I would say that it was depicted in that way, not only the genitalia but also the pose, etc, to emphasize that it's was pure, raw, primal and physical sex. It underlines that at that moment they were only able to express themselves to each other in a purely physical way. It's ironic that they do lov...

Well, my point of view is colored by the fact that I know a bit about Japanese culture, and in my experience, becoming someone's boyfriend/girlfriend is , in Japan, in most cases, equivalent to starting a sexual relationship. Sex sort of comes with the bf/gf territory, and is more or less expected t...

Faking a happy face is one of the things I haven't done too much. I never saw the point of dong that just to please fair weather "friends" who aren' t really good friends at all anyway. My sort of brooding face didn't make me popular in school, but at least I felt like I could be honest, and that, i...

Ah, the great, mysterious Guest Poster strikes again! I always love to read your ideas. :) Ok, I'll admit I tend to overestimate Hanako a bit, if only because I see so many people underestimating her... Like Oddball says, it may also be due to the lack of social skills and self worth... she was unab...

yummines, Before I also thought I didn't need a lady in my life, but then I I felt that that was actually wrong. So I started to look very hard. Finally she found me. Living together with someone I love can be hard, but it's also very rewarding. Adventsign, thank you for your story. I guess you must...

Well that may be so, but the story is written in such a way that we can't decide this. And the story was written like this, to offer no alternative, so it could better drive the point home. To better deconstruct the "moe cutie", and show that behind her shyness and anxieties, she is an intelligent, ...

Nice, I like this story. I wonder what you're cooking up for the finale.

shiro_midori, that was mostly my intention. You can have sex without love, or love without sex. But I think having both together is much, much better than either of them apart.

And this too! Xerxes, apart from the fact that I think the crying in that scene was genuinely out of worry that her plan had failed I couldn't agree more with you. Hisao of course has his reasons. But you see, I think Hanako proves her brilliance by seeing though Hisao's motivations and doing what s...

Mikka, well, I think it's brave of you to show yourself to us. I certainly wouldn't want to do that. But I guess it helped seeing everyone is cool now. As for the line between white knighting / white princessing someone and helping someone, I think the key is in two things: Try to find out and keep ...

TV Tropes I hate you. :P Hey at least he didn't include a ink. :twisted: I refer to it as a black hole that will destroy all your free time. Hey, I do have standards you know! But there you go linking to that place! How horrible! 8) Oddball, that's why I say "ambiguously brown" and be done with it....

I never thought anything about Hisao forcing her or anything like that until I read it on this forum. It annoyed me when I did come across it; that assertion strips Hanako of her agency and implies that she isn't competent to make that decision. It infantilises her. This! I can't say how much I agr...

Who knows, she's "ambigously brown", go read about it in TV Tropes. (It will ruin your life.) I don't think it really matters very much.

We already had a huge thread on this before... so read that. Begin of rant: What irks me though is the underlying idea that you need to make a song and a dance about sex with the other to consent to it. That's nonsense. If a person takes you to their room and strips, and then comes with you to bed o...

Yumminess, well it's a serious thread with serious problems, but your last post made me laugh out loud. Humor can be a way to help deal with our problems as well, as long as we're not mocking. SO I don't mind a joke or two here now and then. Mika, you're very welcome here, so I'd like to encourage y...
