Out: Natsuo Kirino

Product Information

Kirino also makes a cameo appearance in the A Certain Magical Index PSP game, [69] being another game based on a light novel series published by ASCII Media Works.

Brutal Honesty: She's both blunt in her honesty sometimes but very dishonest at other times, especially when it comes to her affection. Everyone Has Standards: Whether or not she played a part with it in the first place, it seems pretty clear that she doesn't appreciate how Kirino treats Kyosuke, implying that at most, she didn't expect Kirino to go that far.

She suppresses this impulse in Volume 8 and episode 8 of season 2 to allow Kuroneko and Kyousuke to date unmolested, even though it eats her up inside.

She admired Kirino for being seemingly perfect in every way and she used to have a crush on Kyosuke, thinking of him as Kirino's caring brother.The coolly intelligent Masako emerges as the plot’s ringleader, but quickly discovers that this killing is merely the beginning, as it leads to a terrifying foray into the violent underbelly of Japanese society.

Many critics challenged and criticized Kirino for her storylines, especially for Out, by saying women should only be writing love stories. Yoshino forces Kyousuke to move out, ostensibly to study for exams, but also to separate the two from getting too close as she sees it. She soon discovered it wasn't right for her and just before her thirtieth birthday she started taking scriptwriting classes.Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She is mostly cold to everyone, but can be very sweet towards Kyousuke, the object of her affection. Society, she says, takes advantage of powerless women and it is her goal to create empowered female characters to show readers the power of the “weaker sex.

Unlike most hardboiled fiction, Kirino's novels often feature a female protagonist such as her detective Miro Murano, who complicates the typical hardboiled role of females by becoming both detective and victim. While he is a huge siscon, his feelings for his little sister are completely unromantic and only loves her as a little sister. Kuniko Jonouchi, a self-absorbed woman addicted to expensive clothes and make-up, is deeply in debt to an unsavory loan shark.While it doesn't really seem like she does anything too different, in episode 11 of season 2, while all of the girls are fighting over Kyousuke, he mentions that ever since they found out about her other life, she seems to flaunt her money quite a bit more openly, after she says she's the best person due to her wealth. Big Brother Worship: Used to idolize her brother when she was younger before he went onto a Broken Pedestal in her eyes.
