 General/Shogun Convert, what Leo is cosplaying, turned out to be a role which Kuu played before. It was a major hit in US along with the Japanese dish, takoyaki (fried batter balls with octopus inside and other condiments on top) which was promoted in the show. Kanae muses that perhaps Leo wore that costume in consideration for the Japanese team. This thrilled everyone from Japan.

 Upon meeting each other, Cedric ignores Kyouko as if she didn’t exist. Kyouko is totally shocked by this because it is the first time someone reacted like that. Cedric only paid attention to her when Mr. D called out to her. While Kyouko wondered how to answer him when he asked if she is also a ‘member’ [of the project], Mr. D tell her that he knew about the project and starts to introduce Cedric to her.

This chapter can actually be an introduction or chapter 1 of a totally different shoujo manga. ^^; It will go like this, main character looks exhausted as she returns to her workplace. The lady boss asks how come she took a while to do the errand. Was the grocery too far away? Main character says no but actually, it’s this...

 [313] Kyouko and others have arrived at the US airport. Kyouko is totally moved upon seeing a LED billboard advertisement of Juliena, Ren’s mother. She muttered out fairy which Yashiro overheard. Yashiro comments that Juliena’s looks are indeed extraordinary. Out of curiosity, Kyouko wanted to know who Kuu’s wife so she checked out her movie. That is how she came to know who Juliena is. She also noticed that Juliena’s eyes are the same with Corn’s so perhaps, she is his mother.

 Kyouko and Kanae are doing some practice exercises. Kanae is impressed that Kyouko is still full of energy and without a sweat after the training. Hehe, well, that shouldn’t be a surprise for us readers since she can even chase after a car by just using a bicycle. Well, if ever there will be trouble in the US or the future, I get a feeling that Kyouko will be immensely helpful.

Inside the room, Ren clarifies that he isn’t puzzled with Lory knowing but more on how did Yashiro knows that Lory knew.

This seems like an epilogue-ish arc wherein everyone who needs to make an appearance is making one to put a closure for everyone. Tetsuki’s dad look so young. The exchanging of gratitude for Tetsuki’s role in Tokize and Chika’s life is quite nice.

 Upon seeing Kyouko in costume, Kanae comments that she is surprised since it unexpectedly suits Kyouko. Kyouko thought that if she added a lip ring, she’ll be Setsuka. Yashiro compliments Kyouko and looks at Ren to comment. After a pause, Ren says that it is quite unexpected. Kyouko wonders about that pause.

Free talk: Regarding Missing Kurosaki-kun Posts

A few weeks ago, I got a copyright notice regarding some of the Kurosaki kun no Iinari ni Nante Naranai posts especially the ones near the last chapter. So, just like what I did with the other series, I changed the title to Chinese with the shortcut name of the series. Unfortunately, it didn't work this time.

In the prelims, I don’t recall them practicing before the performance but here, they do. In a way, there is a pro and con. The pro is getting to feel the stage and make adjustments but it can really affect one’s psyche if the one performing before you are really, really good.

 This series is really a feel good series wherein everyone isn’t innately bad and they do change for the better. Wow, grandma Doujima is being supportive that she’s going with her grandchildren to the Nationals. She is even concerned about Tokise especially Chika regarding the rumors.
