Those words can't be lies, can they?

The movie arc has been set up since the first volume, so I am so so excited to get into it. Also we are killing Marina Tendouji with hammers, I can tell you that much.

I've thrown away the naive thought about being happy.... I'll use all possible means. Even Arima... if I must

These last few volumes have just been a straight build up and it's getting me real excited, that's for sure...

- I'd go to hell with you if you just gave me the word. 
- I have no intention of taking you to such a place with me. I'll go there by myself.

Oh yes, this is the kind of action i love from this series!! Ruby having her villain era, Akane proving once again that she is the smartest character in the series, Aqua having even more mental breakdowns, perfect stuff 🤌

My assumption might have been wrong, after all. It's not Kana-chan who's obsessed with Aqu-tan. It's him.

I love that Ruby is finally becoming a main player! This one is just a more fluffy volume, filled with variety show hijinks.

God surely is kind, isn't he? He brought two people who never had a mother in a real sense, and a mother who gave birth to soulless children, together. Perhaps... there is more to that than meets the eye.

YES, YES, THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Also, like, is anyone saying that Aqua and Ruby are narrative foils?? Like, is anyone saying that???

People who lack something are great... The way you guys act is similar. This kind of acting belongs to those who are lacking something.

I got my eye on Kindaichi, that's for f-ing sure...

You want to compete with me, don't you? Or perhaps you want us to dance with our swords? That sounds like a fun proposal.

Living for the Kanakane in this one, obviously

She wants to understand others and be understood, but she can't do that, so she's suffering.

I like theatre, and I like stories about actors, what did you expect??
