Talk:Loveless (manga)

On Kio

It is all but explicitly said that Kio is homosexual.

Um, what. I know there was a character profile of Kio that stated he had a wife (or at least, female lover) and a two-year-old daughter. That doesn't mean Kio can't be homosexual, but I think that implies more that he's at least bisexual. ...Or just flirting with Soubi, since he's not seen to be interested in anyone else.

Sorry *signs post* I keep forgetting to do that. Kyuu (talk) 22:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Bloodless?

Someone should update the character list to include Bloodless. --Agnostic Certainty (talk) 04:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Probably. In fact further proof of what I was talking about, the Minor character list dosent even include Mei and Mimuro. C'mon guys! They were in book 5 for goodness sakes, that was 4 books and a few years ago (released in 2007)

This is what I was talking about in one of the above things, this article seems to have ignored a fair bit of stuff from book 5 and beyond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.66.105.143 (talk) 17:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Missing Characters

Yeah. I am just looking through this and there are far too many missing elements, I mean other peoples complaints aside, there are MANY characters from both the manga and anime that are missing. Ai, Midori, Ginka, Kinka, I don't believe that Ritsuka's therapist shows up either. So yeah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.145.243 (talk) 23:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Vol 9 has been out in Japan for a few months now, someone needs to update that section of the article---Tlarseth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.248.38.221 (talk) 05:46, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

According to CD Japan, vol. 9 hasn't even been released yet. Kaguya-chan (talk) 19:07, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh? Thats not the way I had heard it. But I digress, the fact remains, this article is terribly out of date. In fact, now it is not so much out of date as it is absurdity. For example: According to this articles character list, Ai, Midori (Volume 1 for goodness sake.) Ginka, Kinka, Mei and Mimuro (Or however his name is spelled.) do not exist. I mean for goodness sakes, we can include Kio's daughter who just recently appeared, but characters who have been around since volume 1, 2, 5, etc. are not included? It's just silly if you ask me.

However, ignoring the fact that several minor characters are not even in the article, I would also suggest this article just needs a general clean-up in terms of... well I'll just flat out say it.... there are a few contradictions and other things that would just be less blaring if the article was brought up to date. Examples, in the bit about Soubi, ahem

"When given a command to break the windows, courtesy of Seimei, in volume 8, it is shown that he cannot disobey, no matter how strongly he is against it. Soubi appears to know much more about Seimei and his cause of death than he will divulge."

Am I the only one who thinks it is absurd that within a few sentences it is both confirmed that Seimei is alive (i.e volume 8) yet refers to the cause of his "Death" I mean if we want to say why he faked his own death, that is fine. But I would suggest that this article is.... I would say out of date but that doesn't describe it. Aspects of chapters that were JUST RECENTLY released are included (ex. Kio's daughter.) however characters who have been in existence since the first or second volumes are not included.

Another example of where it is out of date. Apparently Nagisa's background and affiliation are unknown.... despite the fact that it was... oh Id say a year ago at least that it was confirmed that she is in Seven Moons.... however the Ritsu section does mention that she is in the Seven Moons.

Im sorry, but the fact that Volume 9 hasn't officially been released according to CD Japan does not excuse the fact that several characters who have been around for quite a while are not included and that the article is full of contradictions in general. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.205.165 (talk) 18:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

"Not yaoi"?

That article quoting Yun Kouga as stating Loveless is "not a yaoi" has always bothered me. It is taken out of context. Loveless is not a yaoi. It is however still a shounen-ai. I'm not really big on being able to edit these articles but thought I'd bring up the point if anyone cares to fix and address it at some point.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHovKRHppp0 <-- In this video of an interview with Yun Kouga at Anime Expo in 2009, I believe, at 7:49, the question is asked "Is Loveless going to become a yaoi or stay shounen-ai?" to which she replies something to the effect of in development she had considered making Loveless a hardcore yaoi but circumstances being what they are that is not happening. She then goes on to say she may someday make a doujinshi though. I don't think simply having it stated that she said it's "not a yaoi" is incorrect and out of context. It basically just sounds like someone trying to prove it's not homosexual in any regard. Which is untrue.
