Your guess or explanation is make sense~~ I'm so curious too about the relationship between Satomi Rio and Shino especially based on how Rio's acts towards Shino and the fact in the anime they have already met when Shino was a little kid while singing a song~~ Shino is under Rio's protection~
And it's really nice to see the relationship between both of them, it's like brotherly~~ and in my opinion Rio's acted really like brother and somewhat he gives me a father figured sense too towards Shino hahaha....
Ah well, really hope this manga will update soon~~
Actually, a lot of possibilities are coming into my mind. This story really make me crave for more.. But the translated updates are so slow.
Also it was subtly mentioned that Shino and Rio do not have the same father.
And it was proven that Rio is Shino's half brother. So maybe they are the reincarnation of Tamazusa's sons. :>
I have read a very accurate article about them from a trusted source.. it is true that Shino and Rio are half brothers with the same mother- Tamazusa.
im very curious how it happened, though.
According to the story, before Shino, his mother suffered from countless miscarriage thus making her pregnancy with Shino very sensitive and dangerous. And because of countless miscarriage her womb became very weak it affected the baby thus ended up being the sickly Shino that we know.
Shino's chronic illness seems to be inborn. Theyre really just like the previous Tamazusa's sons. i wonder how Tamazusa regained her memories of past life? Something like reawakened?
Or maybe she had became a god of some sort?
Afterall her story was called a legend (=・ω・=)
Well.. I guess, Satomi and Shino was Tamazusa's reincarnated son after all.. Even though, the story still doesn't mention the mother of these two. I got a feeling that these two has same mother. Since, Tamazusa has an unexplainable interest on both of them. She wanted Shino to became his youngest son's soul vessel and come to think of it, Shino was used to be a very sickly person who has a chronic illness before he was murdered. Apparently, Satomi often acted as Shino's older brother, as he kept on saying that it's his duty to Shino afterall.
And Satomi's overprotective to Shino when it comes to his memory about their mother. Like feeling of hatred to Tamazusa, and coz of that he sealed Shino's memory. Bet Satomi remembers it very well but he didn't want Shino to remember those. And there's more, 18 years old Shino look a lot like Satomi at close up look, minus the color of his hair and eyes, even though Shino look like a girl version though.
On that legend story, Tamazusa has two sons. After leaving the country, they come to the Imperial Capital, but she can't brought two to enter there, she needs a sacrifice so after an agonizing decision she chose the youngest one who is a sickly one thinking his son won't survive with it's condition at all. despite of his son crying to be with them. And so, the youngest one was killed.
Later on, the older son found out what happened and got mad at their mother, and so because of that he killed himself too. Tamazusa got devastated and furious losing his both sons and decided to get revenge to the people of Imperial Capital who was the reason why she lost her both sons and revive her two sons, and so the legend happens.
