Original title: 恋には程遠い (Far From "Koi") Artist: Nobicco
A Fate/Grand Ordercomic about Sessyoin Kiara and Hans Christian Andersen themed around ai (愛) and koi (恋), terms explored in the events of Fate/EXTRA CCC. Both terms refer to love, but they have different meanings in Japanese. Ai stands for a profound love that was built and developed with time, a more real and general feeling of love, while koi tends to convey a deeper and more passionate love that's usually felt in the beginning of a relationship, a more dreamy, romantic love, a feeling of longing for someone. In CCC, it's said that ai is a wanting heart that distorts reality, koi is a dreaming heart that breaks in front of reality, and ai is powerless against koi. Kiara understands ai, because that's all she causes in other people for her, and what she has for herself. But koi is something she doesn't understand at all. In other words, she doesn't understand the feeling of romantically loving someone.
