"FY" Tendencies and Countermeasures Corner (?)
       *Read only if you know how it ends!! Translation by Tasuki no Miko.
I love Taka..... Abrupt. In the beginning Tamahome fans said "He's not the same" "He seems like another person" etc. but I love him. I've said a lot about Nakago and Tasuki up until now but when the end came I think Taka was at last a very important character~ Love2!!
(Now some comments!!)
Tamahome and Taka are the same and different. Why? Because the time Taka existed as "Tamahome" has passed. Since his name and circumstances are different it's misleading but it's because Taka has transformed into (a man) from Tamahome (a boy). By the way, my first image of Taka when he appears after having lost the stones (heart) was a "doll" You can say he would "have no kind of spirit". It wasn't planned but Taka living with "Being created by Suzaku" "Having no memory" and so on means that he is the ideal for the girl (Miaka), right? Being older, he is cooler and kinder. So how did he become a human...? (Speaking of dolls, recent fans probably don't know...There's another Chichiri UFO catcher! It's "my design"...) It was made at a past shojo comic convention. Well, his conflicts are as everyone has read. Did you notice Taka's transformation? No, not just his hair growing. You didn't? H---m...(Double sweat drop)

The star of Part 2 "appeared to be Miaka but was Taka" in the end! Taka, the adult, can no longer go back to Tamahome, the boy. What was important was not "gathering the stones". That was to carry out the process. "Taka" had to appreciate himself as "Taka", and also to appreciate the effects. It was that kind of story!! B-u-t...I've been told by the readers though that "FY" is a work that questions the readers' sensitivity etc..... Oh---?
