I was not emotionally prepared for this. I thought scum's wish was laughably bad.

It just hit so close to home

I actually cried.

Yeah it's hard to imagine this going any other way.

Maybe this is the IB remake and it's going to end with him trying to blow up the planet.

I mean, I'd be pretty surprised if Aqua had any sincere interest in Kana at this point.

I'm glad she seems to be sticking around, though. This series keeps taking unexpected turns.

Ruby finally gets some good scenes. :buddy:


Also I get he was a fan in his past life and all but the way you talk about your mother is a little weird there aqua.

e: ruby seems to really like boobs and hell, same.

thing about aqua is he's still significantly younger than when he died so he probably can disassociate more easily than Ruby, who is older.

Stop sending easily misinterpreted signals, you loving know what they mean. Either mean them or shut up, you were 30-something(?) in your previous life.

To be fair, I somehow don't think he was exactly a ladykiller last time around. :v:

Mom is outright telegraphing that Aqua's gonna get thoroughly owned in the future, so you'll get your wish I imagine.

It's too bad Ai's death totally broke his brain, hopefully Ruby and Kana's influence can unbreak it eventually.

Depends on if this is going to stay in it's current relatively light state or if it plans on getting dark again.

I feel like the latter but it's hard to say.

I guess part of it is because the setting kinda reset half way in but the cast feels pretty small still, so I wonder if any of the girls from Ruby's class or that show will be appearing much in the future.

Right now the only main characters I'd say are Aqua Ruby and probably Kana is my point. The director and so on are more supporting.

So yeah Kaguya has a pretty small cast but this feels REALLY small.

I look forward to seeing if Aqua decides to get involved or not. He does seem pretty much disinterested in anything except getting revenge on Ai and keeping Ruby happy.

Y'know, I somehow find myself more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the notion that the idol industry isn't a totally 100% misanthropic exploitative nightmare hellscape more easily than I do with reality TV.

Pretty sure that's just a relative lack of familiarity with the scene. That and I used to follow Kimura Hana on Twitter.

Unfortunately, you really shouldn't.

I wonder if the company will even give a poo poo that their actress just came very close to suicide? Or is life that cheap in the industry?

It's entirely possible they'll never even know, considering.

I wonder if Aqua was following her on purpose or stumbled onto her by random chance? I was starting to wonder if we'd have a whole chapter without him or Ruby.

I said this about the girl with the kansai accent too but I hope akane sticks around for a bit.

It's sorta strange seeing that while like 90% of stuff about idols is super pro-industry.

That being said I have no idea what Aqua could do that would actually change how people feel. Not like people are going to stop being assholes because he shows them how they've been mean or something.

If nothing else it's rather sweet how the rest of the cast cares enough to help out on Akane's behalf.

Aqua has questionable relations with his female relatives.

Thirsting for ai could be charitably called "a bit weird" when she was 15 and he was like 30, but it's somehow even weirder when she's also his mom. :v:

I'm not sure what to make of Akane's psych profiling abilities. Makes it seem like she's a few screws loose too.



e: imagine if you started dating a guy and find out years later it's only because you cosplay as his mom

That translator note is loving horrible.

I wonder if Aqua's medical knowledge is going to need to be called upon at some point, which'll tip Akane into something being off.

Also if we're going to get a Ruby focused arc. We've seen her perspective like twice and that one girl at their school with the long black hair seemed important with how people talked about her but I don't think she's shown up for more than a page or two.

I wonder if Aqua is actually right with his assumption about Akane or not.

Either way: What an rear end in a top hat.

e: Like, he assumes he doesn't have a thing for Akane because he has platonic feelings for Kana? I'm not sure that hashes out!

I can relate to the feeling of being too old to pursue a young woman's kinda career because adult stuff was more important when you were a teenager. :sigh:
