I really pity Kana,she should've make her shot a long time ago

 

[___DEKU___]

Bruh don't tell me he's still using Akane because he wanted to stay away from Kana to avoid any type of scandal? Brooo I mean, yes but no

And also, if it's the main story arc, does that mean that Akane is the one portraying Ai? Ohhhh ooof

 

[Sknite]

Holy shit I've been trying to find the source of "she is my wife" for like a decade. Thank you so much.

[Cuteflamingo]

It's never been more over kana brothers

 

[Ruhaye]

Aqua must pay for making kana cry!!!

Things will go off the rails when Aqua finds out that his father is still alive:
Akane is fine with Aqua being a psycho, but Kana will slap some sense into him.

Tbh with the amount of self pity Kanna is drowning in it really looks like for some reason she'll end up with Aqua or they'll acquire a replacement somewhere. Can't have an idol group of depressed girls only.

Can't give enough props to Miyako, single mother of two children that aren't even her own and running a business as well.
She really deserves that husband who was promised to her by two babies ages ago.

Sounds original to me. There's idol groups doing that kind of thing no?
I'm not into that kind of music but I think I've seen somewhere idols doing metal and stuff

Uhhh while I'm no music expert, saying metal or similar genres are made for or by depressed is probably a hot take

Anyway, I think(?) I meant to write something like "If the majority (2/3) of the group's members seemingly don't enjoy being an idol anymore, that's not a good thing." (for various reasons).

That's what I like about Kana, I feel like she'd set him straight and make him pursue his own happiness over revenge. He already died once and got a second chance at living and overcoming his regrets. Akane seems like the kinda girl who will enable toxic behaviour from Aqua even if it hurts him or both of them, and that for me isn't a great thing. Her approach of trying to be a supportive partner is all wrong.

Okay so I just realised that akane seriously caused this incredibly fragile reality:

1. Akane not telling Aqua that his father is likely alive caused multiple things:
-Aqua is just fucking around now, just having "fun" with his carreer (though he may be unsatisfied/unhappy because he didnt find the killer/a part of him knows the killer is likely alive)
-Aqua being freed up means he was able to finally have a relationship with Akane.

2. Due to Akane helping Ruby figure out that Aqua was seeking revenge on the killer by rising in showbiz, Ruby possibly STILL thinks that her bro is on this mission (though I might be wrong on this). Cause god knows that these twins do NOT communicate well at all. I'm not really sure how this affects Ruby (maybe it helps her be calm that things will work out?) but at least if she figures out he gave up it will cause a huge blowup likely. There is also the possibility that Ruby started looking for the killer too but I'm not sure on that.

3. This is copium for Kana enjoyers but we could also blame Akane for making Aqua realise he can't have a relationship with Kana because she reminded him of how difficult things would be because Kana's an idol (reminding him of his mom's death... on purpose?!?).

So if we wanna be REALLY mean to Akane we could say that Akane is a master manipulator so that she can be with Aqua. Knowing that Aqua will leave if he finds out about his dad being alive.

Though I doubt the whole aqua ruby misunderstanding was her plan. I think we can likely at least blame her for not telling Aqua about his father partly out of greed to keep Aqua with her. I think this manga is well-written enough for that to be true eventually (and not just Akane making an oopsie...).

Keep in mind this is assuming not much changed in character motivations in the past 6 months. A lot of this might be wrong, and is hinging on Aqua having given up on the hunt.
