[ickdrasil]

oh man this was great, a look behind the curtains showing us what our favorite psychopath is actually thinking.

thanks for the chapter!

 

[Slapdown3]

He's like a precious cinnamon roll, but more like a precious fireball whiskey.

 

[alacaelum]

.......... Okay... I underestimated this boy.

Kirishima is crazy, but he isn't a psychopath, he is a trained "sociopath" with some natural proclivities, so to speak, but even then... he clearly wants human connection, he is more "autistic" than anything else.

Seeing things on his side... he clearly loves her, not an infatuation or simple obsession, he LOVES her.

He is still dangerous, but if there is one woman in the world that can deal with this crazy MF, is Yoshino.

Now... will she stay with him... I really don't know, I certainly wouldn't blame her if she just escaped from this basket case, but I think that maybe... they could work, but boy oh boy... will that be a ride.

But our girl Yoshino really isn't who she is because of her family, on the contrary... her grandfather tried his best to reel her in .

 

[megaeraerin]

the way he's holding/hugging her in the car and when he checked her pulse... ughh my heart

 

[jak]

Did it timeskip at the end?

 

[calledout]

omgggg this chapter was so beautifully paced & drawn... the panels from kirishimas perspective.... ahhhhh

 

[forgettingforgetting]

Did it timeskip at the end?

Checkout Juicebox’s helpful notes after the end of the chapter.

But to save you a read- it’s not a time skip. It’s a flashback their parfait date at the end of Yoshino’s punishing Kirishima with a silent treatment where, for the first time, she wore the dress he gave he gave her.

 

[forgettingforgetting]

The glow up from the earlier chapters to the latest is unreal.

 

[Liar]

I appreciate that, from his perspective, Yoshino always looks beautiful.

 

[malu]

it's funny how yoshino's granpa expect an absolute and everlasting love from kirishima while both of them are absolute fuckboyz with women and had dozens of mistresses and lovers


the 'if she dies, you die'' pretty much implies it, and that's what '' he meant'', the thing kirishima realised in a car when he wasn't sure yoshino was alive and checked her pulse, it wasn't a threat, is was a warning that he wont be able to live without her if he accept the deal.

 

[Reademup]

rereading the first volume with this conversation with Renji in mind really makes it interesting

First, his high expectations for Yoshino to wreck him when they first met, why he told her to sell her body or go back to Osaka after a month of getting bored with her, and his total 180 when she showed her backbone by selling her kidney

 

[MakoRune]

He raised the bar so high for psychotic lover

 

[alacaelum]

He raised the bar so high for psychotic lover

I think it helps that he isn't violent with her.

Sure, he is a little freak who has no sense of restraint when violence becomes a choice, but... I think that if you get on Kirishima's bad side you kinda were deserving it.

Even in his job as "not-yakuza", I don't think he dealt with anyone "innocent".

So, when you look at it like that you start to see that, he isn't one of the unhinged psychos that are always searching for an excuse to hurt someone, it gets easier to like him... but he still needs a tight collar to reel him... which he would like.

 

[Mayday221]

Really like this chapter for the outsider perspective on Yoshino. Being the character whose eyes we see through the most, it's easier for me to discount her unhinged moments as outliers or spur of the moment things; but it's established here that she really is unhinged as these moments show her to be.

Guess it's time to reread, been a while
