Wow. In the manga the kiss somehow comes even more out of the blue than in the anime. I never really got a romance vibe between the 2, more like a close sibling thing.
In a way the kiss reminded me of Misato's kiss to Shinji in End of Evangelion.
I agree with both of these statements, that was completely out of nowhere. Like maybe later in the manga if Raki gets bigger and stronger (and older too) then it woulda been good, but it came out of nowhere right now. Maybe Clare just knew it would snap him out of it lol, I don't want this to turn into a romance though.
