Oh yeah I forgot, massive warning of a scene where Rin gets molested by a disgusting fat bastard principal which was gross as shit.

>>884 as it should be

>>878 >baseless rant of a blabbering idiot with little cohesive thought process and a clear proneness to whining about everything that isn't catered to his preferences and that his personal (mis)perceptions aren't shared. Wow what a shitpost, KoJ is what I call a perfect romcom manga, with interesting well-explored believable characters who all have their vices as well as good sides, who have been very well written, developed and played out in their respective subplots, yes I did find myself slightly less invested in those compared to the Rin's story, but it's all very well connects and results in a very satisfactory climax where love wins. Mimi and Rin got to fuck the guys they were head over heels for for the longest time, the guys themselves came around and wholeheartedly embraced them and found happiness, Shirai sensei lost her virginity, married and finally opened up (i thought her arc was very charming), Houin sensei got cucked and discarded as a used roastie she is, I've rarely had such a warm experience after finishing a fictional work. I don't really get what your complaints are, you just go off crying "why ain't it like i wanted it to be" and in the end not saying anything of value. >Reiji was an absolute scumbag. He was a decent young man, hard working and earnest to the bone, who got in a precarious position of being in the shoes of a single father(or rather child guardian) at 20 years old, yes he wasn't perfect for the job, he was immature, self imposing and cocky, but that what made him such a good character, and that's not like he was self unaware or anything, he's a good a guy in heart and proved himself to be in his arc. >I wonder if the author was even aware that you and your opinion exist? well forgive her for such a transgression >he is responsible the mess Rin grew up into by doing what can only be described as grooming Your problem is that your fried westernized brain has the word "grooming" in it and all its accompanying prejudices. The mess she grew up in was due to certain extenuating circumstances (don't know if you caught up on them), like Aoki summarized: Rin and Reiji are just two kids living under the safe roof, one's younger the other's older, until a certain time period they were like brother and sister. Taking baths and sleeping together, this isn't that uncharacteristic for siblings, mind you. As the time passed, naturally, the "sister" began to develop and Reiji started seeing her as a woman and had plans of putting her under the wedlock when she came of age, which is of course fucked up and the story addresses it, Reiji gets self-concious of such selfishness and reprimands himself, granted thanks to Aoki pointing it out, but teachers do have to show children the way. I get that lack of care for personal circumstances and feelings led you to the conclusion you made, but I think you'd been reading the story inattentively. And I think you're forgetting how Rin was low-key a nasty little bitch too: threatening to press charges against Aoki for alleged sexual harassment; almost knocking him off the stairs; deliberately driving off Reiji's female coworker that wanted to hit on him out of vain jealousy, when she knew he desperately needed a woman. And these dubious actions didn't take away from her being such a good girl. >He didn't deserve to end up with Mimi-chan She is de-facto the perfect mommy-wife for him, with big tits and caring personality who also looks like Rin's mom, body-wise at least. >time skip This served as an epilogue to a settled story, a conclusion to a conclusion so to say, maybe if you were educated you'd knew what that is. The finishing chapter was a traditional graduation ceremony, where everything comes together and our characters part. Emotional and heart-wrenching, skillfully crafted narrative imo. The best part is the last page, where Aoki finally, gets in grips with his feelings and returns Kokonoe's forceful kiss, which before had been only one sided. So concerning the "how didn't they talk in all those years", well they didn't because Watashiya decided so, she wanted to make a cute reunion scene, show how the heroes grew, I'm sorry it didn't click with you, there's no argument to draw from it on either side, you're only whining, as I said. >so they can attain by age of consent You could use attaining some English prowess, my dear ESL. No, it's simply a narrative technique, you could very fairly call it a cliché, but do not affix your stupid reasons like that, it was a miracle that the series got greenlit in the first place, why do you think author would be concerned with age of consent in the fictional world when she already wrote, well, *everything else*. And besides Aoki accepted Rin's love before the time skip, sex wasn't the real climax, the kiss was. > it ended the only way you'd expect it to end >it just fucking ends there. And why are you disappointed with what was expected? thought cohesion, bro work on it. It's hard to counter your "points" because not only do you not expand on them but contradict them and make them unclear af. From what little I understand of what your actual gripe with the ending is, It seems to be some ill-founded grumble of someone who's not spiritually mature, genuinely no offense here. >I have so many nitpicks Glad you call your opinion nitpicking because it's what it is, not a fair judgement by a mile. You see you can get self aware too, contrary to my expectation. >It's just fucking boring and about 40% of it focuses on the female teachers who are just mind-numbingly inane characters. I had a different experience with that, the side characters were a good addition to a very solid main plot, except for those characters that the plot meant to present in the light less than favorable (Houin and Rin's old teach). But I expressed my thoughts on this way above. >author's fetish why are you spouting some unrelated bullshit? The entire thing was conceived because of a fetish, now what? >What are your thoughts? So glad you asked, my friend.

>>878 Isn't the author a well known pedophile old rag who wanted to prey on boys in real life? Or am I mistaking her some other degenerate old rag? The manga was well known to be just fetish garbage from a frustrated old woman, nonetheless. >>1090 t. pedophile old rag.

>>1094 I'm not a pedophile

>>1094 >Isn't the author a well known pedophile old rag who wanted to prey on boys in real life? Proof? >The manga was well known to be just fetish garbage from a frustrated old woman, nonetheless. No, it's a wonderful work of passion loved by many, and doesn't glorify pedophilia, you have misconception, you are stupid

>>1095 Yes, you are. You are defending a pedophile old rag. Therefore, you are one. >>1096 >Pedophile screams that his pedophile fiction is not about pedophilia As always.

>>1100 >Combined lack of basis, arguments, common sense and logical acuity overwhelm this weak-minded ape and send it into a state of reeling panic, confusion and finally a desperate search of mental remediation, also known as "cope", manifestation of which are typical resort to fallacies and, of course, empty, laughable denial and nothing ELSE. As! Always! Delicious fruits of a swift BTFO, like in my olden /pol/ days, well how will this monkey entrain me next, I wonder, defeated brain of a primate surely could splurt out something even more funnier. Come on, I'm telling you to fucking bark.

>>1106 there's no way I'll open your shit, dumb monkey

>>1107 I tried reading this manga ages ago and it was every bit a delusional as you are

>>1173 your loss fag

I was following KnJ as it was scanned and translated monthly and it was a journey. I never expected the amount of change the characters went through. Most of the cast aside from the girls leave a terrible first impression but they grow up and deal with their flaws in a very satisfying manner. It was a fun ride. I went for the bait and stayed for the plot.

I still come back to the doujin every now and again

>>878 I just came here to tell you that you are a dumbass. Did you read it with your ass or what? Perhaps the reason you couldn't understand shit is because you read it in English. In Japanese at least KnJ is a masterpiece and one of the best manga I've ever read. Reiji for example, how can you misunderstand him that much? He never actively "groomed" Rin but expected her to grow up to fall in love with him as he tried to be the perfect guardian. The way Rin acts has nothing to do with him and he even gets surprised when he discovers that Rin isn't as pure as he thought and was looking at porn on his PC. His entire character is that he is traumatised and has stunted growth, and after years of stress he can no longer cope and experiences psychosis which gets mostly corrected by Aoki. One of the best scenes in the manga involve Reiji, when he goes the school to get his suit back but overhears Aoki talking to a parent which digs up his trauma and he tries to rush back home crying but runs into Mimi. He kisses Mimi in this scene while he's confused and upset because over the years the only way he coped with his trauma was through sexual contact with Rin's mom as she took advantage of him. After this scene Mimi goes home does make-up and dresses and goes to Rin's house. Reiji apologizes and rejects her telling her never to come here again. As Mimi goes back home crying she thinks "I would've been fine with being raped by you". KnJ handles realistic but taboo scenes like this pretty well.
