No.1: A perfect balance of work and suspense
The first and foremost attraction of this work is its interesting storyline and skillful composition. The story depicts various entertainment industry jobs, such as “filming a late-night drama based on a manga,” “a romantic reality show,” and “an idol festival,” from both the inside and outside, while simultaneously depicting the emotions of Aqua, who is thinking about how to fulfill his own goals.
The story also describes the budget, the relationship with sponsors, and the salary structure of entertainers, and other quite graphic aspects of the entertainment industry. (What behind-the-scenes details will become known? (What kind of backstory will be revealed?)” and “What kind of mystery will be revealed next? These two exciting questions will keep you turning the pages.
No. 2: The main character, Aqua, is just cool!
Of course, the characters in this work cannot be overlooked as attractive. In particular, the presence of the main character, Aqua, is simply amazing. As an expression of his natural idolism and absorbing eyes, a star-like mark is drawn on his eye, and twins inherit one of his eyes by heredity.
Aqua, who rarely smiles, quietly thinks about revenge, and often speaks pragmatically, appears to be a cold person, but in fact he is very kind and there are several scenes in which he burns with anger for the sake of others. When he works for someone who has been caught up in a dirty adult situation or is being unreasonable, his eyes glaze over and his ability to use his own brain to overcome the situation will leave a strong impression on you.
In the “Love Reality Show” episode, he takes action to save his co-star, Akane Kurokawa, who was exposed to relentless bashing by the public due to an accident and was driven to the point of attempting suicide. The scene in which Aqua, who initially intended to “play it safe until the show was over” for the sake of the show, shows his emotions for the sake of others is a famous scene that eloquently expresses the essence of his character. It is also a great episode that depicts the essence of the work itself, with its realistic depiction of social networking that makes you want to frown.
No.3: “Kana Arima” is teasingly adorable.
Another key point of this work is that it features a number of attractive heroines. Among them, Kana Arima, a former child prodigy and senior student of Aqua and her friends, also known as “Sergeant Chikuso,” has an especially strong presence.
She was in great shape as a “child prodigy who can make you cry in 10 seconds,” and once performed with Aqua when he was a child actor. She was deeply indebted to Aqua for his performance, which shattered her pride and at the same time awakened her to the fact that he was a child actor.
After that, they did not meet for a while, but met again at high school (at which point Ruby said to him, “A genius child actor who licks baking soda?”), and they became known as “The Baking Soda Lickers. (Ruby told him that he was a child prodigy who could lick baking soda, and the nickname stuck). ) They had always been aware of each other somewhere in their hearts, and their reunion triggered a complex mixture of respect and romantic feelings.
She is asked by Aqua to be an idol along with Ruby, in addition to her acting career that she has been pursuing for a long time. When talking with Aqua, you can’t help but smile at her foul-mouthed, easily concealed true feelings. She is one of the most expressive characters in the film, and her many comedic relief scenes are sure to leave a lasting impression.
On the occasion of the release of the fourth volume, which spotlights her greatly, a special website “Arima Kana Genki Kana” featuring her charms was also launched, indicating that she has captivated many readers.
