Skip Beat! Ch. 153 - Dangerous Mission Get!
And now we continue with the story arc that sent me into fits of happiness a few weeks ago. Deliciously insane Cain Heel. owo Kyoko asks Cain if he's Ren, and then two of them have a staredown in which he seems to get increasingly angry. He scares her so badly that she loses her strength and falls to the ground, after which he merely walks off. Kyoko finally regains her strength after fifteen minutes sitting on the ground, and she leaves, feeling like and idiot for mistaking Cain as Ren. She thinks about how all of the body proportions are exactly the same as Ren's including his muscules and even his skeletal structure (Supposedly all this data is so she can make accurate replica dolls. Ha.). As she's wandering lost in thought, Cain approaches from behind and pulls her into a side alley. She starts sputtering apologies for talking to him (ah, that's the Kyoko we know and love), and he pets her on and head and tells her that she wasn't wrong and he really is Ren. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~ Lory seems displeased that Ren blew his cover so quickly, but in truth he was expecting it all along. He then asks Kyoko to act as Cain's "guardian" since it would be a dead giveaway if Yashiro accompanied "Ren as Cain" around. The real mission begins now.
So...normally I'd be pretty ticked to have four pages of nothing happening. Seriously. The first four pages, Kyoko and Cain just stare at each other. But in this case, I'll let it slide. Because they are DELICIOUS PAGES. The entire chapter could have been like this, and I probably wouldn't have cared (actually, I definitely would, but that's beside the point). Ren is a fantastic actor (and by that, I mean Nakamura is a fantastic artist. It's still clearly Ren based on the shape of his body and face (as Kyoko so cleverly figured out), but the expressions make him seem like a wholely different person. I am in awe of the skill behind these pages. While I (like Lory) am a little disappointed that Ren blew his cover so quickly, I think it's for the best. The readers know it's Ren, so the reveal won't be much of a surprise. It's best to get it out of the way from the start. Sure, he could try tricksy things like secret phone calls and voice changers, but it's better to save those shenanigans for Detective Conan. Either way, it looks like Kyoko will have to create a character to complement Cain Heel as he goes around, and I am ridiculously excited. Ren acting, Kyoko learning, and potential for awkward and romantic situations? YES, PLEASE!
