I don't count darkness neccesaarily as "good" or "evil" because its like sunshine and rain, both are nexxessary for a plant to grow. However, darkness that impedes growth is where they both stand and in learning to grow beyond it, or even with it so as not to holdbher back as a person (like someone learning to live with any emotional or mental instability however severe or mild, ans lets face facts that there's a lot of mental instability going on here) Reiji simply doesn't have the toils or coping mechanisms to help her in any direction anymore.

Sometimes I wonder if KW will throw in a seperate love interest for Rin. Maybe someone more her age just to throw a stick in the works and test Aoki's reserve for all this. Perhaps Rin would use a new love interest to spite Aoki even. Has anyone else ever considered this angle? How better to hurt a man than to tempt him with what he no longer can have?

This gives me a cold chill. Ugh, don't want to see that but that would be the "natural" thing for Rin to do. The problem is -- can she do TOO much damage that way?

Dark Samus

O.o Damage?....that would destroy Aoki from inside!. I mean, finally he can't hide it anymore, he is in love with Kokonoe, and if Rin start dating with someone else, Aoki would be devastated, imagine him trying to apologize with Houin after what happened, and realizing that he had a chance, but he chose to play safe, even if that road was the most painfull, and now he must suffer the consequences.

It would be a painful thing to watch. I don't think however that Rin even has interest in a boy at school, he would just annoy her. It wasn't like a jealous shock it was more like she was very hurt so i don't think it will occur that way.

I doubt it would "destroy" him per se. I think if that were to arise then he'd step up even harder, although the conflict between being honest about his feelings while also contemplating how much healthier it'd be for her to be with a boy her own age would possibly destroy him. That kind of conflict for a guy like him could do some damage but he would probably pull through and say something, at which point Rin has got what she wanted and would end it with the other tyke. I highly doubt Aoki would go back to Houin for much of anything, even if Rin attempted to crush him like that.

Sometimes I wonder if KW or her editors read forums like this and get ideas?

I am convinced that KW's English is pretty good. But from her twitter etc. it sounds like she has quite a busy life and I would be surprised if she got ideas from English sites. I think the ideas are just spilling out of her head all the time!

I do wonder if she's ever peeked at Moon-Speak though...

I think this must be the premier site for KnJ discussion (I know there are MANY others but not linked with Sayo's site like this one).

adding a boyfriend for Rin feels too NTRish,more than make Aoki rage it would make the READER's rage.

its not gonna happen anyways,IRC all the girls at school are probably spreading slutty rumours about her and the boys are just too horny/juvenile/stupid to stimulate her in any way.

Rin is the one who needs Aoki

I hate NTR more than any other trope. This is one of the possible developments for the next chapter, but I hope it doesn't come true for Aoki's sake. It would probably confuse him and make him question his own feelings, and lead to more contrived misunderstandings.

I can see Rin doing this to spite Aoki, but I wouldn't think she'd be seriously interested in any boy her age. I think she is becoming like many young women who pursue and feel attracted only to older men. (Her mother may have been the same way; her ex-boyfriend appeared to be much older than her.) I see her attraction to Aoki stemming from a longing to feel safe with a reliable father figure, and young boys wouldn't offer the same sense of protective masculinity that a sympathetic adult male does. And since boys tend to mature slower than girls, I don't see any same-age male being a serious contender for her affections for a long time, if ever.

in real time .... many things comes to late...if KW write this story based on semi realistic condition..there would be many things to regrets for Aoki in next chapter. i hope not...
well if it happen then Aoki should be realize that he just an occasion for every student in his class.....(ugh,,,,that's really hurt for him after he realize his true felling for Kokonoe..)

No. That opens up copyright problems. That happens all the time, someone claiming this movie, or that book was my idea. That's the reason studios, et al, return unsolicited scripts, etc. They only accept scripts from agencies, where people are represented. That's the typical story.
