Newnonimous

Oh wow i didn't know that. Well most of the authors or writers always finish their story before adapting them into visual images. Thanks for the info!

One thing I got out of the whole Parfait scene was Reiji has in his mind what makes a girl different from a woman. One thing we did see earlier was him seeing the swelling of her breasts when Rin was ill, he is watching her in a way for signs of maturity. I do feel that that the way he react once he realizes Rin is getting her cookies off will really determine the way Reiji's character will go. I would like for him to research Rin's downloads and maybe reveal some ideals as to what she must be thinking. How is he going to react let's say if the videos are all of men wearing glasses with big members (don't forget Rin's own words Aoki is a lot bigger than Reiji.)

Also about Rin's clothing, Reji states he gives Rin everything he couldn't give Aki. So the sexy underwear, and dresses are him trying to dress Aki. Being he thinks Rin is going to marry him anyway what is the harm in her getting use to the idea of being a little sexy in her dress when around him right? Plus he feels her choices are her way of trying to please him, yet the real reason she dresses the way she is to be attractive to Aoki and to draw attention away from the competition.

Newnonimous

Yeah i already knew all of that Kikster(no offense). Reiji doesn't seem to be too interested at the moment to check on Rin's maturity, he's been busy with many problems including the choices he's making for him and Rin. The way you said that Reiji should check out the vids makes it more worse as you say if most of the pornstars are like Aoki, wouldn't that make him more insane? If K.W. decides to make all the characters age then obviously he will be excited when he see's her results but let's not forget Reiji is doing a little better now and may forget about his sick plans.

And yes, Reiji has always been the one who's pampering her with all the sexy outfits and spoiling her so that he will marry her. Rin is too acustomed to the outfits and the lifestyle Reiji's been encouraging her but she is starting to use it in a different way(e.g. to seduce Aoki). Of course Rin doesn't always wear revealing outfits she occasionally wears just regular dresses to make herself look cute than to look mature so she changes when she feels like it because she already know's Aoki does love her (sexually or not).

Yeah, those outfits were a bit of a double edged sword. She realized in a way they were both a way to get Aoki's attention but that she was gaining too much from Reiji whom she didn't want that from. Her choosing the one dress that she wanted over Reiji seem to show this in a way. Realizing she is drawing Reiji's unwanted love toward her in those outfits and him starting to get the wrong ideas. One thing that really need to be cleared up is what Rin really felt about Reiji and Aki relationship. What does she remember seeing. We have Reiji and Aki veiw of it but what affect is it having on her Psyche right now. Is a bit of her action regarding Aoki resultant of the way Reiji treated Aki. Physically if you see in 35.5 he is rough with her, could this also be found in her choice of entertainment? I just realized what if it almost entails physical rape? Hey the Japanese really make some off the wall stuff.

Newnonimous

Well the way i see Reiji and Aki's astray relationship is that they both face depression because of the events that impacted their lives though they are a bit different from each other(Aki with Rin's father and Reiji with his parents) the problem is about the same. They both needed something to relieve them of their stress, they need satisfaction by any means necessary. Reiji may have been rough with Aki but in a way, she was wanting something from him as well. Aki started the sexual act on him and he just followed as he enjoys it. There really was no relationship involved only satisfaction but since Aki's dead he decided to target Rin as one but that's just another story. Anyway as for Rin i'm guessing that it didn't bothered her she didn't feel offended as long as her mother is happy then so is Rin. Since Aki's death, Rin wanted to find a way to communicate with her to see if she is still happy and to not worry for Rin. The physical rape occurs a lot in Japan not entirely by mangas or books, in that country their minds hold no limitation of their imagination, though i have alot of respect for the Japanese people for such i of course don't always see their ways it's what they want whether anyone likes it or not.

Reading some of the views of the members has some very interesting interpretations especially between 'Newonimous' and 'Kikiskeeter'. One dealing with Rin's dressing habits, and Reiji's state of mind. The way I see it is Rin is maturing bit by bit. Initially, she hadn't accepted her mother's death and thus she tried to keep Reiji from hooking up with other women (not that he wanted to). She also resorted to cheap tactics to get Aoki's attention. Seduction by dressing in revealing clothes, groping him, and at times resorting to threats and extortion. But now she's starting to come to terms with the mother's death, and is starting to move on with her life, as she's not clinging to the past (at least not as much). As far as her approach with Aoki, I kind of agree with 'Newonimous' that she seems more secure with her relationship with him. She doesn't seem to feel the need to try to win Aoki over since he already cares for her (in what way is still the question).

Reiji is another story entirely. He's still clinging to the past, and hasn't put Aki to rest. The scene where he threw himself at the woman in the strip-club because she looked like Aki is proof of this. Rin's character is also starting to look more like Aki as she matures which is enough to make alarms go off with me when considering Reiji's psychological state. The question is what will happen when Reiji is faced with the reality that Rin loves Aoki and not him. Reiji already has contempt for Aoki, thinking that he's still trying to take Rin from him. This whole scenario could send Reiji over the edge. It'll be curious what will be revealed in the next chapter.

Well, i think it is near time for another Rin birthday, and I'm thinking we'll see an update of Reiji's plans. Maybe even have him face a choice of promotion or Rin. This to me is the way I feel his character is heading. You see him being held in high regards at his job, and it seems a lot of his outside interactions are based on co-worker's activities. Let's say there is another boy's night out yet this time the Boss comes with them and offers him a job in their overseas office. Would he realize he could give Rin more by being with her less or be greedy and try to take her with him? Just a scenario I been thinking of.

Isn't Rin's birthday over summer break? I'm just wondering what will happen in the next couple months, because sixth grade starts in April.

Newnonimous

Well Reiji still hates Aoki so if any of those choices were to happen he may try to take Rin with him but she will probably run away and could cause Reiji to team up with Aokito find her. That's what I think could happen.

Another lovely tale. ^_^
