I’ve read up to chapter 28 in Arisa, I’ll update my review when I pick this up again later.

I’ll spare you most of the details but the story starts off with Arisa and Tsubasa who are twins at different middle schools. Tsubasa takes Arisa’s place for a day and thinks her sister has the ideal life. After Tsubasa returns home from Arisa’s class, Arisa says’ her life isn’t actually so ideal. Tsubasa doesn’t know the secret in her class or even Arisa’s own secret. With that Arisa attempts suicide and falls out her bedroom window. Tsubasa is left to solve Arisa and class 2-B’s secret.

This one you just have to stick with it. Around chapter 9 I was rolling my eyes. It becomes very repetitive in many ways. Series of characters appear, you’ll peg each one to be the king but after the chapter ends you have no choice but to rule them out. Then new characters are introduced and this process begins to repeat. ..Once you get through all that though, its starts getting pretty good. I really had no idea who the King was.

The bullying is at a whole new level in this manga but I actually found it to be interesting. The king became a dictator or even god to the 2-B students, if you think back to our own world history there similar cases on a larger scale. It’s a new way or looking at things, I came to like what the author did with the class. The amount of suicidal students is a little ridiculous and several students go through momentary period’s insanity. It’s just one of those things you have to let go. Like the fact that Tsubasa hasn’t been to her own school in months and no one seems to notice…
I have my issues with it but at the very least its interesting.
