RenAi entered the port

Before we begin, I'll clarify that I'm not a Taro hater and I don't deny that he was the sunshine in Ai's life, but Ai's feelings for Taro are not romantic

Let's clarify that the development of Ren and Ai's relationship began in Chapter 19 and reached its peak in Chapter 32. And the peak was not "We are just traumatized sisters and must go our separate ways", no, Ai finally drank Ren's blood, stopping protecting Ren from her "animal" feelings. That is, they temporarily part as an active couple with the goal of meeting after Ren's training ends, to be equal partners.

Taro appears in Chapter 29 and leaves forever in Chapter 41. Which is only one chapter less than the "main" story of Ai and Ren, but since Ai and Ren were with us absolutely the entire manga, and Taro does not exist before Chapter 29, and after Chapter 41, at most, he is remembered (and not often), the difference is noticeable. As was said at the beginning of his arc, this moment flew by in the blink of an eye

In Chapter 34, Taro also confessed his sympathy to Ai, which Ai understood, but instead of a direct answer, she decided that smelling her sister's ribbon was more important + she told Taro that she drank the blood of a "specific person". And this, by the way, is also an indicator. In Chapter 38, Ai directly says that she did not want Taro's blood. But in Chapter 40, she happily drinks the blood of Ren, who finally returned.

Also, Taro's death leads to Ai's hysteria not because of Taro's death, but because Ren will also die one day. Yes, Ai is sad about Taro too, but the epicenter of the explosion was still the sleeping Ren. In these same chapters, Ai says that Ren is her love, it was Ren who filled the void in her heart.

In Chapter 32, Ren doesn't just ask Ai to bite her, Ren wants an equal relationship, she wants to share Ai's sorrows and joys, which she learned before this chapter. Ren also tells Kaname that after Taro's death, she took care of Ai, but it's unlikely that during the 60 years of life with Taro, Ren simply forgot about her sister, lol.

I'll also say about the cover of Volume 9. It's indicative. If you look at the trio of Yuuki Kaname and Zero, Yuuki physically interacts with both. Ai and Ren hug while Taro leaves, since their destinies crossed with Ai only for a short moment. And the word RenAi (恋愛) is translated as "They meet". So Taro and his relative were clearly added by Hino too late for normal competition and are only needed to create experiences in the fandom. In general, I find it ironic that AiTaro is often shipped by Yume shippers, who also say that Ai needs to outgrow incest, and RenAi is simply accused of toxicity, although in comparison to Zero and Kaname, they are both very comfortable. Even Ai's impulses to cells and sleep are very short-term and safe.

Genuine question:

Why the hell was taro introduced

I wish it was aitaro, instead of renai

Kuran girls with their incest(yume( distant relatives(they still have a certain degree of relation,I'm pointing this out as a fact and not in any contempt whatsoever ) and renai (half siblings with Ai wishing ren to be her bloodbank (even before she was born, that was creepy af))

Feel free to share your opinions vk readers

I'm tempted to make some very bad jokes about Ai's familiar being a horse, but I'll keep them to myself. I just want to say that Taro should not put the cart before the horse and be reckless, he needs to hold his horses, all this unspoken sexual tension is enough to choke a horse ok, ok I stop.
