Tonikaku Kawaii Chapter 254
Tonikaku Kawaii Take me to the moon 254
トニカクカワイイ 254
Summary/Summary of content:
In 850 BC outside Kyoto, a young boy runs away from a slave trader. When the slave owner attempted to slash the boy with his katana, Tsukasa intervened. Just like that, the slave trader attacked her, but she quickly defeated him. He ran away and she told the orphan to find a rich family in the city for help.
To that end, the boy tells Tsukasa that he chooses her. He considered her an angel. So, he vowed to study and succeed in life. Reluctantly, Tsukasa agrees to “adopt” him, but insists he call her “Nee-sama” instead of calling her mother. The boy (Ako) agreed and said that he would become the “god of learning”.
In the present, Nasa is studying hard to beat Asimo in their competition. However, he is confident he will win and calls himself the reincarnation of the “god of learning”, SUGAwara no Michizane.
Thoughts/Comments:
Wow, I didn't expect there to be a flashback to the past so quickly, but that's what we get in Tonikaku Kawaii Chapter 254. That aside, although this was the first time the name “Sugawara no Michizane” appeared, in chapter 191, Tsukasa mentioned something that implied she knew him. Considering all the other historical figures Tsukasa has met, I'm sure she knew him.
However, the Ako in the flashback cannot be SUGAwara no Michizane because he is not an orphan. So, even though SUGAwara no Michizane was involved in what became known as the Ako incident, that was never his name. But for some reason, Hata-sensei wanted to make some connection between the story of Ako and SUGAwara no Michizane that I couldn't find in the English-language history of the man.
Anyway, I enjoyed watching Mistress Tsukasa punch the slave trader and then threaten to kill him. Considering her own invulnerability and other skills, if this wasn't a shounen title, we might have seen her kill that man.
Other than that, this chapter reminds us that Nasa is in competition with Asimo. I guess this means the flashback is over. But we'll see.
Final thoughts and conclusions
