Re: 35 OP

[kristenell.livejournal.com]

It still really bothers me, and it is precisely for what the above commenter said. It is just, Ao's actions didn't set up for an honest relationship, and just because that wasn't his original intention doesn't mean he still wasn't taking advantage of a person in a weaker situation, who had no recourse in the matter. And to me that is reprehensible, no matter how tempting it is, it is still manipulative and problematic for a long lasting reaction.

Not to say I condone Kou's cheating, because that was horrible too, and I think at the very least Kou probably should have re-evaluated his feelings for Ao and his relationship just based on how much he cheated, although I think that part of the reason Ao lets him get away with the cheating is that it keeps Kou the reprehensible and guilty one in the relationship. So in the end, I think it was probably a good thing that they didn't end up together, because a relationship based on guilt and shame is never a good thing.

I honestly think Ao lets him get away with cheating simply because he's a hopeless romantic. Not necessarily to make Kou guilty... The way I see it, he stays because he likes/loves/obsesses over Kou, and Kou's choice not to break up with him all this time, allows him to cling with a, sort of, clear conscience. "If he wanted, he could break up with me." That kind of thought...

Yeah, it probably was. Them not ending up together. Kou would have ended up cheating and cheating all over again. At least after this, Ao would think twice about not being completely honest... it still kind of hurts to see him broken after Kou left him, though. Even if he deserved it, absolutely.

Oh, this conversation reminded why I didn't like this manga and I usually like Koide Mieko.

Word. There was no way Kou could trust Ao again.
