agree with that :)
LMAO! I love love love your mental image of Kuon crouching behind the bushes! Maybe in a chibi-like drawing? Have I told you that I can't forget that Nanao's cousin is called Seijin? That's because my dad has a Japanese name and it happens to be Seijin ^^ He used that name in the few years he lived in Japan.
LOL re: your weird noises about the matching frilly aprons!
I actually have no idea what I'm in the mood for, so I think I'll just be reading random stuff in the meantime XD Ooh, though I do believe there's a new Junjou Egotist chapter out :D I AM FEELING THE KUONxNANAO WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS ALREADY *cries with you* Yeah, I suppose we'll be saying goodbye to this post until the next chapter :(
Ooh, dark side. When someone says dark side, I keep on thinking that they have a mysterious past (usually something to do with gangs or drugs or something, though I'm nearly always wrong XD). In Nanao's case, perhaps he might be referring to his being 'not normal'. And I agree with you and Kuon :)
Uwah, we don't get many chibi drawings of Kuon, so that would be even better! Oh wow, that is such a coincidence about your dad's name :D I don't really know anyone who has a Japanese name very well, so that might be why I have such a hard time remember characters' names XD
There you are saying that you didn't write as much and I found a Bible! ^^ But I love it!!!
I am not up to your standards *bows before you*
First of all, thanks to the scanlators! ^^

I can imagine Kuon getting fired up, and more if said cousin begins to make jokes about doing something pervy with Nanao or say that Nanao is not normal o_O
Have a great Monday!!!
PS: I can't wait to see a pic of Yokozawa and Kirishima with their matched frilly aprons haha

Yes, I can definitely believe that you reread Mujihi na Otoko again, even if it's just to see Kuon looking mightily hot ^.^ *drools everywhere* Not quite in the mood for Mujihi na Otoko at the moment, but it really is only a matter of time before I also get around to rereading it again XD
Yeah, I rather miss the dark backgrounds and the contrast, but oh well. And I do remember you pointing out the darkening panels in one of Shinonome/Yuki's stories, which was indeed very awesome :D
Ah, that's right! Completely forgot about Kuon and Towa's chat. I think it might be because we get to hear from Kuon's perspective pretty much from the start of Mujihi na Anata that it seems like there's more of his thoughts here than in Mujihi na Otoko.
*wibbles* With glasses, without glasses, Nanao is still so very lovable *hugs him tightly*
Oh, I'd forgotten that Kuon knows that the sempai knows where the Shirahanes live. Ha ha ha, and now I have an image of Kuon crouching behind bushes and stalking Nanao's house XD Ooh, should he meet with Nanao's cousin, I'm fairly certain that's exactly what the cousin would do (my goodness, he sure has a death wish) :(
Matching frilly aprons! Oh my, I really don't know if I want to laugh at the silliness or coo over the cuteness XD *makes weird noises*
May your day be wonderful ^.^

Yes, just go to see the cover of chapter 4 at least! He looks amazing!!! *drools shamelessly with you*
Just curious, what kind of story are you in the mood for right now? You can reply in the other post as this one *unfortunately* will be quiet until the next release of Mujihi na Anata *sobs* WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT SO MUCH FOR MORE NANAO-KUON ACTION? *cries rivers of tears*
*hugs Nanao too*
Yeah right? He's just too adorable. I admit I would like to see a bit more of his "dark" side because I am not sure of what he really meant by it. I don't think it's that bad. I guess Kuon will agree with that :)
LMAO! I love love love your mental image of Kuon crouching behind the bushes! Maybe in a chibi-like drawing?
Have I told you that I can't forget that Nanao's cousin is called Seijin? That's because my dad has a Japanese name and it happens to be Seijin ^^
He used that name in the few years he lived in Japan.
LOL re: your weird noises about the matching frilly aprons!
Be happy and healthy! :D

I actually have no idea what I'm in the mood for, so I think I'll just be reading random stuff in the meantime XD Ooh, though I do believe there's a new Junjou Egotist chapter out :D I AM FEELING THE KUONxNANAO WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS ALREADY *cries with you* Yeah, I suppose we'll be saying goodbye to this post until the next chapter :(
Ooh, dark side. When someone says dark side, I keep on thinking that they have a mysterious past (usually something to do with gangs or drugs or something, though I'm nearly always wrong XD). In Nanao's case, perhaps he might be referring to his being 'not normal'. And I agree with you and Kuon :)
Uwah, we don't get many chibi drawings of Kuon, so that would be even better! Oh wow, that is such a coincidence about your dad's name :D I don't really know anyone who has a Japanese name very well, so that might be why I have such a hard time remember characters' names XD
You too, and have a great weekend! ^.^
