WWhy must this series be monthly, 285 was such an interesting chapter now we must wait an extortionate amount of time to find out only a little bit more.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
I must say however the twist in this chapter was very well played, managed to explain the incredibly slow pace of their relationship in just a couple of pages, which was very impressive
i thought that that twist was so painful that its stupid.
i always thought of it in the way that what would be better, watching them do interesting stuff, or kissing or having sex most of the chapters.
i always looked at it with a more so what kind of thinking. i mean in real life what do you do it the person you love? because making out or sex is a very minor part. its more spending time with each other and enjoying their company. this manga is close to 25 years old. and i will say it now, there is not a chance in hell this little tidbit was in it from day one to have it all make sense in a thinking back from the beginning kind of way.
what i want to know is what triggered that system, because god knows its either insanely specific, or its something that will ruin a relationship.
though i'm giving it the benefit of the doubt that it will end better than im thinking, i just cant see how it will be a good thing.
Ok. I really don't buy the whole, "controlling his urges" crap. If that was the case, then what was the point of Urd and Peorth goading them on, or when yggdrasil went down, shouldn't that have taken out the spell temporarily? I just think that the author forgot what he was going for, and just wrote random explanation, I mean 25 years is a long time and ideas tend to be forgotten.
I could easily relate to the character when he was too shy to do anything sexual to her since that's how I am in real life(shy).
I mean I love innocent romance, and I love the series for it. I can't really see them making out every chapter. If anyone wants that, there are other manga.
Overall, this whole plot point kinda ruined the characters for me, tho I gotta admit, this is still one of my favorite manga.
