yes but you know, it's a manga... It's not real life.

YO YO! When you're out gay bashing, Ill be at your house fucking your girlfriend! in the ass!

And? It`s a manga, that`s right, but how many mangas do you know that can start a so deep discussion about it? I`m not saying you`re wrong either, It`s a manga, any of his characters are real, they`re non-existent beings, but I think they come to life every time we talk about them, when we laugh with them, when we cry with them in every new chapter.So it`s true, it`s a manga, the best manga that that I`ve read, I mean, that WE have read. If we don`t pass the line betwen reality and fantasy, I think it`s ok to unleash our imaginations a little, dont you think.?If I was rude, I`m apoligize for my behavior, really, it`s just that I feel that I had to wrote that, It`s something that I think. n _ n.

Thank you so much Samus for proving our point, i could kiss you if i could. Stoner has said the same tiresome comment like 4 times? who cares anyway, that's what i mostly do i talk like it was real to make the story come to life, using you imagination is the best part of reading a manga or just a novel.

Try to understand Stoner boy, we're not idiots we know it's not real, our minds hold no limits we just choose to discuss KNJ like it was.

Dark Samus

TTwTT uuuuh, Thank You Newnie, I tought that my comment would offend Stoner, but now I know without a doubt that I`m not the only one who feel the joy and sadness in this manga. That`s what I talking about, that`s the fun about Kodomo no Jikan, thank you K. Watashiya.

Newnonimous

Yeah we should definitely thank her for creating this manga, it's a masterpiece and yes Samus you are not alone about Kodomo no Jikan i'm on the same subject as you.

True, but I also believe that some day he'll get into trouble more than he has been now, for the simple reason that no good deed goes unpunished. I agree with what you say that Aoki is one of the nicest characters I have come across, but sadly the world we live in does not acknowledge nor recognise the purity of this motives so that sooner or later someone will flag him as a paedophile or something like that. In fact, in certain parts of the world, he would already have been tossed in jail. While I don't want to see that happen, I do believe that he cannot continue this way.

She doesn't, but my wife and I are willing to translate a message. I've been thinking of sending her a thank you e-mail myself, in both Japanese and English, so that if anything is lost in translation, she might be able to understand some of the English text.

Well I see there has been plenty of discussion while I've been gone. Most of what Aoki does with Rin would be unacceptable for any school district yet while in this story it is totally appropriate. That was why Shirai changed her view on the whole skinship thing with Aoki because you must take into consideration each child's personal situation. I still feel Reiji will try to get Rin transferred to the other class or remove her once he knows she is lost to him.

I actually have a question about something Reiji said in the chapter. When he was helping Mimi, he expressed frustration about Aoki not teaching them anything about puberty. Now when I went to the 5th grade(there was still a Berlin Wall then), that was a not a teacher's place. Is it different in Japan? I mean I kind of doubt but you never know.

Newnonimous

Well Kikster, If it weren't for Kuro that started to pay more attention to Shirai, she would have never known what Aoki was going though with those girls.

Yeah Nitrogen, i can send you my message to her and you can translate it, that would be awesome.

Kikiskeeter

To scrumly1, the whole point with Reiji's comments about aoki is more geared to his need to make Aoki look less heroic or intelligent than himself. It is a part of his little self delusion that he is this great guy. Face it, he really didn't do much to give Mimi any confidence in her self just made her a little more aware of how fast she is growing and leaving her childhood long before she is ready. Much the way Reji really want to do with Rin.
