However, I'm getting the feeling that Kaoru's strength may have something to do with the last scene of this episode,
(ie: her mom). Maybe her mom has always been too busy going out with other men to pay attention to her? I felt so bad for Kaoru at the end, and I wanted her to go and beat up her mom's date or whoever he was!
First, lol at assumptions. I always avoid putting in personal assumptions like that, cause it can really ruin the story, since then you'll view the mother as a "irresponsible and uncaring mother" even though there's no proof.
well, now let's reverse the perceptive.
Her mom has the right to find a new love, since she's a single parent, she also want's to find her own happiness, and doesn't know that her actions will hurt her daughter in someway.
Kaoru's situation is the usual "Single Parent Love Drama", that involves Kaoru not approving her relationship.
