As for Atae who knows?<br /><br />Read chapter 95 she wants to end what her mothers couldn't! She also wants to win the trust of her Sister Iku and Kingo back that's why she undertakes this gamble! Give them a second chance so to speak and as Iku advised her communicate and help them! And at the end I think just like with Izana the story will conclude where her acting began? <br /><br />Yup we already had enough tragedies their life isn't theater that's why she must make sure that things don't turn out tragic again!<br /><br />Well one of her weaknesses as Uno noted is that she stayed in her roles that's why she must say proper goodbye to Neena. Therefore she must reappear as Kasane and sort out her feelings! One of the themes in Kasane is also Infatuation vs Love and even Replacements!

I'm basing it on looks so I tho...Haha, she is!? I'm basing it on looks so I thought it is like Kasane and Nogiku...perhaps, a half-sister? I see...so maybe, they can still get it back somehow. Hm...so Atae had become bankrupt since that time? In cases like that, I'm not too sure if they can still get the money stashed in banks. <br /><br />You think so? I'm thinking that she might want to 'finish her mission' for everyone to have closure then just disappear/suicide. She was okay with Nogiku killing her. She even said that even if Nogiku isn't interested in killing her anymore, but... It seems like she wants something to be done to her to 'end everything'. <br /><br />But then, it would be nice if they all make it alive and happy. ^^<br /><br />Ah, that would be nice. So, yes, most likely fix all the things she had caused trouble with because of her existence and say sayonara. That is the feel I get from her. But of course, the others might intervene.

I just choose stepaunt because of the cinderella reference and well Kasane is adopted!^^ The money should be rightfully Kasane's when she come's of age but she's been missing since then! <br /><br />I don't think she wants to die anymore! She's through with commiting inner suicide! She wants to reunite with Iku on stage (that was her original wish back then) but as Kasane! Iku has shown her the way that's why Kasane hugs Kingo and gives Nogiku info about her real mother! Is her sky full of stars? No not yet! But there is more than just one star (Iku) and those are her sister and her fatherfigure whom she finally takes care of (communicates)! Potential ones could be Fujihara heck even Seki her bully from school who learned her lesson! And yes Neena could've been a potential one...<br /><br />As for Nobuhiko if he is a stand in for Konstantin from The Seagull then yes she must make sure he lives and moves on and Neena's parents who drifted apart because of what she and Kingo did before saying goodbye to Neena one last time!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-38898676341459120652018-06-04T18:25:05.460+08:002018-06-04T18:25:05.460+08:00Haha, I see.

Read the chapters after Kasane cuts all tie's with Iku! Well Kingo helped Kasane with Neena's parents what's stopping him from working on another script!^^Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-80220676285968967402018-06-02T21:29:52.142+08:002018-06-02T21:29:52.142+08:00Haha, I see.

I always assumed that he is from Atae's side since Sugeyo doesn't seem to have a family looking for her. True but then, how would they get it? Maybe Kingo will help them with that?

C. Escher^^<br /><br />Chapters are being realeased right now however!<br /><br />That alone I believe wasn't the only reason he became a teacher but his student's made him remember his painful past and the people who kept him going (his family or friends) either left or are long gone...<br /><br />One of the main themes of Kasane is that people judge too fast too quick and end up paying for it! They tend to think in absolutes and this is bad in the long run! <br /><br />Her aunt will make an appearance she definetly is a villain that must be confronted. I wanna see how her actions or inactions were instrumental in the death of both her sister and Izana. As for the money well Kasane now knows that it was meant for her and her little sister so yeah she has a lot of work to do!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-14907058220919528902018-06-01T23:41:33.956+08:002018-06-01T23:41:33.956+08:00Okay.

I tend to be wary of hiatus/long breaks since at times, the mangaka just gave up on it = no ending. And, I tend to give up on manga that have long breaks. ^^;; <br /><br />Hm...well, isn't wanting to bully others for revenge = goal to keep on going? <br /><br />I see. <br /><br />Yes. He drove Izana and Kasane away after learning about the secret. Then, replaced her with Sugeyo. <br /><br />By the way, do you think that mean aunt of Kasane will still make an appearance? Somehow, I'm hoping that the daughters can still get the money/inheritance.

Even with all the hiatus the manga is still worth it!<br /><br />If Kasane is Iku's Hamlet then yeah!^^<br /><br />Yes but something must have kept him going in all this he had no lipstick to escape!<br /><br />Keep in mind we only see Kingo's side of the story combined with Izana's letter's! Nagi already investigated her Nogiku read his diary Kingo's poor choice of words made him come to this sort of conclusion! And Nagi's own fault is that he didn't ask Kingo who Izana really is!<br /><br />That we must find out! Well his mind did go into fiction land watched to much theater!^^ He wanted his fix like a drug addict! And didn't Izana have a child?Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-11522390656966389812018-05-31T23:15:24.039+08:002018-05-31T23:15:24.039+08:00Ah...I see. I only saw the part wherein he is with...Ah...I see. I only saw the part wherein he is with this fairy then got on a ride with an old man and a girl in a carriage. Having some weird dream over a girl. Then, the old man and girl were killed by monsters. And, the second episode seems to be about some knights after him. <br /><br />Haha, I don't get it. It is a bit too gory, too and I don't quite like the animation. Unfortunately, didn't have time to continue on. I'm not inclined to since I heard that the mangaka is in long breaks in between chapters. <br /><br />Haha, true. We'll just wait and see. <br /><br />Oh. I think he had a bad impression towards EVERYBODY prior to meeting Nogiku. <br /><br />He didn't seem to be convincing her to do it. I think she wanted to do it since he won't love her and for her sin. But of course, he isn't going to stop it. I assumed that being the kind of clueless guy he is, he didn't realize what Kingo feels for Izana. ^^;; <br /><br />Lied to her about what? Haha, now that I think of it, how did he convince her to come back after how he treated her upon knowing her real appearance? <br /><br />Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625412560484783992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-35506209550658863882018-05-31T00:33:19.356+08:002018-05-31T00:33:19.356+08:00Well it's about time she return's!
Yup su...Well it's about time she return's!<br /><br />Yup superstition in japan!<br /><br />First comes what he does after the prologue then comes the prologue and then story continues... and then comes a prologue before he meets the band of the hawk and explains Guts behaviour to Puck in the beginning!!! Good Lord it's messed up! But my favourite moment is Guts last moment with Jill definetly worth it!<br /><br />I see! Well our minds have a way with memories (Cloud & Tifa from FFVII^^) she might not remember her until she visits the school again I suppose... and Nogiku I think will remember a certain scene in chapter 28 in a differnt light... finger's crossed^^<br /><br />Yeah but I'm talking about people he met before in his life!<br /><br />Well I can't get rid of my suspicions with Nagi faking it and trying to convice Izana into suicide especially when he asked Kingo: "...Kingo, in the end, what kind of existence is she in your heart?" but I like the ambiguity in this. As for Atae he probably lied to Izana about Sugeyo in order to get her back and/or believed what Sugeyo told him!

Ah, I onl...Haha...okay. <br /><br />Lol...black widow-types?<br /><br />Ah, I only watched a bit of Berserk...and got all confused...apparently, there was a prologue. ^^;; <br /><br />I see. Though, arts festival, from all I have read, there are no joint effort. At most, it is just invitation/if other schools buy tickets to get in. Still, Kasane appeared there as herself so if Iku saw her, I'm sure she would recognize her in jr/high school. <br /><br />Oh. Ah...in a way, Nogiku helped him 'change', right? One cannot say...perhaps, he could. <br /><br />What to do you mean? 'Dare' as in a bet?

Sh...Ohhh you'll see!^^ No more spoilers for ya! She's gonna return like Iku with a vegeance!!^^<br /><br />Yup those women were reported to be stubborn headstrong too independent and could bring men to an early grave pffft^^!!!<br /><br />Well reimagining!! (just as Guts from Berserk is a reimagined MacDuff from the MacBeth play)<br /><br />Iku was a nobody back then she only became more popular in middle school and then high school! She did not know it was Kasane! And the arts festival could be a joint effort between many schools and she happened to be in one of them! But that's a theory!^^ <br /><br />Yeah that too! But there must have been other reasons I had the impression he wanted to change 'his students' view of 'ugly looking' people but didn't have much success! But was there a moment where he did succumb to the pain and someone helped him? If so could he help Kasane as well?<br /><br />One more thing about the Kaidou brothers both Atae and Nagi seem to have a dare I say it strange way with words and in convincing someone even though it might be a lie! I wonder if the same applies somewhat to the daughters of Atae?Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-57672085246600004152018-05-28T23:58:09.697+08:002018-05-28T23:58:09.697+08:00Thank you so much!Thank you so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-1938976947121198332018-05-28T22:34:52.422+08:002018-05-28T22:34:52.422+08:00Hehe...who?

I'm not sure about Cinderella since that would mean she knew Kasane before but they don't seem to during jr high. <br /><br />Hm...I don't quite recall it but I got the impression that he became a teacher to get back at 'students' who belittled him? Was I mistaken?

Well as I mentioned there...Thanks for the reply<br /><br />Well as I mentioned there's one person that Kingo hasn't really met and just heard about and she acts through Kasane who shares many similarities with her but he will have no choice but to see her!<br /><br />Izana was born in the year of the Fire Horse (1966) that was confirmed in the Izana novel! Read about the chinese Zodiac Curse and the year 1966 in japan with low birthrate's for women! <br /><br />Again I implore you read the subtext of the little mermaid story by Hans Christian Andersen I don't think the author choose it for no reason for Sugeyo! She found the lipstick in the drawer where she told her it would be!<br /><br />I really like the painting in chapter 84 behind her it says so much about kasane's state of mind at this point! And the staircase^^ and the fact that Iku was in the audience during salome! I wonder at what point she became intersted in theater who was the person that ignited her interest if Kasane managed to bring her down as Giovanni and pick her up as Neena playing Salome? Or was she there all along since the beginning before Kasane got to know her sitting somewhere in the audience watching Cinderella?^^ And of course Amagasaki's story in becoming a teacher!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993338479762561868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891049529945268328.post-16061811873177702662018-05-27T23:20:19.679+08:002018-05-27T23:20:19.679+08:00Thanks for reading, Anon-kun ^-^

Kasane ...Thank you very much for this translation!<br /><br />Kasane hugging Kingo at the end of this chapter is really surprising, but very endearing. Despite the things he's said and done to her, she selflessly clinged on to him and helped him, much like he clinged on to her mother. I wonder why? Why is she driven to him? Is it because she sees the value of his art, or maybe she admires the love he felt for his mother? Kasane being able to do for Kingo what Izana failed at to people important to her is certainly the beginning of her surpassing her mother as both a person and an actress.Anon-kunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843018599880978589noreply@blogger.com
