The answer is simple…I’ve didn’t found it yet I saw only few pictures ^^ As soon as I find entire chapters I will of course add it here. Thank you for visiting my blog. Take care!
Can I know how to read mangas here? Im having a hard time finding it here!PLEASEEEEEE!
I also need desperately help!
I don’t understand where I should press to read the manga!!
(If you know now could you tell me plss??)
I have a question.. I’m like a little confused but does Kou still like Natsume? Whenever they’re happy, something bad is bound to happen T.T This manga can really pull you in the story and become as a character. Its so strong and alluring!! Thank you for the raw chapters!! Bookmarked this site!!^_^
Hi! For me he still like her 😉 Soon will come a new chapter. I hope that this time George Asakura will explain a few things ^^
Twitter profile of George Asakura:

Omg thank you!! I feel so relieved now!!!:D Thank you so much!!^_^
I’m so afraid that they will separate again! I hope not
They seemed so happy together!
Can’t wait for the next chapter. I hope we will see more KouxNatsume scenes ^^
OMG! Chapter 54 is so sweet! <3
I know it
When I first time saw some picture of this chapter on the Korean blog, I thought, I must see more. Unfortunately, I could nowhere find a whole chapter. Who knows? Maybe only here you can find it ^^
como puedo leer el manga.?? estoy muriendo
omg finally! thank you very much!
The 17th volume will be the last. So we have to wait for at least 2 chapters from now on. Can’t wait for the final. I wish for a happy ending ! ^^
But it’s impossible to predict, regarding chapter 63 :s
(Sorry for my poor english, I’m from Belgium so I speak French normally :p )
Come one
Your English is really, really good ^^ No one will criticize you, especially me, because I don’t know English very well ( I had German in school 😉
Me too…I also look forward to a happy ending
may i know what website your reading it from cause I only read up to chapter 40
Thank you sooo much for providing us with raws! Oboreru knife is my favourite manga as well, so it’s nice to know that it’s appreciated by others as well. Although I like that it’s not a mainstream manga, but I wish it would get a bit more attention scanlation-wise.
But nevertheless, you’re a goddes for updating it so fast.
Are you sad as well, that it’s over?
Hi! I’m really, really sad and unsatisfied, because I feel that George Asakura want quickly end this series, because recent events were happening very, very fast and you could get lost. Episode with Otomo was too long for me. I missed too romantic moments between Kou and Natsume.
In conclusion, I give this manga high note, because it really pulled me. It was something mystery there ( I think that author is really crazy, but I like her style :D)The story was interesting and characters brilliant. I hope that next series will be as good as Oboreru Knife.
ah, I forget to say, that she have already another series, but this time it is josei.”Meoto Safari” – did you heard about this ?
Yes, I feel you there. We really didnt get any nice Kou-Natsume moments, but thruthfully, for me Kou was always this ‘wild’ boy, who you cannot break in, and even when they were going out in the beginning, there weren’t a lot of sweet scenes, and you could even wonder if Kou actually liked Natsume (well, I too would have been put off if my girlfriend had compared me to a God). I get the feeling that this was resolved, because Kou’s salvation was Natsume all along (of I got this right), but I wonder how they managed to spend time together after the end, when Natsume is working in Tokyo. I hope there will be at least an extra about this. Oh and Asakura could include Ootomo in that, i still feel sorry for him, and I would like a scene where he is shown happy and already moved on.
I already put Meoto Safari on my wish list,but I know nothing about the series :/ Would be great if a group picked it up :P.
Once, I found Korean blog, where was few pictures. It’s the same blog to which I gave links on Mangafox long time ago:
http://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=oboreru&logNo=70147617073
but I’m not sure, if they still working, because pictures with Oboreru Knife was delete
Now, there is 1-2 pictures and spoiler. Second problem is finding them there. Ah, I remember that I wasted some time :/
I agree with you. In the beginning their relationship was strange. She haven’t seen him as a boy, but as a god and he…to be honest I think that is hard to say, what was his first impression.
I think that he felt the pressures, because it’s not easy to become a god 😛 Everyone said, that he was special, but he wasn’t. I mean he haven’t got magical powers. His power was love to girl. This feeling
motivated him.
I will be very happy, when George Asakura tell us more about their future, because for me, this manga should have been continuing
Chapter 64 was beautiful!! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to read it!! Thanks so much!! Kou and Natsume are meant to be!!<3
How could I not share with you the last chapter ? It was a pleasure 😉
I am very grateful to all those who together with me tracked these series. I hope that my work was helpful to you ^^
Now all we have to wait for English translation 😀
HELLO JAY , I HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE LAST PAGE OF THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE MANGA !!
NATSUME IN END GOT MARRIAGE OF A NORMAL MAN ? OR WHAT !! TT____TT IT’S NOT KOU !!! WHY I WANT TO CRY REALLY !!!!!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
Oh my, oh my… thank you so much!

Me too..
No problem
I was just wondering why you don’t upload more mangas from George Asakura.
because Oboreru Knife is my favourite one
I read her other works and I have mixed feelings.
And what you can recommend ?
Even though it’s not her best work I’d would be really happy if you upload “Teke Teke Rendezvous”
I really want to know who she’s going to end up with
I understand you, but I don’t have it
really that sucks
Anyway thank you for replying and uploading lots of mangas. This is one of my favorite manga sites:)
Thanks

Thanks for info
Unfortunately, I don’t know :/
this manga has got me craving for more. every chapter made my heart beat fast and made my hands shake because i coudlnt wait to see the next chapter. i kept reading and reading and i just couldnt stop this manga is so good. i keep wondering what kou chan was really thinking,i keep thinking to myself what does he want ? what the hell does he want to achieve? what is her true feeling for natsume? what is it? why is he doing this and that? i need answers! and for every chapter nothing gave an answer. nothing. in the end i still keep asking why? why did it take 17?years to marry natsume? did he really love her? whhat took him so long ? like oh my god days have passed since i finished reading this manga and i still couldnt find answers. i kept searching online, i kept reading ppl’s blogs about what they think about this manga, i searched twitter. nothing answers my questions. it’s really bothering me. this is the first time a manga has bugged me so much.i dont feel refereshed after reading the manga it just made it more confusing to me.
Kou does love Natsume and has loved her since day 1. The author likes to make Kou’s emotions expressed subtly but the answers are there. Kou never exposes what he really feels- he does it verbally like once or twice. Natsume never finds out the true reason he was crying when they are first attacked by that guy, she didn’t understand the extent of Kou’s baggage or his concern for her because he never says it. In one of the later chapters when Natsume sees Kou all bruised up she assumes he’d been in a fight again, but Kou was just being mobbed and he was passive. He never tells her anything… if anything he tells her the opposite of what he actually feels, or just the surface of it and you have to understand the true intention from subtle air and mannerism. Kou and Natsume are both very special people, they have charisma and they both are attracted to charisma. In the beginning of the series Kou makes it obvious to Natsume that he wants her to have her own mind, and this is essentially what he wants for himself. Natsume displayed her affection for Kou more, but deep down, she was disappointed in him when she saw him cry. Kou doesn’t put it on display, on the surface he says harsh things, but he does this because he wants her to shine as she should. They are alike, yet they contrast each other. Even when she was with Otomo (which I agree with the owner of this site that it went on way too long) every important scene just showed the unbreakable bond between Kou and Natsume that they don’t even realize they have. It would take way too long breaking down everything, but the bottom line is, the two of them are meant to be together- and because of this they can’t always be together, you have to be your own person before you can truly be with another, and they are constantly discovering themselves. So the series wants to end without a real end, because every end is a new beginning. I think the last page is just to give readers the assurance that they do end up together, although it seems for a lot of people it just added more non-closure because of the huge time gap. I don’t think the author is omnipotent and did a perfect job of expressing her intent, but she is damn talented and created a great series. I’m not satisfied with the flow of the last few volumes but I do still love the series.
Wait! Did kou and natsume ended up together?
I didn’t quite understand the ending ?
eternalpublic, thank u so much for translating! raff, thank u for providing the raws (even though i bought the tankoubon as soon as kinokuniya stocked it)! ugh, such a beautiful end to such an amazing series. i am really glad kou x natsume were endgame. they just have this inexplicable chemistry that is so unlike anything i’ve ever read. i’m really sad the series started dragging toward the middle and took away from the main story (with both kana and the cousin’s storyline), but then it picked right up again and it was pure gold. george asakura really weaved her magic with oboreru knife. we finally know now that kou has been in love with natsume ever since he first laid eyes on her – he was just a very troubled kid with the weight of the world on his shoulders. eternalpublic, i really cannot thank you enough. i’ve always wanted to know what kou whispered into natsume’s ear all those chapters ago… “i’m sorry” ughhhhh forever a fave! THANK YOU!!!
reread it and more carefully
I read it 10 times or more and still a little bit confused
I still don’t understand, so they marry late does it mean they were married to other people or were without each other for such a long time. Did they have children or living together. I don’t understand why it took such a long time, I mean they don’t have other reasons to be apart. Ok it takes finish school and university, but after that what ? Does it mean Natsume is ok beeing apart for so long or Kou. I can not understand.
I think what escapes the attention of a lot of you is that if you look closely Kou was special not only because of his charisma. The story took points of view of everyone except Kou actually. And if you connect the dots it shows clearly Kou was a wise kid, an intelligent teenager, deep in touch with his own feelings and mind, but hopless to what life got for him. He was actually… the most mentaly sensitive character out of all. I think… the manga was not a love story of Natsume and Kou, but actually about Kou, because admitt it or not, even Natsume didn’t developed as much as his character. Actually she didn’t change much except acknowledging a couple of things. And Kou? @ETERNALPUBLIC caught his character well in her comment, which gives a point to my theory about him being the speed of the story, the main ingredient. He was… THE MIRROR. Everything dark the characters felt was somehow related to his state of mind… a catalyst, sponge soking in thoughts and darkness of others.
That’s the god-like quality, the mystery of the boy.
Yeah it does seem the subtleties escape a lot of people but I guess it can’t be helped. I agree with what you said about Kou. I did’t mean that his charisma is a stand alone quality though, charisma is always a result of something of weight in character and thought. I agree Kou is the most special person in the story but Natsume goes through character development of her own. I think her sensitivity is a little different from Kou’s– they are both selfish in different ways and selfless in different ways. Kou has the deeper thought, but the fact that Natsume is relentlessly attracted to that means she has that trait within herself. This is where the Natsume/Kana contrast comes in, but that’s a whole another discussion. Anyway, Kou is in touch with his feelings, but at the same time, he is unable to face them. Natsume before the incident faced lighter challenges and Kou always wanted her to know what she wants for herself.. after the incident the issues became much worse just like Kou’s life, which Natsume repeatedly describes as a curse- which Kou’s baggage could be claimed the same- you could say the incident brought them closer by nature while separating them by circumstance. They struggle with the dynamic a great deal, Natsume suffers from being unable to face what happened and what she potentially lost. Eventually she tries to (with Otomo’s help), Kou sees that she begins to face the problem, and is at once attracted to and is repelled by that display. Kou is for sure the main character– his presence is unwavering– it’s almost as if Natsume is the physical main character and Kou is the spiritual main character. They are one and the same, but entirely different. The love between them goes beyond the conventional sense of love.. the conventional is what Natsume and Otomo had together. She wasn’t fated for that kind of love and neither was Kou. They are bound by something beyond what they can understand, because their feelings are always moved by the same. The author takes a lot of clues from the literature she has quoted and mentioned in the series… Goethe of course, and also philosophers like Kant, Camus, etc. She weaves the ideas well but I think the execution of the final conclusion could’ve been better. She spread the story too wide and kind of failed to close everything she had opened. But the flow of the end still was beautiful.
Hey Raff. I just did the translations for chapters 57 and 58 and noticed you are missing a couple of pages at the very end of chapter 58. It’s not the biggest deal but just to let you know.
Could you pleeease update more raws of George Asakuras works? I just love her artstyle. Its soooo beautiful and her confusing way to tell stories is just awesome!
Hello everybody and specially Raff. This is my first time to write something in your blog. Before I will start I’m from Arab that is why my English it is not good at all, so I’m sorry for my bad English and I hope will understand what I’m going to write now.

I noticed that this manga is the one I’ve read years ago but it wasn’t finished so I dropped it for a while. But since it had such a nice plot I wanted to pick it up again and see if it ended already and now it seems like it ended but I have no clue where I can read it :/
I saw some links below the comments that u can read it there if you are a member but I can’t register and I’m really curious about the ending. Today I re-read some chapters with eng translations and the last one I’ve read was about otomo (the name of the other boy I think) dating the protagonist while she also works as an actresss for a drama. I really want to read all those last chapters hope somebody can help me. But I don’t know if somebody can help me since I’m heck late and it’s 2018 AND probably everyone read it when the links where available QQ
