Free Talk: SB 下一站巨星 309

Yuki immensely praised the two girls for their action scene. They were able to do it well since they practiced together before. Kanae is also improving fast with Kyouko as her personal assistant. Well, we already know this will happen so moving on...

Lory told Ren about things going well in the shoot and specifically mentioned about the increase of people staying over the dorm provided. He kept on asking Ren if he used the place since Kanae is. But, Ren is clueless over why Lory is insisting on it. And, I feel like Lory that there’s nothing much happening = boring = time to go home with this chapter. ^^;

*○o..:*(*´-ω)(ω-`*)*:..o○*

Ren is puzzled over Lory’s goal for visiting especially since he didn’t ask about the scandal with Kana. Yashiro has to inform him that it is most likely Lory knew who Ren’s real partner is. Hehe, so basically, Lory wanted Ren to take advantage of staying there while Kyouko is there with Kanae.

But then, with Kanae there, I don’t think Ren can have any time with Kyouko and they are hiding their relationship. Well, just like what Kyouko thought, he is still chick level in romance so he didn’t realize and take the opportunity provided. And, I guess this is one reason why Lory set this all up.

So, how did Lory know? Well, he knew earlier before when Ren has some facial slip ups regarding Kyouko so I guess Ren forgot about that. He actually thought Lory will actually believe that Kana scandal. Also, that chase before in the building’s elevator, doesn’t it have a cctv? There are witnesses. Won’t he know about Ren’s necklace being replaced? ^^; Basically, Lory can know things if he wanted to especially if it is about romance. ^^

  1. Lory is a very scary person, the fact that he already knows they are dating and Kana is a cover up is unbelievable since no one has told him a thing. Well technically lory knows Ren loves Kyouko and also the other way around since he found out about it. I think it is more intuition than anything else, on Lory's side.
    Now we also know that Kyouko is sub tallent actor for the movie who had to step in for the shoot and looks like they are super happy with her performance.

    I was not sure what Ren wanted to talk about with Kyouko, and I am also worries about her character as setsu might be revealed which is not desirable. Hopefully no one knows yet that it was Ren acting as B.J. so maybe she is safe for now.

    1. With his influence and connections, I think it is easy for him to know the truth regarding the 'scandal'. I somewhat recall there is a similar incident wherein they kind of check things...wasn't that the Shou-Kyouko kiss? I mean like damage control if it is problematic, and not mind if it isn't...and well, give a bit of a push if he supports ^^

      In what way is it undesirable? I mean, wouldn't they be amazed at how she pulled it off? Or, do you mean the image about her?

      So far, I think it won't be known because Murasame wasn't able to connect the dots and he is the only one currently there who could have known about it. ^^;

    2. It is not desirable in the sense that Kyouko does not want people to know, remember it was a secret and dangerous mission.
      Well in case of Ren even Lory can't control the media I think because there are multiple people after him. Thank god he is an idiot who can't tell ^^

      By the way there is news that sensei is unwell and this month there will not be a new chapter. From what I have been reading people don't know what type of sickness it is. Apparently last month she was sick too which is why there was only 16 pages.

    3. Ah, I see. Hehe, thinking about it, if it is on the side of acting, I think it is okay since they are going to reveal who Cain is. I mean, they/insiders would be curious who was 'playing' Setsuka and she played it really well. But then, on the side of gossips, etc, it might be a bit problematic since they would wonder if all that was really acting especially if people would find out later on about their relationship.

      For me, I think Lory can control media and he has connections.

      Oh no. Hm...usually when an author gets sick in a long series, it can be bad news. Hopefully, it isn't serious.

    4. well sensei is in her 50s. I was thinking she is not that old for us to worry but then there is Covid, so I don't know.

      I think there was a scene that Kyouko looked upset and Ren told her he would protect her but I think Kyouko was worried about her feelings while Ren meant about her exposure as Setsu, thats what I was thinking.

    5. Well, I'm thinking of other possible serious illness that has hampered other mangakas. Like One Piece author had a health issue and was forced to take breaks. Others took hiatus. The worst case scenario was Nana's -- no ending after the author got sick and it was ending.

      Protect her from others about knowing Setsu's real identity?

    6. Didn't Nana's author fall down and died of head injury after she moved? I know and their jobs are hard and demanding. I hope it is not serious and she can finish the story.

      I think so, I may need to read it but if I am not mistaken Ren's impression was that Kyouko was restless because she did not want others to consider her indecent because of Setsu.

    7. No, that's a different author, the author of Itazura Kiss.

      Nana author had a serious illness and she is still alive. Unfortunately, she is still in no condition to continue the series since 2009.

      Yup, hopefully.

      Ah, I see. More on reputation due to that image.

      Delete
    8. Ah, you are right. I wish Nana's author would ask for someone's help to do the drawings with her hupervision and finish the story.

      Yup or at least that's the impression I got when I read it.

    9. Ya, I think the series can end at around 2-3 volumes. Maybe she wants to do the drafts but is unable to do so...like perhaps, to maintain the quality and consistency of the art?

      I see.

    10. New chapter is out, next one will be in February, I think we might not get monthly updates while sensei is recovering from her sickness. The quality is the same, I hope sensei recovers and remains healthy and finishes the story. I know we all know the happy ending but I really want to read the details of how sensei wants us to get there.

    11. Thanks for the info ^^ Yup.

      Hm...I don't see the English translation yet.

    12. I think it is too early, I will let you know if I see anything ^^

    1. Yes, I did browse through it. Lots of dialogue in two and 1/4 parts ^-^

      Browsing through the comment in the raws of the Chinese forum, it seems the author is going to undergo surgery. I'm not sure if it is over already though.

    2. Maybe that is why her next chapter is going to be released in February, that is a 2 month gap, I hope she gets well soon and gets us through to the finish line in her own way and not a rushed way
