As i was watching this i had a distinctly familiar feeling, and that's when i realized:
"isn't this a very dark/vicious version of "kill me baby?"
which got me thinking about KMB.
so here's my theory about KMB:
Its all real (in canon of course),
but its overlaid with Yasuna's imagination/perception/warped memory of real events;
( like a kid seeing Santa at the mall thinking he's 'the real Santa' or, the monster under the bed etc..)
Agiri(Ninja), Yasuna(J/K) and Sonia(Assassin) are all different types of chunnibyo:
Sonia is growing out of it which is why you see her trying to be quiet about it,
also, she has no 'normal' friends, so she plays along with Yas since she has no one else, and Agiri is in a different classroom (and maybe grade)
Agiri has already grown out of it, but enjoys messing with Yas, and Sonia
- she also see's a quick buck to be made selling her old chunni stuff to Yas by playing up her old chunni persona. She also seems to have some pride in some of the little tricks she learned as a chunni.
Yasuna is a chunni, but lacking a chunni persona,
however her imagination overlays her perception of reality
(and ours too since she is the MC, making her an Unreliable_narrator):
every episode she introduces herself in each story as "probably" a "normal" high-school student.
NOW, the Unused Character is likely either: 1. Yasuna's chunni persona which she never figures
out/uses, or 2. her imaginary friend that she forgot about, since she has real friends now.
THIS series (NKF) would be if KMB was really happening from Sonia/Agiri's perspective, OR
KMB is Yoshida's (as Yasuna) Traumatized re-imagining of NKF
[ I've only seen the NKF Anime, gonna Check the Manga when i get the chance]
anyway that's my theory so far.
