Endorph posted:considering the star eyes thing the actress had going on, its possible theres something more interesting than just 'Killer Man.' at the very least it seems like his deal is targeting actresses and idols with star potential and such, which could at least loop into the series' commentary on the entertainment industry - him as a metaphor for what the industry does to a lot of young women. I can buy that, but why did he kill the doctor in the beginning? Was that to cover his tracks somehow, since he was in charge of Ai at the time?

Holy poo poo, you solved it. All along, it was Killerman, the attraction to stars really was a dead giveaway HenryEx fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Apr 29, 2023 |

what a chapter.. aqua, just tell that guy the name so he can stab or shoot him in an alley or something... at first I thought the girl there was Ruby's model classmate with the long hair, but she's much older and drinking

I can understand a bit of trepidation at this reveal, but personally I think having the killer be an out-and-out psycho could make for a more interesting game of cat and mouse with the twins going on the offensive, as opposed to the more pure soap opera-y stuff that could come from a more ambiguous conflict. There's also the fact that on some level, a lot of showbiz operates with a very screws-loose mindset, so a dark reflection on that has potential

Yeah if the angle turns out to be "loads of people knew a complete lunatic has been on the loose for decades and just let it happen for Showbiz Reasons" and if it's pulled off well, that could be a more interesting development than anything having to do with the specific identity of the killer himself, and a timely commentary on systematic abuses within the entertainment industry.

If Harvey Weinstein and Jeffey Epstein and a ton of other people can get away with systemic abuse for actual decades, I can totally see people looking past a serial killer because corruption

You say that, but there is a god wandering around the background of this plot, reincarnating stans.

I find it interesting how the last chapters emphasized Ai and the latest victim dying right before they got huge. Could just be the killer having a type, but given that this setting has confirmed supernatural elements, it's also possible that there's something more to it.

Is there now limit to how far Aqua will exploit Akane? And is Ruby really going to want to participate? Why cast himself as the murderer? Does he want to destroy his own career that badly? Nebrilos fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Mar 2, 2023 |

Nebrilos posted:Is there now limit to how far Aqua will exploit Akane? And is Ruby really going to want to participate? I mean, the killer is his dad, who he strongly resembles, especially considering he is around the age his killer-dad was when Ai died. He's just casting the person who can best look the part.

As others have said, because he has trauma about Ai's death with the depth of the Mariana's Trench.

I'll be honest I don't know how I'd feel if the twist was Ai Hoshino wanted to die because she felt like she couldn't cut it as an Idol to actress pipeline and would rather die in a dramatic fashion for some form of immortality. I'm sure it's not that because that feels a bit like victim blaming and a bit convoluted. I would however am open to the other twist about the Concerning age gaps considering the entirety of Ai and the killer and such's age difference. There are potential landmines there that if handled properly could be good writing and commentary on the entertainment industry I'm sure Aka would be able to handle such topics maturely and properly.

The obvious thing I can think of is Ai revealing her kids to the world via the documentary but that seems a bit low-key compared to how Ai was framed during that dark star panel In any case Aka is doing a good job making us guess.

To be sure, only Akane is capable of playing the part of Ai since she can do the eyes correctly. Was this Aqua’s plan the whole time, the reason he went out with her once he realized her talent?
