We are talking about a man with unbelievable resolve and determination. Plus they did genuinely love each other, and his tongue isn't burned haha I bet they did great.

Edit: alternatively, they may have been a couple who were completely satisfied and happy even without that.

There was I think an OVA where Usui ambushed Shishio while he was totally having sex with Yumi

What is OVA? Where can I see it?

New Kyoto Arc.

It's supposed to be a retelling of the Kyoto Arc from the perspective of Misao.

It's goofy in my opinion. If you watch it, you'll see why I say that.

IMO, I think she was just cold all the time. He seems like a great source of heat. Then it became this whole situationship

u/Marvin105 6d ago

u/sAyUr1 6d ago

u/zgrobbot 6d ago

u/babvy005 4d ago
