Yare, yare. Too much over-thinking here. The first one is just the oft-used "caught doing something stupid" scene that you see in any number of comedic settings. Kyon is "making a cool pose" as he assumes no one is looking at him, only to have someone look at him. The fact that it's a girl is only to make it more embarrassing. You have to think visually while reading these novels, as Tanigawa writes very visually.shichinanatsu wrote:hmm.. though i highly think this is just me looking into things too much, i managed to sniff out some evidence for kyon's ability to establish a harem..
this one's an excerpt from v4's epilogue, the other's from v7's chapter 2..
Spoiler! :any thoughts?Spoiler! :
As for the second, Tsuruya-san is a bit like Kyon, and by extension us. She is the perfectly normal observer, silently sitting back and enjoying the show while not worrying about getting involved. If he wasn't already involved, Kyon would be in exactly the same situation. The fact that she has Batman levels of observational ability and logical reasoning are just to make her that much more the badass.
