It has a chance, but considering that it's not included in the game and it's somehow makes Tomoya's love for Nagisa dull a little bit i think not.

Nowadays i imagine what would have happened if Tomoya chose Kyo and we went trough somewhat the same situations...how would Kyou react? Perhaps it would be somewhat "too real" and the whole Kyo X Tomoya married couple not as cute as the Nagisa X Tomoya one(if i consider the Kyou route 's end in the school days time then totaly lovely-dovely!...i felt somewhat Nagisa and Tomoya's relationship a little bit awkward... considering that they're supposed to be totaly in love).
Somehow i have a feeling that Kyou would be a greater help in restoring Tomoya's family life.
If i have started to compare Kyou to Nagissa then i continue:
Both live almost exclusively for others...but when Nagisa starts saddening because of other's self sacrafice, Kyo tries to find some meaning for it.
Perhaps it's natural that Kyou is more selfish, but it's partly because she's more complex person.Kyou is totaly outgoing whiole Nagissa is introverted(but she never relucant to help others). While Nagisa is silent, always nice and perhaps childish, Kyou tend to make hasty decisions, talkative and skilled in hiding her emotions and has proper goals and somewhat wide view of the world.
To cut it short: exept that both live for other people's sake they're polar opposites of each other. That's why it's interesting to think about how would she react in Nagissa's situation...Maybe i'll make a fanfiction about it.

kyou totally steals the spotlight from ryou, just like kakami steals the spotlight from tsukasa in lucky star

i bet ryou is working in new hospital in town.

Dude, it has been over 5 years since Nagi died and Tomoyo's love for her didn't wane the slightest, the damn guy was a wreck for all those years (that's beyond the norm, of course there are some exceptions like there are exceptions to everything in life). But people wish for happiness for both themselves and the ones they love. Tomoyo has to move on, wish he is doing, come to term and realization that Nagi is gone. And I'm sure if Nagi's spirit were to talk to him, she would tell him he needs to move on as well and also find happiness. Man, in all actually, Tomoyo's love is way stronger than than the norm and real world. OK, basically all I'm trying to say is that: it wouldn't dull anything if Tomoyo fell in love again, it actually makes it all more realistic. Romanticizing about a single love your whole life sounds nice and all, but no..... especially since he's still damn young and all this happened so early in his life. He's like what, 23 or 24? Damn young and in his prime....... the freakin guy has already experience more emotional turmoil than most people do their whole life!

I found strange that Kyou didn't take a visit at Ushio when she was ill...she's her kindergarten teacher and not the least Tomoya's friend...so it'll be natural if she did that.(perhaps maybe even did it, but it's not included).
Yeah Tomoya was the plaything of the town...giving him something just to take that away from him to cause more sadness to him...
In reality it's more than possible that Kyou has already someone when she met with Toimoya in the kindergarten...perhaps in an anime the characters hardly can get over their previous crushes and loves.

For all of you Kyou fans, even if KEY won't be making a Kyou continuation any time soon, there is at least a very promising doujinshi project in the making.

The story takes place during Clannad After Story after Nagisa died giving birth to Ushio. Apparently, even after these years Kyou still has feelings for Tomoya, and thus that is where the story begin...

So without further ado:

If they make the plot interesting enough, I might take a look at that

any idea when this doujinshi project will be released... it looks promising

It does. But since the website is only opened this month, I doubt the game will be completed any time soon. All I can do is to check back often, cross my fingers, and... wait.

I guess the one who drew Kyou on naughty clothing didn't read her story in the Another story book.

I am more than certain that the production team who will be handling this project knows Clannad inside out in ways that we probably can never comprehend. Although why does this project have to do with the Another Story Book is beyond me.

That being said, it is a doujinshi project, and they are not even remotely making any effort to hide the fact that it is a H-game. Thus why she could be in a rather... compromising position.

Even if it's not on the same timeline, by understanding her behavior and reactions to different situations you can better understand her character, which should remain constant even if the stories are different. If there is something about her character that that story highlights is... that she doesn't like naughty things

Certainly that is true, but we have also seen situations where she had somewhat compromised. Besides, what happens in the bedroom is a completely different story.

That said, the CGs did not feature her in specifically 'naughty' clothing. Beyond her PE outfit and her undergarments, which are both standards of the day, she really isn't wearing anything specifically naughty.

That wouldn't be fair to us fans if she doesn't.

Besides I beg to differ, watch episode 10 and episode 12 from the first season, both are somewhere shown in the middle.

Either that or she has got a sexual inclination towards Kotomi and using "tickled maternal instincts" as an excuse.

[Ithekro]

She does have a similar "trolling" aspect of her personality that Tomoya has. Thus Kyou messing with Kotomi is about like Tomoya messing with Fuuko or Sunohara.

[Tak]

Besides, Kyou route's ending pretty much suggested that she'd behave differently when she is... alone with Tomoya

A typical tsundere, hard on the outside, soft on the inside.

Now you make me want her so much.

That got me thinking, since I was thinking about Tomoyo in comparison to Kyou. But now I am not too sure which characteristic I can pin on Tomoyo.

She is not exactly tsundere.

I would say that she is just honest, tactless and slightly dense.

And she is a perfect target for Kyou's meanness, when she exclaimed, upon Ryou's suggestion that "contacts are scary", Kyou proceeds to make a face at her.

It is a pity that there isn't a scene in which both of them are fighting over Tomoya (I mean physically, the one in Ep18 S1 doesn't count).

P.S Her character song has the highest BPM, at around 140-142.

[germanturkey]

mmm. kyou in bath... without a doubt, she's my favorite character in the series. i'm looking forward to see how that doujin goes.

I don't know, more like straight-forward for me. While she did lack tact, I'd say she is not interested in wasting time and wanting to get things over with.

I cannot understand their rivalry really. There wasn't much to rival over. Sure, in EP 18, there was a slight rivalry over Tomoya, although both girls went at it pretty much for different reasons. Kyou was jealous and Tomoyo was just fulfilling an obligation.

But I have to admit, the only time they doubled-teamed Sunohara was probably the most epic thing to witness.
