Today's review will be a little different the usual.I'll be going over 3 videos from the Kagerou Days series that center around two characters, Shintaro Kisaragi and Ayano Tateyama. Lets begin:
The first video, Transparent Answer, involves both of them but mainly focuses on Shintaro. He's a genius, top of his class, and has a cold, apathetic personality. Because he keeps himself at a distance, he attracts the attention of Ayano. He isn't really sure how to act towards her friendly and cheerful nature. But he soon begins to genuinely enjoy her company and the two become good friends. She managed to reach the heart that never wanted to be touched.
The next video is called Ayano's Theory on Happiness. One day her parents took in Kido, Kano, and Seto as foster children. She treated them like any big sister would and when she realized how scared they were of their red eyes and their powers, she told them that "red is the color of a hero" and asked them to form a gang of heroes and the Mekakushi Dan was born. After her mother's death, she worried about her family and their happiness. She felt if she had powers like her little siblings she'd be able to protect them, so she jumped off the roof and came into contact with the Heat-Haze, but unlike the others she remained dead.
The last video is Lost Time Memory. This ones the most confusing, it tool me a while to understand it. Alright, so after Ayano's death, Shintaro became a shut-in. The Shintaro in the red (the regular one from story) was able to move forward and joined the Mekakushi Dan. The other was never able to move forward, even with En with him he was never able to forget about Ayano's death. Two different universes, but both of them die on August 15 and come into contact with the Heat-Haze. They both meet Azumi, but only regular Shintaro is prepared to confront his past, which is why he walks past her. When he meets with Ayano and she's see's how much he's grown and changed as a person. Happy for him, she gives him the eye ability she gained when she came into contact with the heat-haze, the considering eyes. Regular Shintaro comes back to life with this new ability while dark Shintaro is sent back to live in a painful time loop
I really love these two characters and their stories, they were great friends and probably harbored some romantic feelings for each other. According the the manga, Transparent Answer is a song Shintarou wrote. He also wears he's red sports jersey because Ayano told him it suited them. Anyway, I really hope the manga includes even more details on their friendship and possible romance
