I believe your right in that sense. Tsuzuki in my eye's is the most intriguing character next to Muraki in the series. that is what draw's me into them so much. the mysteries that they hold. Yoko Matsushita really paid close attention not to reveal much on any of the characters in her story. But some how to me Tsuzuki and Muraki's past seem the most complex. _________________ The world is only as great as your imagination. Mine is a scisofrenic perverted little monkey named Frankie!

I've been reading the discussion you three have been having and am greatly intrigued. I never thought about Enma before and having the idea anaysised like this is a real eye opener.
Though.....am I the only person who thought about the mysterious person Tsuzuki claimed to have watched die without being able to do anything to help them in book 2 when hearing him mention this forbidden love. Since there was a theme of brothers and sisters in that arc I thought Ruka could be it, but to be honest, after reading these comments, it's true, we don't know, it could be anyone, and it does stimulate the imagination to guess who.
What struck me most I think was that Tsuzuki speaks about this forbidden love in a sense that feels a little like its still there. He uses the words, "I too have expierenced forbidden love, for a long time", it sounds current to me, and not exactly over, and I would love her to bring this back up, because the Devils Trill and ST Micheals arc showed a lot of potential and promise in relation to Tsuzuki's backstory.
I think it's also important to consider that Yoko was developing the story as she went along and didn't exactly have clear cut idea's about where she wanted to go with it.
Tsuzuki being the main character just sorta *happened*, Hijiri was thrown in after not wanting to throw a prototype of Hisoka away, and she admits herself to being surprised by how Muraki just wormed he's way into the storyline and that she'd have to go into a past for him, Tatsumi didn't become a firm character until about book 5 where as before then he was simply....there and she still doesn't know when the man died or what time period. Watari's hair happens to be blond because, she doesn't know, it got bleached in the swimming pool U__U, so I mean, I think it's all game on Yoko's part from here, it could very well be, she doesn't know the answers to these questions herself, or she's still in the stage of developing them or stringing them together.
Saying that this also means that we are a strong part of the story line and we, Yoko, and the characters all grow together on the same journey which is nice in it's own way.
I absolutely LOVED this arc, and somewhere else in the forum it was mentioned that the reason Yoko was unhappy with it, was because she got a negative backlash because of the explicit yaoi. (If this is true, god help the people who picked up book 11 O.O) _________________

It is interesting that Yoko gives us a little info on Tsuzuki's past and at the same time leaves us in the dark. We know that Tsuzuki and his sister were close (maybe a little too close), but we don't know what happened to her. Tsuzuki said he had to watch the one he loves die in front of him and I think it's logical to believe that it's his sister, but we don't know for sure.
I think the best way to think about it is to consider Yoko's options, the forbidden love is either
A) someone we know or know of. Which adds greater credibility to the story because it means there were clues from the start that it was coming. The down point is, if not done well, it could mess up parts of the story already published.
Oooooor
B) someone we don't know or know of yet. Which can be good in a sense because it means she can have a fresh start and add a fresh story while using the oppotunity to tie a few loose knots together. The down point is it can drag everything out unnesscarilly and make the story seem contrived and not thoughtfully handled.
If were to go for option A we'd have to assume its someone or something to do with he's past. However that falls into two catergory's as well, is it either someone from the past who is gone:
e.g Ruka, Muraki's grandfather,
Or someone from he's past who we still know of:
e.g Enma, Tatsumi,
It is very difficult to guess. For all we know Yoko may have forgotten about it already.
If were to go for option B, I think it's safe to assume it could be:
A male, past partner, past friend when alive, maybe someone not even human themselves, or a whole array of other things. _________________

I honestly don't find that it could be his sister though. I'm really banking on it being a male that was considered to be his forbidden love. It just seems to go with the story more. Reading this arc in particular really opened the door to the subject of bigotry towards love for the same sex, especially in church. Where in many beliefs it is severally frowned upon and considered forbidden.

I think it's someone new- but someone also very familiar. Someone without a name, but just happens to be a central part of Tsuzuki's life. It hits you from left field, I think. 8D;;
*shrugs* the homosexuality thing... I dunno. I really do think I'll stick with my theory, because to Tsuzuki, I don't think gender counts. 8D; _________________ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ J ☆ I ☆ H ☆ Y ☆ E ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥

I agree somewhat with that, it was the fact Mitani's love was forbidden, not homosexual that got to Tsuzuki. Though I do think it does open up possibilities to yaoi pairings featuring in the future as Chamzy somewhat suggests, though if it is a male, I doubt it'll be because that persons a male.
So so far you both go for option B, someone new that ties the knots together. Someone that suddenly appears and suddenly all those weird parts of Tsuzuki that were totally out of the loop suddenly make sense and it's like, ahhhh, that's why he's always---, ooooh I see now, so that's why he----hmm, yeah, okay, *nods* _________________

I dunno. Since that crazy Muraki ficlet, I've just been thinking on odd ways about pairings on YnM. XD _________________ ♥ ☆ ♥ ☆ J ☆ I ☆ H ☆ Y ☆ E ☆ ♥ ☆ ♥
