Celebrating Kengo’s birthday, I’m starting up a Kengo discussion thread! I’ll have this pinned for the duration of his birthday. This thread has a heavy spoiler warning, so feel free to leave your spoilers untagged unless referencing events from the EX routes or other stories. His birthday is the 30th of April.
What are your thoughts on Kengo? How did you opinion of him change as you progressed through the story? How do you think of him compared to the other LB boys? What did you think of the actions he took?
For me, I thought Kengo was a magnificent character. He was very unassuming during the first play-through of the common route (first 24 episodes of the Anime), but he really shines after the incident with Koshiki. And he quickly rose the ranks to become one of my favourite characters after the baseball scene in Rin’s arc. He’s both strong and dependable, but also quick to cry when he lets down his barriers. And in the end, the way the most serious character was the one who wanted to have fun more than anyone really moved me. Of all the LB guys, he probably had the biggest emotional impact on me.
