@Samus, I mainly was worried about getting in the way here if we wanted to talk about her other stuff. Naturally only people who are interested would read the other topic(s). Megane-chan is less "ecchi" than KnJ and other things are more so. At any rate this place will be here whatever else is going on.

Looking over some of her other works is okay to me as you could see some of her proof of concept being developed but what I really see in some of her other works is just a lot of the same jokes used over and over. Knj was definitively written to be a defining work for her. I feel this is the one all of her future works will be judged by and her previous as developing into what Knj became. I really hope she can continue to create great mangas for years to come and doesn't get too commercial with her future ventures after KNJ.

Now back to chapter 58, It seems more event to me that Reiji will never change his course. It whole I'll teach you what you need to know when the time comes shows that he is not will to change. I feel there will be a substantial change in store for the status quo of the book. Also don't forget Mimi was suppose to bring back Reiji's hanky to him. I see a scenario were Rin in her anger and after letting words fly leaves the house and Aoki follows. Mimi arrives and unaware of the drama. With heighten emotions, Reji see a bit of a difference in the way Mimi is dressed and lets the wolf loose. Aoki finds Rin at the same park from the "breakup" scene, and the two talk about what has gone on and Rin is given the choice by Aoki to stay with Reiji or go with him. She decides to think it over and give Reiji one more chance. Aoki walks her back home. The two enter the house and try to find Reiji only to find him on the couch with a struggling Mimi in a state of partial dress. Mimi crying as she is struggling to get free. Rin confronts Reiji as Aoki enters the room. Aoki threatens to call the police, but Mimi and Rin convince him not to. The three leave and go to Aoki's apartment. The next day he takes Mimi home and heads to Rin's house to collect her school book and get her some clean clothes for the new school day. Reiji, who call off work, sits at the kitchen table, a stack of pictures and other memorabilia in front of him. Aoki and Reiji have a heart to heart. Reiji agrees to let Aoki take care of Rin for awhile. As Aoki walk to the school with Rin's things he stops at a newstand and picks up a rental properties classified. He clearly state that he hoped he manage to save enough for the down payment.

@Ugetsu: I think it is PasuKon, as in Personal Computer. The picture helped, I realized that is what you are trying to read.

Don't you love how Japanese contracts English better than English? Lolicon, Famicom, etc.?

Shinobu

Hey, does anyone know how she thinks about her American fans? Does she even know, other than the flap with Seven Seas?

Wow.... you really put a lot of thought into that Kikster. It kinda makes sense the way you interpret it, not to sound like an idiot but i guess right about Rin using a object for her P***y but it was a lucky guess i'm sure, but hey you may be right as well.

From my perspective view theres at least two things from your statement that may not happen just yet. One, Mimi won't show up anytime soon as she barely appears or plays a plot point on any of the chapters so this situation won't occur till later, and two, Even if Rin does run away from home, Reiji isn't going to let Aoki have her, he'll just go after her himself and not only that it will just provoke him more to act violent.

@Samus: i'm with you about the same thing. I don't really enjoy lolicon, or hentai but KNJ is indeed something else i read it because of the story not the fan-service were recieving. However there are other mangas that are just as deep as this one and they're not lolicon mangas, it just varies on a persons particular taste in drama

With the way Rin became hyper sensitive from not flicking the bean, It makes her staying with Reiji even more dangerous in my opinion, also. Reiji also having taken to account of his own lack of life experiences need to find time to explore them. In some way he almost comes off as a teen aged mom you would see in a movie. All these opportunities coming his way, but he has to go take care of Rin instead of finding life full of endless possibility. Of course once more the idea of Rin torturing poor Aoki 24-7 just takes the cake in my own mind, too. Plus i see this as a way for his sister to come onto the story more as she moves to the area following job leads and help Aoki pay rent (which is being provided by mom and dad secretly as Aoki would never accept his generous aid up front.)

Newnonimous

It does also seem unfair for Reiji not to have another person in his life as Rin keeps driving them away from him, which makes it harder for him to start having a normal life. On the other hand, the strip club wasn't exactly a place to meet a women who respects herself, so for both of them it's a stale mate. If Aoki can actually see that he may tell Rin to let Reiji live his life and if he does find someone special to fill that hollow void in his heart he may be restored and cease his old ways and start a new one with Rin of course. Rin also has to learn to let go if she deep down still loves Reiji then she would try to encourage him to date someone really nice and can take care of him.

Kikiskeeter

That is also a bit of a twist, the current state of things is inherently unfair to all in it.

Dark Samus

o.O Wow Kikis, that`s an interesting plot. It could work, really. Im impressed, seriously. You have quite a future in the mangaka work If you wish to XD. We should write a mail to K.W and send her your idea.Seriously, I`m not joking, I`m going to dream with that scene tonight.

Newnonimous

That would be an awesome idea, only there's a little problem with that. You see K.W doesn't quite understand English very well and most of us here are pretty poor with japanese(with the exception of Ugetsu and Nitrogen). Even if we succeeded, she may not respond to it but we can only dream. Me and Kikster once thought about sending her an e-mail about a possible ending sequence that he and i thought of but we don't remember what.

@Kikster: However seeing as you have quite an image about the next plot in the future chapters(which i like) maybe if K.W finishes the manga but the ending wasn't satisfying enough, you should instead create a perfect and enjoyable ending in words and Samus or somebody can draw the images to make the story more satisfying.
