Ugh, I'm not sure why I said that! Cuz it's a romance thing I guess? I don't think Ren should "come to her rescue". This whole manga is about Kyouko growing and standing up for herself. Her whole additude beyond being scoured by Shou has been very feminist. She takes care of herself and deems romantic notions as detrimental to her goals of success. Sure, that's because she was knocked out of her "woman supports the one she loves" fantasy, but doesn't that happen to so many women? I love this story because woman have real conversations that don't involve men and it's not all about the "romance" aspect of the series.
She's drawn like an intensly cunning, smart, beautiful woman. She's a lawyer for goodness sakes, of course she'll recognize her own daughter. That doesn't mean she won't ignore her or say something totally devastating to her daughter. Ugh. Poor Kyouko and her selfish mommy. I hope she doesn't try to ruin her career just to spite her or something. I hope Ren gets back soon to support k through this. I totally wonder what his attitude will be toward her? He'll either act totally polite because she's the mom or tell her off in his superior way, hmmmmm.
