The first time I read it I thought it was because I wasn't really looking, but I think it might be a new person. Ooh maybe a new character?
While possible, fairly unlikely, considering all the fuss that was kicked up last time he came over. Also, i'd be kinda non sequitur for Kuu to just randomly show up like that. No rhyme or reason for it. Sho, on the other hand, has not only stated that he knows where Kyoko lives during the dangerous mission arc, but also his intention to visit her there. Besides, i'm pretty sure we've seen that exact belt on Sho before. Nakamura sensei has drawn him way too ambiguously. In fact, her entire art style has slowly been shifting towards, as i call them, "melty faces". The characters used to have distinctive features and fluffy hairstyles. Now i swear you could copy and paste faces on to different characters and not have much of a difference. Take the latest chapter, when ten-chan is talking to Pres. Rory, it may as well be Kyoko in a different wig. :P
I just don't know! Cause ren's dad is blonde and young looking, but it does kind of look like sho. Is that lady the one that kyoko lives with? if she is then itcould be sho, because he was looking for kyoko
Replying to Rose's comment about the "melty faces" I have noticed the same thing!! What is with that?! And the same is true for Nitta Youka's Haru Wo Daiteita--this is my all time favorite manga ever, but the art has been gradually moving towards the 'melty face' look since around vols 12-13, and is very noticable with the new chapters. I don't love it as much (the best art for Haru was, IMO, around Vols 7-8; but I'm still grateful for anything with my beloved Katou and Iwaki, no matter how melty!!
I know at the end everyone keeps saying the guy is Shou, but isn't that Ren's dad?
