Why are Kobato's eyes inconsistent in color between episodes?

Question

In Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Kobato (Kodaka's sister) appears to have Heterochromia iridum.

Her right eye is red and her left eye is blue.

But in episode 5 of the first season, both her eyes are blue.

What gives?

Is she wearing contacts? I wasn't able to find an explanation for this from the Anime.

It is not heterochromia. The manga does explain it better and ...

There is also a mention of her mother being English and having red eye color. So wearing a contact might be a fashion statement.

Her eye is not those kind of special eye or Heterochromia type , she is wearing eye contact to match with the anime character she's cosplaying

Is it a specific anime character or is she just trying to look cool/different/unique? – atlantiza Apr 01 '13 at 03:33
