Bump.
Given Volume 18 just came out here in France, seeing Kyōko's childhood flashbacks gave me some leisure to contemplate one of the (as yet) untold mysteries of Skip-Beat! e.g. Mrs Mogami, and I was wondering what the hell was the job that made her disregard her daughter education. Scientist at NERV, maybe ?
The flashback in question

More seriously, given the number of reference books in her room, my money would be on a law-related job - laywer, or a notarial profession (which make her an Amoral Attorney). If not, maybe a businesswoman. Any ideas on that ?
PS: Should we say Mrs or Ms Mogami ? Given the extraordinary length of data we've got on Kyōko's parents, we don't even know if they were married.
PPS: For that matter, given we don't know jack about Kyoko's dad, he might either be
- dead (what Kyōko thinks, or at least told Maria)
- divorced/left before or soon after Kyōko's birth (and maybe Mom told her he's dead.)
- might don't even know he has a daughter he might be someone we know!
PPPS: Well, taking the reflection further, Kyōko might be an in-vitro kid (à la Urumi Kanzaki) though given Mrs Mogami's complete lack of ethusiasm toward parenthood, this is unlikely. Or she could be a orphaned relative (I'm thinking Harry Potter).

New chapter up.
I should probably should get caught up on this series. I got halfway through the Valentines day arc and dropped it.
