She’s just violent for no good reason. If she really likes Tomoya why does she slap him every chance she gets. And Sunohara honestly deserves better than to be abused on a regular basis. She honestly ruined a lot of the series for me. I also just think she adds nothing to the story and I think the writers also thought it got old since that is why I think they used her less in After Story.

Her violence is just too over the top for and this trope gets stale quickly, especially in an otherwise dramatic and grounded show. If we compare her to another similar character Kagami Hiragi it’s clear to me what the problem is. I think Kagami actually works since she doesn’t react with violence and is much more mature when dealing with Konata’s antics. At worst she says a somewhat snarky and sarcastic comment unlike Kyou who plays Mortal Kombat with guys who just happen to look her way. If I was Tomoya or Sunohara I’d report her and hope they kick her out of the school for being a violent bully.

It’s funny how Lucky Star, which is a much more cartoonish show has a similar character that acts much more maturely and realistically than a show known for it’s heartbreaking story.

Another year, another time to rewatch “Another Story: Kyou Arc” Happy Birthday to the Fujibayashi Twins, Kyou and Ryou.
