haha nino in rl is kinda an otaku hm? Yeah i don't think we'd be able to see a smiley koichi much. I'm glad ryo's character is a more extroverted one this time round xD I'm a little tired of him playing the role of a shy stoic character. HEY i thought ryo-chan's vertically-challenged enough and here comes nino xD

haha xD. Me too. I thought Ryo is short-ish but Nino is just a smurf :hehe:
I'm looking forward to Ryo's sunny side and Nino being the serious master-minding brother.

I think it was noted that the sister is not blood related to the brothers in the novel introduction so knowing that bit of info might be important. Just a guess.. I think it has to do with their mother's background.. I'm not sure Shiizuna's mom (who was murdered too) has any blood relation to the brothers. Yanie-chan, can you please clarify this? The mother seems to be a rather mysterious character... but if its a major spoiler please don't reveal, umm, too much :p[/quote]

Jess!!! Thank you soooooo much for the scans!!!!!!!! :woot:

Hehee... Koichi = no interest, no friends, dark. What a way to describe his character :mrgreen: Koichi in the novel is quite talkative coz he has to explain all the plans and his investigation result of their next target. And he grins when he teases Shizuna, or when their mission is accomplished. So although yes, seem like Koichi have no interest and no friends in the novel, but I don't think he's that dark. He is more serious and mature than his younger siblings though. And most importantly, alot smarter and quick-witted. His younger siblings cannot hide anything from him.

tofu, do you read the novel I translated? Shizuna's mother's background is revealed in Chapter 7. So if you patient enough to wait for it to be posted... ^^

But seem like there will be more to it... And I know there's something that the older brothers hide from Shizuna too. I noticed that when I was reading a chapter. But it can't be about the fact she's not blood-related, coz she exactly knows her name is Yazaki and not Ariake... but, I dunno maybe it happens later?? xD There are so many mystery here and there that made me "Huh?" while reading it^^

About the intention of making Shizuna character unrelated by blood. Well... I haven't read many chapters enough to know about this, but according to some readers:
Spoiler — click to revealKoichi has hidden feelings for Shizuna more than a sister, that he himself doesn't realize, and he accidentally showed it, when Shizuna started to fall in love with Togami Yukinari. It's kinda weird for me, coz this is totally incest :sweat: They've grown up together since childhood! It'll be a different story if they're step siblings who first met when they are quite bigger. But well... I guess its possible for Koichi to feel that way, coz he know that Shii is not his birth sister from the start?


Still hoping its not true though, maybe its just the readers' opinion/analysis^^

But I have another theory... hehe...
Spoiler — click to revealKoichi MIGHT not be Ariake Yukihiro's son xD haha... just a wild guess though! I dunno...... the police detective seem to protect him so much... =P

hopefully it's NOT true!! :hehe: :beaten: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: ---> fangirl rant, for obvious reasons.. XD

second meoinkie2! NO!
Spoiler — click to revealThat will be so weird :sweat: and somewhat cliche.. i'm hoping its just his deep overprotective love towards his little sister. Throw him another love interest Kudokan!


yes yanie-chan, i'm reading your translations :mrgreen: Can't thank you enough :bow: . I'll wait patiently for chapter 7.

Thanks for the scans, jess. Would have liked to have seen Erika too, though.

As for yanie_chan's spoilers which I spent 5 minutes deciding whether to read it or not...

Spoiler — click to revealOh, wow, wow, Incest! Koichi in love with his sis is way too overly weird. I know RnK is bonds revolving around 3 siblings but this is way too close for comfort. :sweat:
12 Sep 2008, 18:44 #106
Hehe, Rori, I guess if you're disappointed now, its better that you know now, so you won't be disappointed later and have prepared yourself for it :mrgreen: But I reaaaally hope its not true. Wishing the same as tofu^^ I think the japanese readers just thought of it too much :fingerscrossed:

Screensaver is up on the official website!! :dancing:

New CM. Narration by Nishikido Ryo. Honestly, it would help if they do another take or two or seven to perfect his narration...:sweat:
Not as smooth and velvety as Nino.
They are sticking with the David Bowie song! :mrgreen:

A translation of what ryo said: "Big brother, Sister was serious. She has fallen in love with our enemy's son."

lol ryo sounds like he has a sore throat xD HMM i wonder when will they announce the official theme song for the drama. *i hope NEWS gets it*

First day's shooting went successfully according to nino's jweb :)

And the producer of this drama has said that he would not follow the ending of the novel and that unlike the novel which focused on the brother's plots, this drama would be more focused on the relationship between the characters.

well i think there are two possibilities
1) They aren't related by blood hence it's possible for the brothers to fall in love with the sister.

2) They aren't related by blood and since the plot is that the sister falls in love with the murderer/son of the murderer (i'm not very sure which is the correct one), there is a possibility that the sister ends up plotting against the brothers.
hey thankz for the update and the infor amtion aboutthe fact that she isn't related
that still can of confusing but hey it just make u wonder how it will play out in the drama

:sweat: i hope people won't start saying its a real plot in the story. yanie-chan did mentioned its just based by the readers opinion with no real confirmation.
I have faith in Higashino-san not to put such cliches in his work. Hopefully I'm right :fingerscrossed:

HMM i'm not that sure about that since in nino's recent jweb, he mentioned that Higashino-san would be sticking close to the original.

:sweat: but have you read the book jess? yanie-chan was saying that it is based on others/some opinion on the book which is still not clear. Unless
Spoiler — click to revealKoichi himself showed really obvious behaviors of loving Shii more than just a sister.
Have to keep in mind the opinions are still speculations unless we ourselves have read through the whole book. Writers sometimes tend to leave the mystery of a character to their readers. Each readers will or may have a different perspective on the story. We just have to wait until one of us or any English speaking readers to spoil us by confirming if this is actually true.

eh? isn't the entire book already out? There shouldn't be any speculations then, would there? Nah i haven't read the book. yanie-chan finished it?
Spoiler — click to revealhaha i'm kinda confused since i THOUGHT i saw someone who has read the book confirm the 'incest', but apparently not. but eh? isn't the 'incest' part pretty clear cut?
Why would the readers talk about it if it did not happen? the only thing i know is that the director is definitely sticking to the plot of the novel, besides the ending
Spoiler — click to revealwhere the two brothers get jailed.

err.. yanie-chan! help :sweat:
you're the one who put forth the opinions on the possible
Spoiler — click to reveal"incest" (:hehe: gawd.. and i don't think jealousy count as incest) even though it was just implied. i really don't like the idea of boku wa imouto koi ga suru in this :sweat:

let me be in denial if its true :crazy:
or just let me have faith in the power of Kudokan to prevent it :hehe: :beaten:

demmit.. i read the spoiler by jess :sweat:
gotten too curious :sweat:

we are giving away spoilers left and right.. its not good :sweat:
jess, could you please put your comment under a spoiler box in case its true.
13 Sep 2008, 16:00 #118
LOL. Dammit, spoilers... the fonts can still be seen somehow, although I didn't purposely block them xD And I've only read up to Chapter 19 of 53 :sweat: This is really not good, let's just stop talking abt this, coz I hate spoilers for something so good like this :sweat: But that's really the ending?? Hiksss... I'll hate that. So unfair for them :puppydog: I still prefer Sorakara's ending.

Appreciated your explanation, jess^^ So you've finish reading the book? That's why you know everything so clearly ne? Hehe... tofu, yabai... seem like jess is someone who knows abt evrything already here, haha... :sweat: :sweat:
13 Sep 2008, 16:19 #119
LOL :hehe:
I'd rather be spoiled gradually with the book translation by yanie-chan~ :mrgreen:

OT: yanie-chan.. have you seen Maou yet?

i wonder if Ryusei would be as intense as Maou. that drama just don't want to leave my head.. it might take weeks (sorry for the rant :sweat:)
