One day, a new girl, who bears a striking resemblance to Kuroneko, both physically and in her name, Neko Kuroha, transfers into Ryouta’s class. Pretending this is somehow subtle, the writers wait a few episodes before revealing that Neko Kuroha is actually Kuroneko *insert super dramatic music here*; but, thanks to plot convenience, Ryouta is left ignorant, and he continues to angst about it.
