【Mayfly Project】He’s mysterious, but he’s actually a family man! Here’s a summary of Shuya Kano, aka Kano!

The difference between Kano’s novels/animations and the manga

Due to the nature of the story, which repeats August 14 and August 15 over and over again, The Mayfly Project follows a different route in each medium. Because of this, some characters who were friends in the novels may not have met in the anime, and some characters who were close in the novels may have become enemies in the manga.

As far as Kano is concerned, the two major differences between the novel/anime and the manga are the relationship with her sister-in-law, Ayano, and her connection to the mastermind.

I already mentioned that the days with the Tateyama family were irreplaceable for Kano, but especially with regard to Ayano, Kano in the novel route was a so-called ciscoon. He couldn’t go against anything Ayano said, and he would make extreme statements when he thought he might have found someone he liked.

When Kano learns from Ayano that his father, Kenjiro, is possessed by a “brilliant snake” and is planning to kill everyone with the ability of the eye, Kano cooperates with Ayano as he works to stop the brilliant snake’s plans. ……
Ultimately, Ayano chooses to commit suicide in order to stop the brilliant snake’s plans. Later, Kano is used by the person who took his beloved sister away from him, the Saeki Snake, by taking the rest of his family hostage.

Kano is left alone with the real reason for her sister’s suicide and the plan of the brilliant snake, without telling Kido, Set, or Marie about it.

The manga takes a very different path from the novels and anime when Set brings Marie, a descendant of Medusa, to the Takiyama family, which is a turning point in the manga.
With the deaths of both Kenjiro and Ayaka in the accident, Ayano’s hatred turns to Marie, the source of all his power. Kano and his friends are disappointed when Ayano raises his hand to Marie, his “family”. The interactions in the novel and the anime are a lie, as Kano has a cold attitude towards Ayano.

Also, since the mastermind is not haunting Kenjiro, Kano in the manga route is not alone and suffering from the knowledge of Saeki Snake’s plans. She works with Kido, Set, Marie, and Konoha, the newest member of the Mechakushi group, to destroy the plans of the Saeki Snake.

Thoughts on Kid

On the other hand, there are some things that don’t differ greatly between the novel and the manga. The reason why “the snake that deceives the eye” possessed Kano, and her encounter with Tateyama family. And Kano’s love for Kido is one of them.

In the novel version, Kano feels “not too happy (to the point of being overdone)” that he was able to fight in tandem with Kido’s abilities when he took a stand and sealed off the brilliant snake, and that he heard the voice of “that girl he loves” in his final moments.
In the manga version of the story, she shows no signs of being upset when Marie asks if she dislikes or likes Kido, and in the character introduction section of the final volume, it is clearly stated that she had feelings for Kido.

Kano and Kido, who first became “friend number one” and later became brother and sister. I don’t know if they grew up with each other so much as romantic feelings, but I’m pretty sure that Kano at least had special feelings for Kido.

Summary

In both the novel and manga routes, Kano has a scandalous and frivolous vibe, but also harbors tender feelings, and with Mayfly Days No. 9 coming out in 2020, it will be interesting to see what kind of an adult he becomes now that he’s escaped his repetitive days!
