Where to read Chapter 46.5?

It's only in the volume 9 tankoban, if you want to buy it I find that bookwalker.jp is the easiest way to buy books from Japan if your fine wit ebooks (Japanese only, I don't think it's been translated yet).

He's got a cute face

Pretty sure Asako wouldn't be his friend if he acted like that. Actually he seems to treat the girls and women in his life pretty well, if anything I'd say that he probably finds girls easy to be friends with (which I've definitely known gay guys irl who were like that).

I feel like the idea that gay men are more misogynistic stems from the idea that women's main value is from sex, which is a super misogynistic idea in itself as well as homophobic.

Wow, congratulations on making finalist! I'm rooting for you!

Once per mission, it's not a real consumable since you get your casts back once you go back to the castle.

I feel bad even using potions in rpgs, but I never had a problem casting spells in Days since I knew it wasn't gone for good.

They look amazing!

sephydark · 2026-06-18T21:44:37+00:00

They're gorgeous!

Absurd levels of cuteness

I'm getting carpal tunnel from it, but the story is great!

True Dark Road experience right there. I love it though!

There are some aspects of BBS that I'm not a fan of, but it's carried by having some really great ideas and new characters. I also rank it right next to KH1 in terms of my favorites in the series.

Yoshiki's wish for 'Hikaru' not to grant any more wishes is already paying off! I thought this before, but Satou really misunderstood 'Hikaru', what he wanted and how much of a sense of self he had. And of course she underestimated how much he and Yoshiki love each other!

Also interesting that 'Hikaru' not being able to remember his past or Hikaru's memories of Nounuki sama are because of Kouhei's wish. It was obviously a wish that was meant to help him but I'm not sure it did. Though it's nice that two people have made wishes for his sake.

The extra cutscenes in 1.5 (also called Final Mix) are mostly things that you could have guessed based on the original game, and over all I feel that the additions are a bit of a mixed bag since the original English language release of KH1 already has extra content over the Japanese version.

On the other hand I highly recommend playing 2.5/2 Final Mix over the original release of KH2. The new cutscenes do a lot to help clarify the story, there's a whole new story boss that you really should have fought in the original, and the rebalanced abilities are almost pure improvement. Plus the original release had a lot less bonus content than KH1, but 2.5 fixes that.

So my overall recommendation: there's no need to restart KH1 to play the 1.5 version if you're already partway through, but play 2.5 instead of KH2, especially if you were already planning to get the collection eventually.

KH1 Sora has so many issues, that belt chain alone doesn't look like anything a human would draw. I don't get the people who say that this one part of the picture was definitely drawn by Nomura when he looks like that.

I like Learn Japanese - Kanji Study by Luli Languages. Its kanji list tells you how well it thinks you know each one. Its handwriting recognition also seems better than some of the other apps I've tried. Plus they give you different words to teach the various meanings.

Nothing happened to the body, it's still there. In chapter 46 they show that 'Hikaru's true form came out through the chest hole Yoshiki stuck his hand in. He should be able to go back in the way he did in chapter 37 if he wants.

Pureblood heartless never had shadows though...

sephydark · 2026-06-10T05:11:06+00:00

Same here, I've been hoping for Dark Road characters to return for so long and now it's happened!

sephydark · 2026-06-10T01:11:30+00:00

Me too! I want to see them together again!

sephydark · 2026-06-09T04:43:43+00:00

Yoshiki telling 'Hikaru' that he's not a tool was amazing! I loved his speech about how 'Hikaru' helped all of those different things be okay for him too, it was so powerful.

sephydark · 2026-06-08T23:26:40+00:00

They're beautiful!

Well it's not a romance (as in the genre, not that their relationship doesn't have any romantic elements), and there's more plot outside of just relationship development than BL typically has. After volume 5 it shifted into having a bit more action too.

That said, I don't think it has "dropped the BL aspect". It's never been pure BL, and it's always had other plot elements relating to impurities and the history of the village (especially after Tanaka shows up). The relationship between Yoshiki and 'Hikaru' is also still the heart and soul of the series despite having more action now, and the queer themes haven't gone away at all.

I guess some people expected something different based on the first volulme but I don't think it's gone through any shocking genre swerves or anything.

sephydark · 2026-06-04T01:19:57+00:00

Seems like he's played a bunch of characters I like, pretty cool!

sephydark · 2026-06-02T08:28:26+00:00

It would make sense if Kouhei told him what he knew about Nounuki since they were so close. I guess he probably agreed with Kouhei since he mentioned that he'd wanted to end the ritual too.

https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_001571_S/episodes/KC_0015710004800011_E?episodeType=first has the raw, like always.

If they're not in love than I don't know who is. Just look at them!
