Official Site Update

Just FYI, but the Official Code Geass website has updated.

Nothing about the new Gaiden, as far as I can tell (They aren't exactly chatty on that, are they?), but there's a brief thing about that Tales of Graces game with the Geass costumes, and the Renya manga now has it's own page, with descriptions of the main characters, and summaries of the first four chapters. And pictures and stuff.

Looks like Code Geass: Renya of Darkness might be the official English version of it's title.

Fair enough.

I suppose we're looking at it from slightly to moderately different angles then.

It's probably been a bit easier for me to digest Renya, at least for the time being, because I've fully accepted that it seems to be going for the more ridiculous and least realistic side of Code Geass ...but I wouldn't rule out coming to hate it or, hopefully, finding a better way to look at the manga further down the line. We'll see.

Other than pointing out that said character seems to be a little older than Kaguya herself, which may or may not matter, there's really not much else to say here.

Yeah, I will admit that the character looks older than Kaguya maybe and, at least, doesn't have that kind of moe-loli/sexualizing-extreme-deference problem that I see going on regularly in way too much anime. So I must give it points there.

Overall it seems like the divide is that I've essentially given up on Renya (although if I hear that it gets better, I would be willing to give it another chance) but you're still waiting for it to find its feet. I don't blame you for that.

Oh and also, I apologize if I've come off harsh. I'm just really disappointed in the Code Geass manga spinoffs (with the exception of the anthologies) and sometimes end up venting about it.
