I am sorry. I'm not entirely sure why Nacchan can't return to tokyo. I got the idea she was bullied at school, but that seems like a childish thing to risk losing the love of her life over.

Painful experiences can really effect you for a long time and it seems that Tokyo just triggers bad memories for her. Besides the bullying it looks like her mother also left them to go back to Tokyo and now her lover is also leaving for Tokyo. So she probably associates Tokyo with a lot of negativity and it's a hard thing to break.

I don't think it will help their relationship much if she's constantly unhappy being in Tokyo even being with the love of her life. It might even destroy what they have.

I don't think this story had a bad ending. I just would have rather seen Nacchan overcome her fear of Tokyo, and gone with Kiri, in the end. separations in romance make me sad. Even if the couple get back together. I think of all the time they wasted apart.

nightpulsar is her nsfw label. or was it peachpulsar? i get the two mixed up.

So Mira is just one artist, and she is a woman?

I couldn't find anything on Mira 's gender. I actually got the impression Mira was a man, do to the raunchy nature of Mira's sex stories.

Are all Mira artist women, or just nightpulsar?

I've read several novels, about lesbian first love. I was surprised on how many mcs had the subplot of an overbearing mother, that micro-managed their lives.

It's sad. Japan has a growing population crisis. Yet their laws activity hinders lesbians from becoming parents. You would think that the government would do anything to encourage a growth in the birth rate.

Don't you know that gay people destroy families and if you force them into heterosexual arrangements they'll pop out children like everybody else? Learn your politics.

If the japanese politicians are as corrupt and stupid as our american ones then I don't want to know them.

We don't know how old is this vampire.

Maybe pedophile would be a better word? :D

I think whether a person (or souless blood sucker, as the case maybe be) is a pedophile, or not, is determined by the age of the alleged victom, and not the perpetrator.

(ugh!) Not only is Miyoko a vampire, she is a youth obsessed womanizer, as well. Of course Saki's love is probably going to make an honest woman, I mean vampire, out of her. If Miyoko was a male character I would would be so p.o.ed. But, because Miyoko is a female blood sucker, I want the two to get together. Sometimes my love of all things yuri is a curse.

So basically vampire bats that can hold a conversation and don't bother cattle. ʅ ( • ε • ) ʃ

Yeah, if the bat was immune to most mortal weapons, had super human strength, and speed, and could drain you dry.

I always got a lecture, from my know it all friend, when I called it cat poop coffee. A asian palm civet is not a cat it's aviverridae. (don't ask me what that is, because I don't know) Now you can ruin other people's fun with stupid useless knowledge, that no one wants.

Ill thow my hat in the ring with the useless information that it dosent have a shitty taste but it does have a strong scent and intresting color. (I lost a bet) all in all I hate coffee but id give it a 5/10, and yes it was expensive for some ungoddly reason.

Rich people need something to spend their money on, and a reason to feel more sophisticated, and worldly, than us lowly normmies. Cat poop coffee gives them both. Thats why rich people need the tax break, otherwise us regular people would waist it on things like clothes, food, and shelter.

edit: I realised I was going on a bit of a rant there. I was going to erase it, but then thought naw it's pretty funny.

at least make it elephant cofee.

Maybe I can get a job at the zoo. I can start feeding coffee beans, to a bunch of different exotic animals. I could collect the beans then blend them together. I'll call the coffee Johnb's Exotic Safari Blend. The marketing practicality writes itself.
I can see it now. Rich snobs sitting around a coffee shop. Sipping my coffee. Saying things like: "I can really taste the peacock poop."

imagine thinking vampires could possibly be straight

Vampires aren't staight, or gay. They are blood sucking hell spawn. Their only purpose is to feed on our very lifeblood.

Just a passing thought: The human friendly vampires, in movie, and books, always get their blood from hospitals, and blood banks, to prove they don't kill people. So, what about the people, who need blood transfusions to live? I'm always hearing about how our blood supply is dangerously low. And they are constantly doing blood drives. So, aren't vampires still, at least, risking human lives, when they take blood from those places?

Those blood transfusions are saving people though. Without them Vampires would die. Isn't that exactly what blood transfusions are for? Keep people who need blood from dying?

No.Those vampires are being cruelly kept in captivity. Forced to perform in crappy teen dramas, and appear in horrible books, where they whine about about their emotions. You need to release them into the wild. Where they can feed on their natural food source, nightmares, fear, and human blood straight from the vein.

Risking lives of how many? 100? 1000? Millions?

Doesn't matter when the count of their prey is in billions.

Vampire related deaths are in the billions? Really? Where did you get your numbers from? I think you're another victim of fake news, my friend.

There's a pretty serious difference between an Author Tract and portraying a character's subjectively valid take on things. Or to put it in very crude terms one does not need to be a Nazi to write a credible one.

Writing a nazi is easy. You take a normal person, you remove logic, reason, and any sense of human decency. Then you add a triple helping of undeserved sense of superiority. tada, you have a nazi.

I give up. I can't see how anybody can look at what Kousaka did to Jinno as anything other than rape. One could argue that it's just a story, so relax. One could argue that it was a positive experience for Jinno, though I think that would be a hard sell for many. One could even argue that the rape was just Kousaka's misguided attempt to help Jinno become an adult. What you can't argue is it wasn't rape. Jinno did not give consent. She is a child, to young to give consent, even she did. That is rape, both in the letter of the law, and the spirit of it. It kind of scary how many people want to believe it's not.

Is not rape, the girl was seduce to do thing that she doesn´t know but it was clearly allowed.

I suppose date rape drugs are all right too, then.

'And a special acknowledgment to the author of Niven's Law: "There is a technical, literary term for those who mistake the opinions and beliefs of characters in a novel for those of the author. The term is 'idiot'."'
- S.M. Stirling, quoted on Wikipedia

Okay that's not entirely true. Authors have been using their "fictional" characters to express their own views and opinions since the dawn of writing.
