Yeah, I'm just getting to where the warden is trying to split them up ... I have to say that on one level, I feel that this is a sort of really transparent sick fantasy for the mangaka, because everyone wants a piece of Sen's ass (and pretty damn literally too). It's like a deranged, ultra-violent version of the gorgeous high school girl who's transferred in from another school and gets caught up between the guys who want her and the girls who alternate between hating her and wanting to be her best friend ... you know, where the gorgeous girl is a transparent Mary Sue ... ..
But I also have to say that they are damn cute/hot together. When they finally really get together after Sword's suicide attempt, there's one point where they're just looking at each other, and that look is so overjoyed, lustful, and loving that it just about kills me.
