Lil correction: lately Kiara confirmed, that jenma isn't her manager anymore and ponma took over.
Also I personally think Kiara really feels the effects of not moving to Japan. Especially now that she has concrete examples with the rat and Bau baus.
Not quite, last time she reported, Kiara is still managed by Jenma and Ponma, (80:20 for Ponma), but its not the first time Jenma has to step back for a while and another Manager steps in for the day-to-day stuff, but she will come back. And even if not, Kiara still remains Jenmas favorite child.
Also, the topic of moving to Japan or not is a really complicated one for Kiara. But despite the obvious benefits for her career in Hololive as an Idol, she still says that she is glad that she didn't move back to Japan. Yeah, Holos in Japan get included in more stuff and Kiara has to travel a lot to be able to participate and also unlike HoloID or HoloJP she can't just casually hang out with Holomems offstream. But still, as someone who has watched her since 2020, I can safely say that she has never been as mentally stable as the current year. Her occasional women moments are just that, women moments. She also carries unresolved mental baggage more than a decade old, but she doesn't believe in doctors or shrinks, so the woman moments are here to stay.
Kiara bought a house with a garden early this year. She dreams of muscle cars, mowing the lawn and having grill parties with friends in the summer. She is on her boomermaxing arc. She wouldn't have bought a house if she still had doubts about "maybe still trying out living in Japan one more time". Most importantly, she has her cats. A worryingly big deal of her mental is reliant on the presence and well-being of her cats. I don't think it's very healthy to outsource that much of her mental stability onto frail pets, but well, the choice seems to be that or just being a menhera all day. She did say that as long as her cats live, she won't even consider moving back to Japan. Ofc, it would be possible to take her cats with her, but she fears that the sheer stress of airplane travel might kill them or just permanently traumatize them or something. She would rather not risk it.
Her cats are fine where she is and she is fine where her cats are. It might be stressful to fly almost every month of the year to Japan, but she would rather do that than risk her cats having to do it.
Also, she besides her cats, she does have a fairly solid social circle here, both friends and family. She is close to her mom, sees her every few weeks, as well as her older brother (he also moved to Vienna for work).
Recently, she even reconnected with her older Half-sister (they will have a girls spa weekend soon) and even saw her dad for the first time in 14 years. He is basically a stranger to her, but it was he who tried to reconnect with her (through her mother) and she found that he, too, is just a regular guy. Turns out that he isn't really a deadbeat after all, he's just a hardcore normie and could not keep up with how based Mamatori was. But there doesn't seem to be bad blood between them. Kiara seems willing to try to get to know her dad better as well. She is over her teenage rebellious rejection of her father.
Mamatori already told him what her job is (I wonder how many people mamatori is just casually doxxing Kiara to) and he asked her "Are you anime?". His son is a weeb (because its cool now) so he isnt a complete stranger to anime.
She also got a small, but seemingly solid friend circle with BFF, RBF, RMT, PM+GF. And another one that overlaps just a bit, consisting of friends she seems to almost only meet at conventions or cosplay events. And when I listen to some other Holos, it does seem like a lot of them lack a friend group outside of other Holomems or streamers. And I think Kiara having one is very important and definitely not something she should give up.
In conclusion, I think Kiara is good where is rn and I think she would agree with me.
