Video Girl Ai, Vol. 12: Close Up by Masakazu Katsura
4.0
In the early volumes of this series, Ai was a firecracker. She provided the slapstick, the fun and the verve to the series, yet somewhere along the way, the emotional demands of the series pulled her down, forcing her to deal with the demands of real life and becoming, potentially, a real girl.
This book goes a long way toward building Ai back up into the character whom Yota fell in love with all those volumes ago. There is life, animation and fun. And there are tears and regrets also. Most intriguing, the origin and intent of the video girls is hinted at, and the revelation of why Ai exists is probably going to rock the series pretty hard in the next (and final, I believe) volume.
The fun is coming back, even if the series could've been shorter by at least one book. I'm glad that I stuck with this series until the end.
