It’s kind of funny but when I reread this chapter, this question suddenly popped up in my head. It’s probably one of those things we only notice as adults?
In the next pages we see Kuon breaking free of his own mental prison while Kyoko’s image as a child seems to shatter.
I think it’s another symbolic display of his emotional change, likely at this point Kuon stopped treating Kyoko as the child in his memory but as a more grown up person.
The question remains whether it’s due to her kiss of salvation (?) or because of… Just a thought
Guys, I just read chapter 280, and oh boy are we in for a hell of a ride. Because of the arrrival of a certain character, the whole story is about to take a big turn. DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!!
Okay another detail that is kind of surprising is that julie is also a fairytale fanatic like Kyoko.
It’s kind of nice that they would get along but was it really necessary? But that also explains how that whole concept of ‘Corn’ come into place.
Julie filled Koun mind with all those fairytales and when he met kyoko, he was easily able to come up with a pseudo story because of Julie. And Kyoko is a japanese like Kuon’s father, so it seems like fate that they had to meet and get together if you dig deep into it.
I am not saying it’s a bad thing that Julie also likes fairytales but Kyoko’s truly believes fairies/magic are real and I don’t think I would be able to take it if there is another person like that in the series.
So both of Ren’s parents eat a lot? Isn’t that too much of coincidence to find the person who eats as much as you. Don’t tell me they fell in love with each other because of that?
Second Juliena is a model and older and she looks like a young woman here, not her age which makes one assume that she is Ren’s older cousin or something.
Even though I am happy she is not some past lover or someone who would cause misunderstandings between them, I am not liking her character design so far. It doesn’t match her age and supposed personality.
On the other hand, if Julie is here, it’s kind of good because it means plot is moving further as Julie would surely try to seek out Koun and perhaps Kyoko would end up finding too.
Kyoko almost realized that the character of Tsuruga Ren is Shady af. What she doesn’t know that he has at least two more identities up his sleeves as Kuon and Corn.
