Re: Saiyuki, Koumyou/Ukoku, voyeurism and/or exhibitionism, what the moon saw
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Stories in which Koumyou and Ukoku are lovers are fun but that's pretty much all anyone writes, as far as I can tell, and I don't really see canon Koumyou that way.
All the other canon touches are of course deliberate, though I find writing Koumyou to be indirect and wise and foolish at the same time very dificult. Ukoku probably interprets Koumyou's uninvolvement as merely playing hard to get and will redouble his efforts.
