the story puts Kana in a really different place than the rest of the characters. She's the only one who has ever actually grown as a character aside from the purple boy from last episode.
Aqua, Ruby, Akane... others... none of them actually grow past their flaws and instead accept their place and personality, but Kana is the only one who actually has doubts and anxiety about her place and how she fell from being a child prodigy into a support character

>>132403I understand a lot of Aqua's stuff comes later, after finding EL PADRE and trying to put things into motion, though from the looks of what the community, ahem,
discusses, it's also fairly slow and there's a good deal of indecision over it. But don't quote me on that.

>>132407I WROTE MULTIPLE PARAGRAPHS! I can't remember everything I said, but it was mostly about how lame and uninteresting the twins were and how only Kana actually had any struggles or growth. As a result Kana was the person that I would obviously cheer for, and she's just generally fun with great faces and reactions, too. Oh, and the best outfits.
I don't know how you make two
magically reincarnated people so boring, but I guess a part of it is to completely ignore their previous lives and the entire premise of the story. I wonder if I should still use spoiler tags for this thing in the first episode of the first season, but I guess I'll play it safe.

Someone somewhere compared her to Bojack. Kind of interesting comparison. Doesn't exactly fit, but feels like Bojack's story is a much more harsh telling of her childhood and career before the events of the series

Did not see the anime yet but when it comes to the manga I can agree with
>>132403, this is probably why I like Kana significantly more than Akane for example.
In my opinion the manga does a good job showing Kana's internal struggles and she herself does a good job instigating a kind of protective instinct in the reader.
I usually dislike any trace of brother-sister romance in media, but in context of
their reincarnation backstory, I find the attitudes of Aqua and Ruby towards each other pretty wholesome (so far).
The latest chapter also builds on that again a bit.My hope for the series is that Aqua will make much more use of his skills and knowledge
from having been a medical doctor in his previous life since he doesn't have to hide his competence in this regard anymore when attending medical school. I assume this aspect of him has been kept out of focus of the story to make use of it in coming plot.

>>132569From what I've seen people say, even here, people reading the manga (not me) seem more interested in shipping wars, which would imply a fanbase that's more heavily female. One of the creators is a woman known for making stuff with suffering involved and I guess she's using her talent for Kana. Do women like Kana? I don't know, but I don't see why they wouldn't. I'm sure the quasi-incest angle is more titillating, though.
I can without reservation declare that I wouldn't have been interested in this show long enough to see Kana if the visuals weren't spectacular, so maybe the anime fanbase has a more even split of genders? There's still moments that kind of put me to sleep, particularly in season 1 when Kana wasn't involved since no one else seemed like a real person.

>>132569The description “shipping wars” that
>>132570 used sums it up pretty well.
I don't pay much attention about which characters are popular in comments as I'm more interested in subtle things other readers notice in the story. Especially in series where subtle behaviorisms in interpersonal relationships can easily fly over a guy's head, it is interesting to read comments female readers wrote about that.

>>132798HARD and i mean
HARD disagree
looking around the three highest rated arcs are the prologue, reality show, and tokyo blade, and the latter fucking dominates
it's got a good deal of characters trying to figure out how to best fit into a complex production by looking at themselves and the role they've been presented, how to adapt to them, with solid conflict and good payoffs
by comparison the showbiz arc is trivially simple (that's the one at the very bottom of the list with 0.56%), prologue fails to be seriously followed up on for a very long time, reality show i still dislike, and first concert i only vaguely recall a lot of explanations for varieté but not a lot of struggle with it
anyways i took a glance at 4/a/ earlier today and a leak came out, they're at each other's throats at a speed of ~3 posts per minute, and particularly shitting on aka
