Over on @anipast it’s the Ouran episode where we learn about how Kyoya and Tamaki originally meet. It’s a nice look in on the rather sad world of younger Kyoya, people commonly seeing him only for his family’s power, while he lived under the looming shadow of his brothers and his father’s expectations. Bring in Tamaki, who Kyoya’s father wants him to befriend for political reasons. What seems like a simple enough task spirals out of controls as Tamaki, well, does what Tamaki does. He asks so much of Kyoya, and Kyoya’s tendencies demand that he try to appease them, driving him mad. It escalates to a key moment where Kyoya finally snaps out of his lull, showing his true side to Tamaki. In all, it’s a great episode, and explains a lot why Kyoya continue’s to deal with the king’s crazy demands. I’m almost to the end, gonna be sad to finally wrap this up.
