THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER.
----------------------------------------
Here we are, the last chapter of volume 12. Summary below the fold




First of all, wow, what a speech by Aoki. Not exactly a love confession, but it finally cleared up that misunderstanding which was the overriding theme throughout this volume. However, it appears that Aoki is going to have to deal with another misunderstanding, this time from Boing as she thinks Reiji is his gay lover XD.

But then Reiji, I dunno. On one hand, I'm glad he gave up his sick fantasies of raising Rin to be his child bride, but then he seriously thinks he has nothing to live for, so he's going to commit suicide in order to be together with Aki again? Hopefully Mimi can straighten him out.

And then there's the principal. Is he actually molesting students like he did in that one promo chapter of this manga? I wonder how that's going to turn out? In any case, great chapter to end the volume on, it gets a five :)

I know Reiji has changed but I didn't know he was willing to entrust Rin to Aoki now. At least it looks like he still has Mimi.

this chapter are fully of revelation, statements... and the classic expand of these stories.. just when the final are too close... another arc comes :/

there is no way, is helpless... aoki sensei is my truly real hero! the model and the way a real man must follow (lolita way :D)

finally reiki acknowledge aoki, (at last!), two guys loving and protecting the same girl , to the point to surrender to the other for her sake...

the worst issue of knj manga... psicological problems never been so easy to resolve ^^

i think rin's eyes at the moment boing revealing his dumping drama had other meaning: usually when someone rejected a confession, is because he had other love... so.. she deducted aoki love must be she... she even had sweat and impact fx :P... but a promise is a promise... rin seems to has a grip in it ("until i become an adult")

That was an absolutely fantastic chapter. I really like how the characters are developing, but I'm a little worried for Reiji. I was particularly surprised at Reiji's thought that he was going to have Aoki watch over Rin. 5/5

thats gonna make things hard on Aoiki who just started warming up to his own feelings. It gonna be intresting. Maybe the author is gonna do something like the difference between falling in love with a child and being a pedophile.

I do think its awesome how he just accepts that one day they will be married but its worrying my how he equates it with the end of his life but don't worry thats where mini steps in to save him. We seen she is already doing the research. Thats highlarryus. I just thought how funny it is that the carefree loli when after her adult lover is all about creating sticky situations for him to be entrapped while the serious and quite one takes a more studious approach to catch her adult prey.

Aoki has already dealt with the "love vs. pedo" stuff in his mind - see chapter 72.

I'm interested if a situation similar to the pilot chapter is gonna come up.

It's a scary world in which grade school students throw around lines like that XD
Kokujin-kun said:
"Huh? But last night, we..." Houin tries to recall what happened: she got drunk off her ass and solicited random guys at the bar for sex, but Shirai saved her and took her home by taxi despite Houin's protests, however her mood shifted as she tells Shirai that she's so nice and proceeds to kiss her (much like she did Chika back in chapter 55) while Shirai demanded that she stop feeling her up. "Wait, did I do anything to you?" Houin asks.

"Drop dead," a blushing Shirai replies.p.

I laughed so hard at this part that my stomach started to hurt XD Boin really is a bad drunk XD
Kokujin-kun said:

/Aoki speech/

The guy is totally right about all this and he put it into right words, if two people have feelings for eacj other then it is no vuisness of others to tell them to stop just because it may give birth to questions inconvenient for them.
Kokujin-kun said:

"Aoki-kun!"

"Oyajima-sensei!" The two teachers promptly bro-hugs(?).

"Noooo!" cries out Shirai in horror since Oyajima just ruined their plans to wait until the end of the next school year to get married.

Or because Oyajima sesnsei is soiled in front of her by Aoki just like she was by Houin XD Again I laughed hard at this :)
Kokujin-kun said:

Yeah, all hopes in Mimi-chan now. All this sick wife-husbandry plan aside Reiji really is just another broken person that never meant anything bad and really cared for Rin, he deserves a happy conlusion to his loneliness

It's amazing how this story has progressed so well over the last few chapters. I absolutely adored this one and it was a fantastic note to end the volume on.

AokixRin is essentially assured at this point in the future and seeing Reiji's plain acceptance of this was a heartwarming sight. He seemed to finally accept his role more as a father than as a future husband which I admit was creepy. It's clear now he just wants what is best for her now and I hope he gets his happy ending one way or the other as it seems he has a heart of gold. He just doesn't value his own existence enough and he should really try living for himself, especially now that Rin is getting a bit older and able to look after herself a bit more.

Happy for Shirai, whether her marriage was being announced or not. It's clear that she will be happy with Oyajima and the facts about them coming out now could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. There is no more need for them to hide and they can just be themselves, even at work now which I'm sure will be a refreshing change for Shirai at least. Oyajima was already chill lol.

When Houin said she had been rejected, seeing Rin's eyes and expression made my heart warm, I'm happy that that misunderstanding had been cleared up. It may even have made her love for Aoki stronger as I'm sure she could come to the conclusion that she is the one in his heart. It's plain to see after all, even Reiji has accepted it.

All in all, I loved this chapter and I can't wait for the next one. 5/5!!!

humm i see a lot of comments about pedophile and sick people... well to began i agree pedophile are more than sick, psyco...

i think knj is not a pedo manga or something else, i see it like the girls firsts feelings to sex crude and real, the desire, the dreams, even the unreal dreams (chuck umbilical cordon XD) all the excitement and the first teacher love, but with a twist... this time can be real , can i? watashiya at the moment starts to break all the difficultness for us

i like more this because im a man, and feel curiosity about the desires of women (mangaka desires) well some of these are too much to me i admit (worm test) but still like it because is real

a real pedo manga shows us bare bodies , raw and explicit sex and mechanical situations (i suppose :P), and usually have masculine mangakas, not femenine, with extreme bodies... some pedophile reading this manga? i bet he must be angry because 4 years and no sex!

side note, Aoki is not pedo or loli... (this is the core of fun to me) he doesnt like to see naked girls ... but his love to Rin is pure, without sex desires, almost like a dad , 79 manga is key to understand that , i want to see AokixRin marry ... but is uncertain

I can see it now.

1. Houin goes to talk with Aoki about his relationship with "Kokonoe-san".
2. Aoki flips his shit out and begs Houin not to tell anybody, since his career as a teacher would be over and pretty much his whole life ruined.
3. Houin assures Aoki to keep his secred, with adding that "Gay couples aren't that special nowdays".
4. Aoki realises Houin's misunderstanding, but there is no way in hell he could go back correct her that it's Rin he's interested in.

Wow, Reiji is in a really bad place. I really hope Mimi can sort him out and that she blooms into maturity realising that she can help adults instead of always being helped by them.

I love how KnJ has progressed from its beginnings of a new Aoki, to how the girls are coming of age now they're in the last year of primary education (11-12 in Japan right?).

I love how the children are seen as interested and confused by emotion, feelings of love and desire yet the adults are all suffering the same problems!

Indeed, it's already been said that Rin is waiting until she is a bit older so she can be the woman...not the girl that Aoki wants.

So that statement is nothing more than a troll =P

Wow.. great Chapter. Love Aoki's speech, it was brilliant. I feel for Houin, but I think Aoki (Daisuke) may end up with her at first, but a twist in the story happens (maybe breast cancer, or something like that), and he ends up with a 18-year old gorgeous Rin.

So far, I liked this chapter 5/5. If rin is still 12 and she has to become a woman, then there are still 4 years left. In Japan 16 is the adult age right? If not then 6 years for 18. Regardless, will Aoki even wait that long? Also, the black haired girl may have a crush on Aoki.( Rins lesbian friend, forgot her name) I hope for more drama with rin and aoki because that has been the main interest for me so far, but with this leap it is either going to be the conclusion and a big time gap skips, or in the next chapter the author, which she has done in the past, will have Aoki say something along the lines of his speech not being about their situation and that he still thinks of her as a daughter figure. Anyways I am not convinced until a real confession is announced. With all these twist everything is still out in the open.

I dislike Aoki here. Teachers have responsibility and you shouldn't kiss in elementary school.

Oooh, those tears of joy. Oh gawd, Shirai punches him!
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

Some would say that you shouldn't expose middle- or highschoolers to such thing either. The truth is however that such thing is a part of interhuman relationships and as such a part of reality, censoring it out by forbiding two adults to have such relationship because it would be troublesome to explain it to kids is just building a lie for one won convenience.
Of couerse it is another matter entirely when an auldt kisses a child.
