Kokoro-chan Manga #10 | The Chameleon Who Adapts Too Much to Others

A small clinic on a mysterious island.
Animals whose hearts are a little tired come here.

This week's patient

The 10th episode is the story of Chameleon-chan.

Chameleon-chan says she likes what the other person likes,
and changes her color to match the other person's vibe.

She thought that if she didn't say something different and get disliked,
she could just catch up with her own preferences later.

However, as she kept matching various colors,
she ended up not knowing which color was her own.

Episode 2: The colors I matched don't wash off easily

Episode 3: Even my own color had disappeared

Episode 4: Transparent patient, reception is tough, isn't it

Episode 5: Just the outline for now

Episode 6: Even if the color changes, it hasn't disappeared

Episode 7: Thank you for your hard work this week too

This week was the story of Chameleon-chan,
whose color changes every time she adapts to others.

Saying you like what the other person likes.
If it keeps the atmosphere smooth, you can just catch up with your own preferences later.

While spending time like that,
various colors remained on her body.

However, washing off all the other people's colors
didn't mean her true self would emerge.

When you keep adapting for a long time, instead of the "hidden self,"
you might be left with a "self that doesn't know which one was the real one."

Dr. Wolf did not paint any new colors onto Chameleon-chan.

Instead, he only drew a thick, black outline.

The doctor cannot decide which color is the correct one.
But no matter what color you become, you don't have to erase the fact that you are there.

Adapting to others is not entirely a bad thing.
It can be a form of kindness, a sign of dexterity, or the strength to protect the atmosphere of a situation.

And so, Chameleon-chan
will likely continue to change her colors.

However, a little more than before,
she has come to understand where she ends.

By the way, that important outline
is drawn with an extra-thick marker.
It is a clinic where the treatment tools are crudely thick for such delicate matters.

Next time, it will be a story about someone else who is a little tired.
Look forward to it!
