2nd time? When was there a 2nd time?

Chapter 186.. When director came to ask about Ren and Cain Heel situation.

Woah. Ok. So it took me several tries to understand this. What with the mangaka sidetracking me with all the blatant fanservice. It actually took a lot of courage to open this chapter up. The previos one had me rolling on the floor screaming hysterically by the third page. But now after my...what, fifth reading? Something like that...there was a loooot of confusion...anyway, now I'm quite satisfied. Because although outloud, Kyoko is saying niisan, in her head she is saying Tsuruga-san. Everything that she is doing now is in the hopes that it will help Tsuruga in his internal struggle, not Cain! She is giving Tsuruga fanservice! And when she tells herself that she's doing it to prevent him falling to her level, it just shows how much she loves him, how much she has grown beyond the girl who would do nothing unless she was getting points or for self satisfaction, and how much she still has to grow. Later on, like after the midpoint, I wonder whether all the contact was necessary, but I'm glad that it happened because I think that Ren will have a greater reason to hope and to fight. The. End.

the chapter was awesome! but....





really, is it going to end like this?! what is Kyouko thinking or rather is she thinking at all? and Ren is looking at her with such an expression, just lying and not doing anything... stops he Kyouko or not, she might regret about her actions.



i only hope their relationship won't ruin, but improve.

Okay... seems like I'm the only one who didn't end being all happy and/or drooly.



The beginning of it repeated the previous chapter (it took me time to understand that XD) and it was used to add things that weren't seen in 194. Or to be more correct, you suddenly see her thoughts in those few moments.



Reמ was freed? I can't see when the hell he was freed! He looked in some point more evil, and I'm pretty sure it's the point when he meant to be free. How can I believe his problems were solved or there was any progress at all?! It doen't even look like a temporary solution!



Both of them didnt sound or act like themselves. Kyoko sounded too sexy even though she said "(If Tsuruga-san can leave a part of him while playing) I can leave a part of Kyoko too!" (When she founds his watch). So where the hell did it go? Where the "oh, I'm pure Japanese girl, and nothing can change it" behavior went to?!

Ren as well. Even if it should be like Kuon, who isn't really like Ren. He suddenly admitting he's loving her? Where the "I mustn't be happy" went to? (He said it ocne to Kyoko indirectly. and Kyoko is the one who said his meaning directly). And I really didn't like his drawing after the "change".



Shortly, for me it feels 100% fan service, and 0% having anything to with the plot. I can't believe I waited a whole month for THAT. Hope next chapter they'll come back to the main line.

You're not alone about that part. I was thinking exact same thing while reading this chapter, as well as when she entered in the bath without any problem. No matter how much you're in the role, that sound ridiculous, a completely split personality. I said same thing in last discussion and i think it had nothing to with acting role. Not to mention she's doing it without written script otherwise i would've thought it's part of her job. Also she was totally conscious about reality. What if Ren take things to another level (which is obviously not going to happen as it's shoujo manga) but in reality that's most probably bound to happen and then what she will do? Also there will be question again, can she do anything as long as she's in her role.



Also i agree the chapter was full of fanservice and if this whole dark Ren situation come back after a while then yes, no progress in the plot, BUT if he can break the shackles completely because of this situation then it's fine with me. At-least he will come out and try to get Kyouko and won't go in the dark mode while thinking "I mustn't be happy" etc.

I thought they were joking around after Ren was freed so I was laughing until I realized they weren't joking. The chapter was good though; can't wait for the next XD

NOOOO WHY DOES THE CHAPTER HAS TO END WHEN THINGS ARE STARTING TO GET INTERESTING!:(



ok enough with my complains... Anyway this chapter is really good because we get to see Ren's hot and sexy abs! This is why i love fan service! Bless the mangaka ! :3

I really don't like MangaPanda's translation.   it's really difficult to get what meaning of the dialogue.   I really hope someone else picks this series up.

Woah that was rather sensual. Props to the mangaka for being able to portray such feelings across. Don't know how I should really feel about it though since they're in sibling mode -_-

Before I start my post, let me first wipe away the drool





Seriously. This is probably most excited I've been about this series in years.its finally heading in a solid direction. If she backtracks at this point, I won't know what to do tbh.



I was really hopping to get to the together arch so we can get cute adjustment couple from Kyoko. Honestly, this raging single is getting über old. While the manga as a whole isn't slow, reading it month to month definitely is.



I mean, we spent almost a year at Christmas ^^ never mind that since last year, we have been in roughly the same week?



I have a feeling though that this will be passed off by both characters as Kyoko acting in character, seeing as how she technically hasn't broken it by calling him nisan.   



I almost died at this chapter. Really I did. Rin is showing tremendous character development.



Can't wait until next year!

the best chapter EVEEER!!! just loved it <3 xDDD

Wow...that was Awesome!!! Wonder what Kyoko is thinking seeing as he's back to normal yet she's still going. Can't wait til the next chapter comes out!!!
