Ai no Kusabi - “The man”

The phrase “the man” is constantly used in Ai no Kusabi, especially at the start, by Riki to refer to Iason.

“The man:” as an expression is wonderful and subtle.

It implies how much significance the bearer of this appellation has in your world (psyche), but because the bond is so detestable, you need a moniker that implies distance.

In this word, you see the impact of "Iason" on "Riki", and how unbearable that is to him. It is the truth he hides from himself, with so convenient a word. Never his name.

Paper Talk Special: YOSHIHARA Rieko's interview (1989)

“Riki is an almost full-grown black panther”

YOSHIHARA Rieko has written in a wide variety of genres, from high-school stories to fantasy and science fiction. If there is one thing her characters, like Aki and Kacchan or Iason and Riki, have in common, it’s their impressive charisma. We had the opportunity to ask her more about Ai no kusabi in this interview.

Profile

Pen name’s origin: My birth name. My family name changed when I got married, so I thought “nobody would know it’s me!”.

Date of birth: October 4th, 1954

Blood type: B

Place of birth and residence: born in Fukuoka Prefecture, living in Kumamoto Prefecture

What made you send your manuscript to the magazine: It had been a long night…

1. What made you start writing Ai no kusabi?

I didn’t really… want to write about “pure love” in a science fiction setting (ah ah ah), because I wanted to write about an “encounter” than would not just be casual, the bonds it would create and the various feelings they would draw along.

2. Which character can you empathize with the most?

Probably Riki, as one could expect. Because, even though he has a sharp tongue and is quite mature, his way of thinking is fundamentally straight. Him running around struggling yet unable to act, because he’s caught between two feelings of different natures, makes him seductive, I like it.

3. What is your favourite scene? And what is a line you like?

My favourite, hmm… It would have to be the scene where Katze cries while stifling his voice. But I also cannot put aside the scene where Riki is kept waiting in vain in the rain by Guy… As for the lines, those would be “there’s no way I’m letting him die alone” or “you may be able to look the other way despite everything, but I… wouldn’t be worth more than trash if I did. I couldn’t go on living.”

4. Could you tell us about the creation process of the characters, like Riki and Iason? (size, weight, blood type, date of birth, etc.)

I had their personality roughly figured out, so I didn’t think about their finer characteristics, but…

Riki: Because he’s a slum mongrel, I pictured him as an almost full-grown black panther. Not frail, but slender and lithe. As for his appearance, his intelligence shines through the strength of his obstinate spirit, that’s all.

Iason: Since he’s an absolutely perfect member of the elite and the Black Market’s king, he should definitely be like the God of the Sun Apollo, but raised in the depths of the sea (or something). He’s shrewd and good-looking, incredibly proud, and wouldn’t collapse under any circumstances. Regarding his height, all things considered, he’s a head taller that Riki.

Guy: In my first draft, he was a tolerant and broad-minded herbivorous felid… that was my intention, but I wonder where and how things went wrong.

Raoul: His looks, intellect and handsomeness are on par with Iason’s. He has a sense of humour and, even more than Iason, nerves of steel.

Katze: Went from being raised in the slums to being a Furniture in Eos to being a broker on the black market. Putting aside the protagonists, he’s the one with the most dramatic life, so that’s probably why I gave him a tragic handicap, like being a scarface or being a man without manhood…

Kirie: Representing slum dwellers in their late teens, he’s overconfident and reckless. He has a very limited worldview, so he’s the most fragile yet also the most dangerous character.

5. Concerning the way you chose the characters’ names, you previously said you were “drawn to the “dragon” kanji”, were you fixated on something like that for Ai no kusabi?

This time I wanted to give them names that would fit their character, so… I gave Riki a name conveying “power” (riki is one of the few ways to read the kanji meaning “power”), I named Iason after a hero from Greek mythology, and Guy after the goddess of the Earth, Gaia, for his ability to embrace everything. But when you list them, they’re not consistent. All things considered, you could say they’re just far-fetched choices, ah ah ah…

6. Writing Ai no kusabi, what did you enjoy? What did you find difficult?

For the most of it, the story was ever changing with the characters’ feelings, so until I had reached the ending, I had fun worrying (somehow) while writing. Difficult things that would bring wrinkles to my forehead, I tend not to think too much about them.

7. A number of different types of Pet Rings appear in readers’ four-case mangas, but how do you picture them yourself?

No, well, when it comes to Riki’s, its basic image was something like Sun Wukong’s circlet. Looking at it like this makes Journey to the West quite salacious too… don’t you think?

8. Could you tell us your thoughts about the cassette adaptation?

I thought “Are you sure we can really do that?”… but when it became real, well, I mean, ah ah ah, what could I say? As you know, this work involves many human relationships, some violent lines, and it’s quite heavy on that. “How can we make all that fit in 60 minutes?” I wondered… When I heard the tape for the first time, it dawned on me that letters and voices are truly two completely different things, obviously. I wrote it, so it’s weird for me to say that, but I thought “can I really make Mr SEKI and Mr SHIOZAWA say those things?”… on the other hand, when I wondered what faces they made then, Tokyo felt so far away… So those were my thoughts. But everyone used their beautiful voice to give impassioned performances, so I’m very happy!

9. And lastly, what is June to you?

A breather between child rearing and house chores, a teatime friend… or something like that. (October 1989)

Hello!! Can I request HCs or a fic of CG!Rain & CG!Havik with Little!Reiko? (specifically toddler/babyspace...... just a small little one 🥺)

Sorry I'm requesting again hshsh, please take your time with all the requests & remember to take care of yourself! 😊

-🦈

Hi!!! Oh Darling, don't you worry about 'requesting too much' or 'requesting again', alright? I love taking requests, and I love receiving new ones. I'll make sure to take care of myself. <3

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

CG Rain & Havik w/ Babyspace Regressor Reiko Hcs

💧 I love this friendship trio <3

🫀 When they’re all big it’s “This would be fun”, “Lemme ask my Dad”, and “You idiots will be the death of me”

🗡️ But when Reiko’s tiny? “This would be super fun!!” “I wanna do it too!!” “. . . Do NOT touch that scorpion- Havik what are you thinking?!”

💧 Rain’s a killjoy because he has to be Mama Bear most times 🙄 (and make sure Havik doesn’t accidentally get Reiko hurt)

🫀 ^ Havik doesn’t necessarily get Reiko hurt on purpose, most times it is a complete accident

🗡️ Like who could run faster for ice cream? He didn’t know Reiko could fall and scrape his knee!! D: (The scorpion touching was a joke, Havik understands that Reiko could seriosuly get hurt by that)

💧 Also, if you ask Reiko, he totally didn’t cry at his knee scrapes, he was a big boy about it

🫀 . . . Ask the other two, and they’d call him a lier, but whatever 😮‍💨

🗡️ Reiko is a very energetic toddler most times, wanting to run around or play

💧 Most times, Havik will watch him while Rain ‘supervises’

🫀 He’ll let Havik and Reiko quietly giggle and talk about who they’re going to prank, or how they’re going to sneak some cookies

🗡️ By quietly, I mean Reiko’s talking kinda loudly, but Rain ‘ignores’ it because he’s giggling about it and Rain likes hearing Reiko be all happy

💧 That doesn’t mean he won’t bust them though, Reiko’s been told three times no more cookies till after dinner, and he’s not going to get his way

🫀 . . . Or until Havik does sneak some behind Rain’s back and gives one to a pouty Reiko (don’t tell Rain, he doesn’t neeeeeeed to know 👀)

🗡️ Baby Reiko is a little less energetic, but just as chaotic

💧 Rain will usually hold him, cuddling on the couch as Reiko tries to squirm so he can crawl away and go knock something over

🫀 ^ Not that Rain will let him, because he’s a big meanie >:(

🗡️ Havik will give tiny Reiko piggyback rides, and Rieko adores it

💧 Sometimes they’ll chase Rain around the castle too!! >:3 (Rain’s cool with it, it’s a game of tag basically, and Reiko wanted to be involved)

🫀 On more quieter little days, both CGs are very content with just laying and cuddling in bed, which their baby is also very happy about

🗡️ Sometimes Rain will do a magic show!! Which captures both Reiko’s and Havik’s awes

💧 Rain does have to put his foot down more than Havik does

🫀 Havik doesn’t believe in rules or punishments, why can’t they just have fun?

🗡️ Reiko likes the order Rain brings, but also the carefree Havik tries to establish (also Havik’s gotten him out of trouble a lot, and Rain’s gotten him a rule list that he does like to follow)

💧 Havik doesn’t do titles 🙄

🫀 But his main CG nickname is Dada or Bubba

🗡️ And Rain’s nickname is Fishy or Mama

💧 Rain was a bit surprised at the nickname at first, but quickly fell in love with it (Reiko only calls him it when he’s really tiny or sleepy)

🫀 Reiko gets many nicknames!! Little Heart, Rascal, Squishy, Precious, Little One, Sweetheart

🗡️ Reiko might really like to try and act independent (running away to go ‘play by himself’, insisting he can tie his own shoes or do his own coat, play with big kid toys like toy swords) but he’s also incredibly clingy, especially toddler Reiko

💧 He’ll quickly run back to Havik, claiming that he just doesn’t wanna play alone anymore and now wants cuddles, which Havik is happy to give

🫀 Or he’ll cuddle up to Rain’s side, letting Rain rant about some magic book he was studying

🗡️ ^ Havik will cuddle up too, Rain swears he has two babies on his hands 🙄

💧 Reiko’s a talker, but not a talker

🫀 He’ll rant Rain’s ears off while he tells him about what games Havik and him played, but his sentences aren’t complete, and it’s a bunch of words all jumbled together (this is mostly toddler Reiko)

🗡️ I mentioned in my Little Reiko w/ CG Rain Hcs that Reiko will scream for things he wants because he finds it funny

💧 Havik’s in full support!! Reiko’s in babyspace when he does it, Rain, he means no harm!! :D

🫀 Rain, however, likes his ear drums, but all Reiko does is giggle when he crosses his arms . . . Cutie

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Sorry about the late posts!! Realized I haven't updated my AO3 in like, a month and wanted to post there. <3
