Part 1: A perfect balance of work and suspense
The first thing that stands out about this work is its interesting story and clever structure. Aqua depicts various work in the entertainment industry from behind the scenes and front sides, such as “shooting a late-night drama based on a manga”, “reality reality show”, and “idol festival”, while at the same time thinking about how to achieve her own goals. The feelings of the person will be depicted.
It depicts quite vivid details such as budgets, relationships with sponsors, and even the structure of celebrities’ salaries, so you can understand how the world of entertainment that we usually see is created. At the same time, just when you think you have taken a step forward, a suspenseful suspense unfolds as a new mystery appears. The two excitements of “What kind of scene will be set next? (What kind of behind-the-scenes information will be known?)” and “What mystery will be revealed next?” will keep you turning the pages. It should never stop.
Part 2: The main character Aqua is just so cool!
Of course, the characters cannot be overlooked as part of the charm of this work. Above all, the presence of the main character, Aqua, is amazing. Ai has a star-like mark drawn on her eyes to express her natural idol nature and her eyes that draw you in. The twins inherit one from each other genetically, but the moment when these eyes shine is the best. It’s so cool.
At first glance, Aqua appears to be a cold person who rarely smiles, thinks quietly about revenge, and often makes realistic statements, but she is actually very kind, and there are several scenes where she gets angry for the sake of others. When he gets involved in a dirty adult situation or acts for someone who has faced an unreasonable situation, his eyes sparkle and the way he uses his innate intelligence to overcome the situation is sure to leave a strong impression on you.
In the “Romance Reality Show Edition,” he takes action to save his co-star Akane Kurokawa, who is exposed to merciless public criticism after a certain accident and is driven to the point of attempting suicide. The scene in which Aqua, who initially intended to “live it out in a safe zone until the end of the show” expresses her emotions for the sake of others, eloquently expresses his true nature, is a great scene. There are also realistic depictions of SNS that will make you want to wince, and it is also a famous episode that depicts the essence of the work itself.
Part 3: “Kana Arima” is cute and adorable
Another point of this work is that it features many attractive heroines. Among them, Kana Arima, commonly known as “Baking Soda,” a former genius child actor and Aqua’s senior, has a particularly strong presence.
She was hailed as a “genius child actress who can cry in 10 seconds” and was on a roll, and once co-starred with Aqua when she was a child actress. Her pride was torn to shreds by his performance at that time, and at the same time, she felt deeply indebted to him for waking her up.
After that, the two did not meet for a while, but met again in high school (at this time, Ruby asked him, “Are you a genius child actor who licks baking soda?”, so the nickname became popular). I have always been aware of this somewhere in my heart, and after meeting again, I begin to have mixed feelings, as if I lack both respect and romantic feelings.
At Aqua’s request, she decided to work as an idol along with Ruby in addition to her acting career, which she has been doing for a long time. When she talks to Aqua, she has a foul mouth and tends to hide her true feelings, which is sure to make her smile. He is a particularly expressive character in this work, and there are many comedic relief scenes, which will leave an even greater impression on you.
t the time of the release of Volume 4, which received a lot of attention, a special site “Arima Kana Genki Kana” featuring her charm was also opened, which shows that she has captivated many readers.
Part 4: Pay attention to the love story surrounding Aqua
Actress Akane Kurokawa, who appeared in the “Love Reality Show Edition,” is also one of the attractive heroines. As mentioned above, she is grateful to Aqua for taking the initiative to save her when she was deeply hurt, and she also begins to have a faint crush on Aqua. Although she has absolute acting talent and ability, she is usually a bit timid and quiet, which makes her a lovely character.
In the “2.5-dimensional stage edition” that runs from Volume 5 to Volume 8, Arima, Akane, and Aqua play the role of a love triangle (in the movie). By competing with Aqua as a stage role, it is an exquisite composition that unintentionally ends up appealing in real life as well.
Although her position is closer to a double protagonist than a heroine, Ruby’s presence is of course unforgettable. When will they find out about each other’s past lives, and what will happen when they find out, is definitely a major point of interest in this work. It is revealed that Goro was her first love for Sarina, which makes it all the more important.
Many attractive heroines appear around Aqua, but what’s also interesting is that Aqua doesn’t have any romantic feelings at all. This is due to his high mental age and the fact that he only has the goal of revenge in mind, but the question of whether or not these things will change in the future is one of the key points of this work that cannot be overlooked.
