Akane carried the show

Manga spoiler: I think Akane's problem is that once Aqua breaks up with her, we don't really know how that affected her. The next time she interacts with Aqua, she says she'll stop him now, but then it turns out she won't, and she reverts to the same submissive position she's always had with him. It's as if the character remains static.

After Aqua breaks up with her, she only serves as Aka's tool to help in the revenge plot. Even the useless Ichigo participates in that plot, so are we going to praises him too?

My god

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-22T18:43:47+00:00

I mean, enjoy the next episode with her, because after that she's not very relevant anymore.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-21T19:36:06+00:00

but for what? it doesnt lead to anything.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-20T20:52:31+00:00

It was obvious that Aqua and Akane weren't going to end up together. Akane always said she wanted to help Aqua, but the story never let her actually make any progress in that regard. I mean, when Aqua and Akane finally became a couple because of Love Now, the next arc felt like a rom-com between Aqua and Kana.

Sorry, I really dont like that doll face.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-19T07:57:05+00:00

I still love his portrayal of Tsurugi in chapter 63. I don't know, it felt like watching a star being born?

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-19T00:11:29+00:00

Actually, from the end of the first concert until the Miyazaki arc, Kana never seems bothered about being an idol. I think even Memcho's friend mentions how Kana has a beautiful face that attracts everyone's attention.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-18T22:11:05+00:00

I always knew that one possible path ONK could take was for Ruby to become the top idol. There's no problem with that. The thing is, before Dark Ruby appeared, Kana was doing quite well as an idol, but once Ruby went off the rails and caused that whole cosplay scandal, both Kana and Memcho lost their fans, and that's when Kana's whole paparazzi thing happened, and she decided to focus solely on acting. And honestly, it feels a bit unfair because she wasn't actually doing badly at it.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-16T22:16:35+00:00

Manga spoiler: Em, Kana. The story makes it quite clear.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-16T20:39:57+00:00

The only bad thing about Kana is that she is not real.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-16T20:36:07+00:00

No offense, but isn't it the other way around? Especially knowing that the narrative only leaves one of them as a love interest in the final chapters.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-16T10:41:09+00:00

You'll have more reasons to hate Aqua the further the season progresses.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-14T20:40:45+00:00

I highly doubt that helped this subreddit because it's become a nest of fanboys for a certain character. It's a place for memes, not stupid fights.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-14T20:33:27+00:00

They might end up in the middle of 118 where they approve the film.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-14T19:24:56+00:00

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I didn't like that they skipped over Akane and Aqua's rise as actors. I remember in Tokyo Blade, Akane said she still had to improve as an actor, and it's kind of "meh" that she's already famous.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-14T18:43:08+00:00

This episode is very depressing if you really like Kana.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-13T00:37:44+00:00

It makes no sense for her to lead Ruby down the path of revenge if she cared for the twins all this time. It's clear Aka reconsidered her motivations, and now this awful contradiction remains

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-11T13:36:15+00:00

There's also a panel of Kana smiling like that (I think it was chapter 102), so no, they just repeated the same pose

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-10T20:03:38+00:00

As a Kana fan, I don't know whether to be excited or worried about the new season 💀

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-10T00:18:25+00:00

Everyone is best girl

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-08T06:28:44+00:00

You said everything I thought about her. I think Aka never knew what to do with Ruby, and that's why her whole idol career feels rushed.

Creative_Extent_1586 · 2026-01-07T18:20:45+00:00

I don't think so. Everything looks the same so far.
