I just want to show a compilation of Kaiao moments from the manga ♥
"I don't really understand it well, but I think I should treat you coldly... even though... that's because it seems like... I love you."
My biggest evidence that Kaito is so in love with Aoko is that even a robot recognizes it. Also, speaking of Aoko, she was seen throughout the whole chapter red as a tomato and avoiding Kaito. XD
"Anyway, ice creams are also very sweet."
Chapter 4: A Bad Day for Kaito Kid
How could we forget that Aoko defended with all her might that Kaito is not Kaito Kid. But, even more importantly, how could we forget that Kaito got on a moving roller coaster just so Aoko wouldn’t find out that he is Kaito Kid, only to realize that she was the one most committed to defending his innocence.
"If I go to the ground, I will no longer be myself! I hope you find something worth dying for too."
Silver
"Something important to protect, huh!"
Kaito
Chapter 5: The Pirate Ship
What can I say? I loved seeing Kaito again, tsundere and heroic, trying to rescue his princess. And the ending, when Kaito thinks that Aoko is that something he would die for, was simply beautiful.
"All the girls bring chocolates to school... there's always a guy to give them to."
Chapter 6: Scarlet Seduction
I had fun seeing how they switched roles, with a somewhat tsundere Aoko and a clueless Kaito. XD
I still can’t get over the fact that Kaito doesn’t know it’s Valentine’s Day. XD
"I'd rather let her shine! ♥ That's why we won't ski together."
Chapter 7: Leave Me Alone!
What can I say about this chapter, aside from that I loved it from start to finish? I truly love that the 2010 special and the 2014 anime adapted this chapter
"Let's not talk about it, it's a man's job... girls can't take risks."
"Chapter 12: The Ghost of the School"
I know that, for these times, this phrase might seem a bit outdated, but I find it so cute that Kaito tries to appear trustworthy so Aoko can feel at ease.
And how could we forget that we have proof that Kaito got jealous when he saw Aoko talking to the attractive new teacher.
And let's not forget how, in the end, Kaito carries Aoko in his arms, princess-style, while giving her a tender look when she wakes up. I’d like to be mad at Aoko, but I understand the reason for her distrust. 😅😅😅😅
"People say fools don't catch a cold"
Maybe I'm cheating a little with this one, since the chapter focuses more on Ginzo and Christmas, but you can't deny how cute Kaito looks, nervous just because Aoko is taking his temperature in the calmest way possible.
"This is my gift for you! Happy birthday, Aoko."
It is later mentioned that Kaito never breaks his promises nor Aoko's heart. He was literally about to die at the hands of an organization that, on that very day, discovered that it was the same organization that killed his father. Yet, he still didn't forget Aoko's birthday. And even though he couldn't be physically with her that day, he showed her that he hadn't forgotten her.
"I'm Kaito Kuroba! Nice to meet you!"
God, seeing how Kaito protected the first memory of him and Aoko in the form of a watch, as if it were a valuable jewel that not even the best detective in the world could get him to part with, was so beautiful! And how, still out of breath and dirty, he went to see Aoko to show her, as Kaito Kuroba, that the same memory she holds is also his greatest treasure, was simply wonderful. 👏 💕"
Chapter 24: The Black Star Part 2
"My old man stole my mom's lips at this point. W-well, for now, I'll hold back."
Kaito, explain to us that 'for now, you'll hold back' 🤭🤭🤭 It seems that someday Kaito won't be able to hide his feelings for Aoko anymore and will stop treating her so coldly.
Chapter 30: Phantom Lady Part 2
"I say I would take you anywhere you wanted: to the amusement park, to the zoo, to the aquarium… anywhere, and for free!"
Throughout the manga, we've seen how Aoko is the one who takes the initiative to invite Kaito to go somewhere, while Kaito only invites her when something related to Kaito Kid is involved. However, in this chapter, it's clear that Kaito just wants to invite her to hang out because he wants to (cough, cough, date, cough). I even find it a bit funny how, as always, he brings out his tsundere side, saying it's fine if she doesn't want to go with someone who has already crashed his bike by accident, all while not looking her in the face. You're not fooling me, Kaito, you were afraid of being rejected! 🤣
Chapter 34: Halo of the Sun
"Kaito is Kaito after all."
Even though Kaito's side still hurts, he prefers the pain rather than hurting Aoko with the truth. And now that I think about it, it's curious how this arc started with a motorcycle and ended with a motorcycle. 🏍
I'm not sure if I'm missing any moments, but if I am, which ones would you add? Again, thanks for reading. :3 ♥
