A few other quickie things I want to talk about before this thing rambles on even longer than I planned it to... The original manga that KOR is based on is almost a completely different experience. Kyosuke is not perverted in the least, Madoka is twice as understanding and Hikaru is twice as bitchy as her counterpart in the anime. Most of the "zany" situations that arrise in the manga happen because Kyosuke is a total lush. He gets completely blitzed in almost every single storyline! Kinda gets old after a while. We do get to know Kyosuke's lesbian cousin, Akane, a bit more than we do in the one OAV she's in. But that's no biggie. Plus the ending is as far different from the anime's ending as can possibly be without creating an alternate world where differences are magnified further by the presence of a "negative field" that lives in the spirit of everything that exists. Very different.

There are lots more secondary characters running around too, and most of them are rather well developed. Yuusake is a childhood friend of Madoka and Hikaru's who is in love with the monkey-girl and hates Kyosuke for holding all of her attention. Manami and Kurumi are Kyosuke's trouble making twin sisters with ESPer powers of their own. Kazuya, the Kasuga kids' cousin, has some mad skill Powers too, what with the mind reading and body swapping he can and does do. Then we have Hatta and Komatsu, the two pervert friends of Kyosuke who have a hankerin' for his twin sisters and whose hobbies include sniffing panties and taking pictures of their "buddy" Kyo in compromising positions. And we can't forget "Master". The master of the ABCB Coffee Shop who is only known by his position in the establishment. Even though I can't 100% prove it, I believe that Master is the anti-Christ. I'm working on a thesis about this, so unfortunately I can't reveal any of my reasonings. He is evil though, but he still isn't close to as iniquitous as the dark Lord Hikaru (who secretly pulls his strings from the background).
