The mangaka must be building up the pressure somehow. The white day gift will be a trigger to a soft expression which will be suitable for a romantic scene. Right now her having a look of total desperation is perfect for Momiji secretly in love with the ronin. I just hope it helps her out in the next test.
The manga is indeed really good, just need patience :P
you definitely nailed it cinammon san. the momiji project will lead her to the most difficult challenge to her as a actress...that is to fall i love (well, excluding the unconventional and unrequited love she had for mouko san ;->) well, that would mean more waiting for us... patience it is!
Yes and her misunderstanding about Kimiko is unlikely to go away soon. She cannot talk about it with anyone except with Ren himself while being the chicken Bo.
I feel that her desperation will lead her to have the same heartbroken and teary face that she had when Lory asked her if she could give Ren her blessing if he falls for another girl. Something intense enough to break the barriers of conventional acting.
This arc will really require her to look deep within her heart this time since the main theme for Momiji is love. Can't wait for more!
after two months, i was expecting that the much awaited white day gift will be given, then this happened!!!!!!! gaaahhhh! i know it hurts but, HOLD IT KYOKO CHAN!!!! im soooo excited how she will get out of that mess... indeed, good manga needs twists like this. afterall, SH*T HAPPENS!
