| pokoko said: Argh. I just caught up to Liar X Liar and I'm already sad that now I have to wait for updates. I thought that it would kind of flounder after the initial concept ran its course but that wasn't the case at all. At chapter 52, it's as good as ever--actually, I think it's better now, with a different side of the conflict coming out. It's very well written in that the story has not out-paced itself. The entire situation has changed and yet the weight of everything that has happened is still there, keeping the characters from understanding one another. I like this manga quite a bit.
Akira is a girl who is in love with being in love. She's like a drug addict who is desperate to regain that magical feeling. She was using Hiro even if she didn't know it. Else, I think she would have realized how shallow he was. Instead, he check the right boxes by being handsome and popular, which was enough for her. In that regard, I totally understand why Oka was annoyed with her. That being said, I still can't help but feel really bad for her. Hiro really is a piece of crap. |
Yeah, it became very apparent when she became a terrifying heartbreak monster. The latest two chapters really do put her in a bad light, and looking back, I dunno if I would say she has many redeeming qualities, aside from just being a lil bratty. Still, as you say, I still feel bad for her. Not only did she date a crappy guy, but despite that, before the Again!! she seemed to have had a good time in high school. Now she's just been miserable.
Dance my pretties!
