Konomi-sensei mentioned that there was talk about how Melos from Run, Melos looked like Kenya. (Or was Kenya the one who looked too much like Melos? I don't know which one he designed first) Melos doesn't look all that much like Kenya in the Aoi Bungaku rendition of Run, Melos since Konomi-sensei is just the original character designer for that, but man, the novel cover really does look a lot like Kenya.

And so I ended up watching the two episodes of Run, Melos in Aoi Bungaku (episode 9 and 10) after Melos piqued my curiosity. It was more touching than depressing, thankfully. Surprisingly, the story wasn't about Run, Melos but rather borrowed from that short story to relate to the author's life. The original character designer was Konomi Takeshi and the director was Nakamura Ryosuke for these two episodes.
