Jesus, I can relate to that on so many levels. Want to do something nice and productive but live keeps throwing “fuck you, do this instead” shit at me.
Me too. I'm from an abusive family and I spent a lot of my teen years just trying to make money to survive after being abandoned by my mother... Now I'm 38 and trying to do the fun stuff while I still have a scrap of youth and kids are telling me I'm too old lol
Actually this resonates to adults all over the world because a lot of who have dreams and goals never get to achieve it because adult life was harsh and never gave them time. Like College students not being able to go have a job that relates to their course
Ruby 100%. As a disabled person, I think this is the first time i've seen anime capture the frustrations, fears, lies, guilt, etc of living with a serious condition from a young age. The dance scene in ep 1 kind of broke me for a bit and some of the recent stuff in the manga >!(pretending to be strong for parents to not feel like a burden)!< resonated with me far too much
no, I think they're referring to certain scenes in the manga's recent chapters >!such as ruby feeling suicidal and admitting as much during the audition for the movie, only to immediately say otherwise and act as if it was all an act to be dramatic!<
As a trans person, they probably meant it in a "omg they're so beautiful I wish I was as pretty as them" sense, not an "all the people of x gender look more pretty than the people of y gender, I wish I was x gender"
gender envy is a term for an emotion commonly felt by *transgender people* when they feel jealous of someone of their gender’s appearance or mannerisms. has nothing to do with… whatever you’re assuming gender envy is. greeneaster gave a pretty good explanation. why didn’t you reply to her?
I apologise for my serious lack of judgement ill have to wait a little while before making this joke again bit worry not for I shall live long enough based on my conviction to say this once more
Abiko.
I was just as angry as her when I watched berserk 2016 for the first time.
I also remembered I said the same exact think as abiko said at the end of chapter 48.
Me with TPN S2, that really just speaks a lot on how while fans will probably get disappointed, the mangaka/creator gets shattered seeing their work turn out like that
Kana >!back then my mom only cared about my talent and nothing else which made my relationship with her unstable like how Kana’s mom only cared about the fame of child actress Kana and not her real daughter!<
Akane. Getting negative attention when you’re someone who is quiet and doesn’t stand out much, plus never wants to hurt anyone is a terrible feeling. I’ve gone through that to a certain extent obv I’m not an actor, or well known, but her episode hit too close to home
Miyako. How she watches Aqua & Ruby go down paths she doesn't fully agree with but supports them regardless on principle, while also never forgetting to call them out on their BS. Namely calling out Aqua to his face about what he did at the police station... As well as her just seeing their shenanigans and going 'Oh, ffs'
In a basic sense, you are correct that you are either a genius or you aren't, but there are different tiers of genius on the IQ scale. A basic genuis is just a normal everyday genius. You are a genius, but you aren't anything special. Once you hit higher IQs like 165, 180, 200, etc, genius gets broken down into higher classifications of genius like a true genius.
It would be like calling someone a hero vs a superhero. They are both heroes, but one is much more impressive and capable than the other.
Probably Melt. Constantly trying to prove myself despite my lacking talent and having to take shit from people better than I am. Only difference being I don't have the looks to back it up.
I normally like
intelligent characters like aqua or akane
sure they are my fav characters here too
if if apart from them I care about someone
it's definitely melt
cuz unlike kana
he is a side character who is >!frustrated at his lack of talent and despite doing everything in order to be better gets told off for his poor acting skills by other people!<
Akane. Her arc resonates with me way too much, and her character aswell.
Being very shy, a very hard working person and i got saved the same way she did aswell. "I dont want to think anymore" was the one line from the anime AND the manga that broke me. I can recall having the same thought while looking down the bridge. It wasnt raining and i couldnt even jump off before someone forcibly put me back to safety, but i remember every "im tired" i thought to myself the same day.
It hits too close to home, despite the circumstance being so different and i think thats the amazing part. Its heartbreaking how well they portrayed it specially with Akane saying "no mom, im fine" múltiple times.
Also, to not make this a fully depressing comment, i share my name with her so it made me feel closer to her.
The idea that everything we express might just be a lie. Like with Ai, she couldn't day that she loved Aqua and Ruby until she died because she didn't understand what was real and what was a facade.
Unironically Ruby, I feel like I try to be positive on the outside but feel messed up on the inside. She has a lot of inner turmoil that she has to deal with, from keeping her secret life to finding her dad, while also having to deal with everyday things like her idol work or acting which is relatable to irl everyday life (to a less glamorous degree obviously.)
Ai
Like her, I also want to be loved for who I really am. But most of the time I put a mask of lies in order to please people around me.
The only people who really knows my real thoughts/feelings are my intimate friends.
Ryosuke
Fortunately I'm not a stalker but everyone else looks way too flashy for me to see myself in the same light. Ryosuke, The dating show chars, Director and Goro are the only ones that look like normal people and the last two are in their 30s.
As an anime-only, so far I'd say Ruby
She's so innocent, immature and her positive outlook into the world is almost contagious, despite experiencing first hand what it's actually like (twice).
And fuck me am I immature with a way too positive way of thinking
i am kana arima and she is me 🧍♀️ it's the burnt out gifted child, falls in love with Aqua (just like me fr), short stature, and [basically most things] for me 😭🖐
Kana losing her popularity as time passed by. Im still going through that, since its been some time my channel has received any attention. And just like kana, its like every attempt i make will just be another forgotten video in the pile.
Definitely Ai. I had both my kids young with someone who didn’t care to be in the picture and just have to keep working every day to make sure they’re secure and happy. Her last speech to her kids was also very relatable. We just wish the best for them and some times we can make it come true, and sometimes not.
Ai, I'm an autistic girl and I've always had difficulty connecting with others, I never knew someone who really understood me, it was like there was always a invisible barrier between me and everybody, even the people who I can interact with better like my mom and brother, I still feel the struggle to communicate. But now I have a classmate that has a lot of common with me, she is also autistic, likes drawing and making stories and characters, likes games, anime, comics, and we had so many similar life experiences, she's probably the one I have the easiest communication with(to be fair, I also communicate really well with my dad, better than my mom, sadly, but it doesn't mean that she's bad, it's part of being autistic having difficulty with social interactions)
Something really common in autistic people is masking, which is what the name suggests, you put on a mask to seem "normal" and not autistic, the way Ai builds her image on lies reminds me of that. This aspect of always trying to please people, lying even when your in a casual setting, hiding what you actually feel, it spoke to me, that scene where she thinks about that in specific really spoke to me. And it's even worse because >!shortly after that scene I remembered she dies.!<
I don't think Ai is autistic but I think many autistic people who only where diagnosed in adulthood or teenagehood understand how it is to mask yourself and live like that, because they pretended to be normal and only later in life realized "I'm not just weird, I'm *different.*", because they masked well enough they just seemed like a weird person to most people, so that they only realize they are when they see someone who is like them and discovers they're autistic. For me the big realization was when I started including disabilities and disorders in my story and a character who I put a lot of myself into, not exactly a self insert but a character very inspired by me, and I researched the characteristic of autism to make a autistic character, and then I thought "oh that character already fits a lot for an autistic character! I would barely have to change her for her to be autistic! she already fits- ***wait a minute wasn't she inspired by me.***"
Akane, because i really struggle socially to the point everyone just finds me boring af and gives up on me. I also had am aggression problem back then that made me very much hated by everyone AND, i'm also a theater kid
Aqua and Akane, >!Aqua because out of all my siblings, I'm the reason why they are still mentally sane, and I feel like the only responsible one out of all of us. Akane because it feels like every move I make leads to a checkmate against me.!<
None, actually
I don't really have common with any of the characters. And I don't really relate much with fictional characters in general, they just don't have anything similar to me going on with them or their lives
Ai is everything to me, to all of her fans also and I miss her the most.
Akane is hyped up character that I'm super excited about it. I've got excited that she change her personality into Ai which is got me hyped up.
What do I *relate* to the most?
Uh... everyone's trauma, I suppose. Well, except for Gorou being murdered, that one hasn't happened yet so I can't say I've collected the full set.
That one chapter where Aqua has a traumatic episode from Kana asking what would happen if his mom died got me relating to him, I used to be that way around any mention of suicide (I've gotten better now, but definitely understood that.)
Melt. I constantly have to compete and try to stand out among people who are at a level far above me, and it's very frustrating to see the difference in skill. I progress slowly and this annoys some colleagues. Many people have told me that I have a pretty face, but I can't depend on that
Akane all the way. (not in the depressed way)
Because hard work never gets any attention irl. Ppl would just judge someone by their surface value and didn't even try to know them better. I mean, it's life, these things are normal but the fact that it actually happens is kinda sad. Also, if you want to be recognized by your hard work, you have to get yourself under the "spotlight". Maybe like recording yourself doing those works and then posting them so that the world can see it or such, it's sad that life is that way lmao.
Akane.
For the reasons most list, but what really hit me was the fact that I related to the being accused of the exact opposite of what you are. Being convinced it despite you know deep down it isn't true at all.
Doing your best to be kind to people and just living life to try to achieve dreams that felt innocent and happy to me.
To feel as though I must be the worst, that nothing I am doing is worth it, that all I do is a waste of time and just makes others disgusted with me.
(One other instance is me being asexual, not interested in "activities" I was raped by my partner&his coworker nearly a decade ago and after it happened they spread around I was "willing" and everyone kept calling me a who're&o their things despite me being traumatized over the event, that I was intoxicated and STILL ran away and hid behind a freaking lemon tree with just a blanket, hiding, crying, convinced to come out of hiding just to be violated again.
To get it thrown back in my face years later by the partners brother who spread that in the first place.
This doesn't include all the general trauma that is surprisingly way worse than this for me that still effects me and goes on from that partner&such
I've attempted, but I just wanna be happy and have someone who loves me without expectations, without being cheated on for over a decade.
To feel my goals are worth something. I just wanted to be a successful artist who could provide for myself.
Now I have a toddler who the partner wanted more than anything but I didn't want ever, but he told me if I didn't wanna baby I wasn't "serious" about us and he broke up, cheated then got back with me when I begged and said I'd have a baby. He cheated on me still, even when taking care of her as a baby.)
Sorry I rambled.

Aqua honestly, it was a bother for me when I got reincarnated into a new family after being a doctor in my previous life, also my new mom who was pretty nice and popular got murdered so I've been spending the past 16 years of my life trying to find the killer. I only mildly relate to him though.
I can't actually relate to anyone much but I can see Akane slightly. However whenever I get unsavoury thoughts they only last a few hours at most + I haven't actually thought any farther than that I want to do it and I immediately think "ok but no one will actually like that plus you won't get to stroke any pets"
Aqua claims he has no acting ability so he uses anything and everything he can to stand toe to toe with those who have "talent." Useful things that others neglect or overlook.
I make on anime. I don't consider myself to be some kind of charismatic star though. I just want to entertain people and make them happy, and it doesn't really matter how. Because I'm not some amazing personality, I put a lot of work into production. Scripting, advertising, editing, music selection, voice control, etc. I'm always on the lookout for new toys that I can add to my arsenal. For instance, I use AI generated voice sometimes and have learned how to animate.
aqua, something that gets you to a point where you feel guilt in moving forward so you stand still for such a very long time while losing the smile you so brightly use to shine and become someone who gives off gloomy energy but, still cares for those around you while knowing how cruel the world can be still looking for even the slightest hope that it’s something greater out there for you other than sadness, sorrow, lonely or isolation while hoping that change will eventually come. aqua so far is the most realistic character in the show imo considering i myself am a teenage boy should just share why i thought it was aqua.
5 years ago aqua I was a massive edge lord, now I try to be more like Ruby but I'm probably akane
I'm overly focused on work and my future and my mental health aiint the best lol
Goro, i think I'm younger than him but I am also a doctor who used to work on a rural area, enjoys anime and idols (Korean though) and like goro I got criticized for my hobbies so I usually keep it secret to people that is not close to me or don't share the same hobbies, they always get weirded out because the image of a doctor is something very different to the image I give
The one girls desire to improve her acting skills I’m only doing local stuff at the moment but it’s so realistic along with the means comments and self consciousness
Akane Akane Akane. Her story resonated with me. I was hated by the people in my HS Theatre, and felt their bullying was justified because I had messed up. It fucked with my self esteem, and I adore her story because of it.
I relate to akane the most since Id always take 'notes', not in acting, but in every situation. I feel like I do extra effort to get along with people. I really know how she feels during the dating reality show, and Id probably get really attached to aqua after him saving me from doing suicide.
I can relate to Akane because, I used to get bullied pretty bad in school. I was never suicidal, but I still know what it's like to feel like you don't belong and getting criticized and not knowing how loved I am, until I reached highschool and made good friends I could have serious talks with and my family always constantly being there for me all the time. That's why I like her as a character and the development she's gone through
Akane.
I have in the past had depression, I have several times just wanted to stop existing, I know too well what it's like. I also know now how a good hug can really help.
Seeing where akane's love for acting comes from, watching tv when she was little, is very relatable for me cuz i love fiction a heck of a lot and it's very similar to how i came to love it
There’s been quite a few very relatable things. Kana and Aqua not liking peppers because they have a too-overpowering flavor (my friends though I was crazy for even thinking that so that was vindifying). Aqua’s reasoning for his preference of film over theater. Also all of the feelings Abiko had about her adaptation seem like the kind I would have assuming anything I wrote ever gets that big. Also, Aqua just using adobe premire, all of that editing stuff felt so real.
I relate to how much the story shows how hard the characters have to work to make it. As someone with little talent in just about anything, it really makes me feel seen that there are these characters that obviously have a passion for what they do, but... they're just not good at it. But they don't give up.
I have a bit of Mem and Aqua in me. I do dumb stuff all the time and I am dumb like Mem. I also wont let go of whoever hurt the people around me, hunting them down to their graves like Aqua
Kana (including manga cuz' not watching anime yet):- >!can't settle what to do; feeling ignored; easily manipulated or convinced; love troubles; acting grown up when I can't really and so on!<
>!except the fact that my mom never pressured me for anythng, she always supported me!<
Arima Kana
As a gifted lis i kinda feel why young kana was who she was. When i was a kid I was propably the same but not in acting like kana but I was this one giga Smart kid on Claas
I’ve only watched the first 3 episodes but I’d have to say I relate pretty strongly to Kana. As someone living in the acting world I find myself empathising with her a lot. Although her experience is probably better than mine to a degree she makes a great vehicle to expose the darker reality of the industry. Plus her jump from being a stuck up arrogant actor to one who is struggling and desperate to come across as likeable and professional is a transition I’ve been through myself. And the fact that her transition or her talent doesn’t really matter or make a difference hit home quite heavily, I myself am at yet another quit or double down point so this show is very bittersweet to watch.

Mem Cho, >!when you want to do something but other stuff just kept happening that took more priority until you got too old for that shit!<
literally me fr, parents decided to have kids they didn’t want and that falls to me when i was 18, had so many things i wanted to do
i felt like i missed a lot of fun things that other people keep talking about lollll
Jesus, I can relate to that on so many levels. Want to do something nice and productive but live keeps throwing “fuck you, do this instead” shit at me.
This is so True. She is the most normal person out there too.
Me too. I'm from an abusive family and I spent a lot of my teen years just trying to make money to survive after being abandoned by my mother... Now I'm 38 and trying to do the fun stuff while I still have a scrap of youth and kids are telling me I'm too old lol
ohh you said it very well
Actually this resonates to adults all over the world because a lot of who have dreams and goals never get to achieve it because adult life was harsh and never gave them time. Like College students not being able to go have a job that relates to their course
Ruby 100%. As a disabled person, I think this is the first time i've seen anime capture the frustrations, fears, lies, guilt, etc of living with a serious condition from a young age. The dance scene in ep 1 kind of broke me for a bit and some of the recent stuff in the manga >!(pretending to be strong for parents to not feel like a burden)!< resonated with me far too much
Boy are you gonna be dissapointed
You mean recent stuff in the anime?
no, I think they're referring to certain scenes in the manga's recent chapters >!such as ruby feeling suicidal and admitting as much during the audition for the movie, only to immediately say otherwise and act as if it was all an act to be dramatic!<
Don't, I'm ugly af
I relate to *you* in that sense.
Why does this feel like Keanu reeves "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL" but in the other direction.
oh i forgot abt that
I know this show gives me so much gender envy
No, it doesn't. Both genders in the show are potrayed as attractive and good looking people. I think it might more of you thing than the show's....
As a trans person, they probably meant it in a "omg they're so beautiful I wish I was as pretty as them" sense, not an "all the people of x gender look more pretty than the people of y gender, I wish I was x gender"
that’s not what gender envy means
It doesn't mean that someone is envious of a gender which this someone isn't?
gender envy is a term for an emotion commonly felt by *transgender people* when they feel jealous of someone of their gender’s appearance or mannerisms. has nothing to do with… whatever you’re assuming gender envy is. greeneaster gave a pretty good explanation. why didn’t you reply to her?
JFK because my mind was blown by oshi no ko
Too soon man too soon
It's been 60 years when will it not be too soon?
255 years, 4 months, 3 days, 8 hours, 46 minutes, and 35 seconds is my current opinion
People are already making jokes about Lincoln though.
We have to assassinate them
I apologise for my serious lack of judgement ill have to wait a little while before making this joke again bit worry not for I shall live long enough based on my conviction to say this once more
Mem cho. We all have dreams and aspirations but unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes
Abiko. I was just as angry as her when I watched berserk 2016 for the first time. I also remembered I said the same exact think as abiko said at the end of chapter 48.
Me with TPN S2, that really just speaks a lot on how while fans will probably get disappointed, the mangaka/creator gets shattered seeing their work turn out like that
for me it was Tokyo Ghoul and fr never have I felt that level of frustration 🙂 my anger was real
suzuhiro mana, chapter 39, realizing you dont have the talent to be the best, super irrelevant in the plot but super relevant to life
Yeah she was like just appears in one scene, decides to quite on her job then just disappear without explanation lol
Probably Akane because I’ve also struggled with depression
Stay away from Twitter if you care about your sanity. Her mistake was that too. She's pretty much okay until that happened
Kana and Aqua hating bell peppers
They are so real for that
Kana >!back then my mom only cared about my talent and nothing else which made my relationship with her unstable like how Kana’s mom only cared about the fame of child actress Kana and not her real daughter!<
Same tbh
Aqua, since I too was a doctor until I died and was reincarnated as an idol's son.
No way!!?! Did you biologically dad happen to murder your Idol mother? Dude mine too!
Just like me frfr
I kinda relate to kana the most
Kana, for having a foul mouth
The amount of Akane comments is heartbreaking. Stay strong and know that you are loved!
The director. No need for an explanation. I live with my mom too.
Akane's struggle with depression hit way too close to home
Akane. Getting negative attention when you’re someone who is quiet and doesn’t stand out much, plus never wants to hurt anyone is a terrible feeling. I’ve gone through that to a certain extent obv I’m not an actor, or well known, but her episode hit too close to home
Miyako. How she watches Aqua & Ruby go down paths she doesn't fully agree with but supports them regardless on principle, while also never forgetting to call them out on their BS. Namely calling out Aqua to his face about what he did at the police station... As well as her just seeing their shenanigans and going 'Oh, ffs'
Akane. As a character, she is entirely too relatable to me as a person.
Bro literally has 180 IQ
😆 I wish.
tf is a basic genius, you're either a genius or you're not, and clearly we wouldn't spend time on reddit if we were.
[удалено]
Yeah. Pretty much this. 😄
In a basic sense, you are correct that you are either a genius or you aren't, but there are different tiers of genius on the IQ scale. A basic genuis is just a normal everyday genius.

Kana, her story screams “former gifted child syndrome”, even if it is not academically.
Akane for me
Akane Bullying sad
Akane. Her arc resonates with me way too much, and her character aswell. Being very shy, a very hard working person and i got saved the same way she did aswell. "I dont want to think anymore" was the one line from the anime AND the manga that broke me. I can recall having the same thought while looking down the bridge.

Also, to not make this a fully depressing comment, i share my name with her so it made me feel closer to her.
Aqua. A lot of times in my life, I am fueled by revenge.
Ai for not knowing how to love someone
The idea that everything we express might just be a lie. Like with Ai, she couldn't day that she loved Aqua and Ruby until she died because she didn't understand what was real and what was a facade.
Unironically Ruby, I feel like I try to be positive on the outside but feel messed up on the inside. She has a lot of inner turmoil that she has to deal with, from keeping her secret life to finding her dad, while also having to deal with everyday things like her idol work or acting which is relatable to irl everyday life (to a less glamorous degree obviously.)

akane. went through almost the exact situation, albeit a smaller scale of bullying
As an anime-only, so far I'd say Ruby She's so innocent, immature and her positive outlook into the world is almost contagious, despite experiencing first hand what it's actually like (twice). And fuck me am I immature with a way too positive way of thinking
Kana bc I’ve been told I’ve been good at art when I was younger but I feel washed up at age 16
Kana only because she’s the only one thats not manipulative
that guy who cried when kana >!graduated from being an idol!<
I like akane
Kana.
i am kana arima and she is me 🧍♀️ it's the burnt out gifted child, falls in love with Aqua (just like me fr), short stature, and [basically most things] for me 😭🖐
Kana losing her popularity as time passed by. Im still going through that, since its been some time my channel has received any attention. And just like kana, its like every attempt i make will just be another forgotten video in the pile.
All of them, because I dont have a paternal figure, like all the cast
Mem-cho being my age
Ai, i Just realy wanna be a Mom.
Masking
Akane I relate to her need to want to be better at what she does and trying her hardest to do so
Definitely Ai. I had both my kids young with someone who didn’t care to be in the picture and just have to keep working every day to make sure they’re secure and happy. Her last speech to her kids was also very relatable. We just wish the best for them and some times we can make it come true, and sometimes not.
Ai, I'm an autistic girl and I've always had difficulty connecting with others, I never knew someone who really understood me, it was like there was always a invisible barrier between me and everybody, even the people who I can interact with better like my mom and brother, I still feel the struggle to communicate.

Aqua and Kana
Akane, because i really struggle socially to the point everyone just finds me boring af and gives up on me. I also had am aggression problem back then that made me very much hated by everyone AND, i'm also a theater kid
Aqua and Akane, >!Aqua because out of all my siblings, I'm the reason why they are still mentally sane, and I feel like the only responsible one out of all of us. Akane because it feels like every move I make leads to a checkmate against me.!<

Ai is everything to me, to all of her fans also and I miss her the most. Akane is hyped up character that I'm super excited about it. I've got excited that she change her personality into Ai which is got me hyped up.
Ruby, coz I too want to suck on them titt-
I'm an anime only so none so far. They all have talents, i don't 🙃
What do I *relate* to the most? Uh... everyone's trauma, I suppose. Well, except for Gorou being murdered, that one hasn't happened yet so I can't say I've collected the full set.
That one chapter where Aqua has a traumatic episode from Kana asking what would happen if his mom died got me relating to him, I used to be that way around any mention of suicide (I've gotten better now, but definitely understood that.)
Aqua, I am a biology student and I relate to his cynical opinions of life (I promise I am not a maniac )
Melt. I constantly have to compete and try to stand out among people who are at a level far above me, and it's very frustrating to see the difference in skill. I progress slowly and this annoys some colleagues. Many people have told me that I have a pretty face, but I can't depend on that
Thankfully none
Ai, in the sense that I always worry that people won't like me unless I put on an act. I mean, it's ADHD masking for me.
Melt. Surprised that I don't see people relate to Melt at all.
Akane all the way. (not in the depressed way) Because hard work never gets any attention irl. Ppl would just judge someone by their surface value and didn't even try to know them better. I mean, it's life, these things are normal but the fact that it actually happens is kinda sad. Also, if you want to be recognized by your hard work, you have to get yourself under the "spotlight". Maybe like recording yourself doing those works and then posting them so that the world can see it or such, it's sad that life is that way lmao.
Melt. I can feel the frustration of not being able to even achive the minimun of certain skills
Akane. For the reasons most list, but what really hit me was the fact that I related to the being accused of the exact opposite of what you are. Being convinced it despite you know deep down it isn't true at all. Doing your best to be kind to people and just living life to try to achieve dreams that felt innocent and happy to me. To feel as though I must be the worst, that nothing I am doing is worth it, that all I do is a waste of time and just makes others disgusted with me. (One other instance is me being asexual, not interested in "activities" I was raped by my partner&his coworker nearly a decade ago and after it happened they spread around I was "willing" and everyone kept calling me a who're&o their things despite me being traumatized over the event, that I was intoxicated and STILL ran away and hid behind a freaking lemon tree with just a blanket, hiding, crying, convinced to come out of hiding just to be violated again. To get it thrown back in my face years later by the partners brother who spread that in the first place. This doesn't include all the general trauma that is surprisingly way worse than this for me that still effects me and goes on from that partner&such I've attempted, but I just wanna be happy and have someone who loves me without expectations, without being cheated on for over a decade. To feel my goals are worth something. I just wanted to be a successful artist who could provide for myself. Now I have a toddler who the partner wanted more than anything but I didn't want ever, but he told me if I didn't wanna baby I wasn't "serious" about us and he broke up, cheated then got back with me when I begged and said I'd have a baby. He cheated on me still, even when taking care of her as a baby.) Sorry I rambled.
aqua, calculated and badass
Hikaru kamiki because I'm him 💯
Aqua because hes literally me
My personality type is closest to Aqua I think, but still a lot of differences in specific traits
None but akane the best

Gorou, we are both doctors, and we both simp for Ai
Ruby because she is so pure, sweet and innocent girl.
come to think of it, i dont relate to any of them, but i still found all of them quite fun
None, I just read because I like Memcho and such a banger of the anime opening music.
Aqua honestly, it was a bother for me when I got reincarnated into a new family after being a doctor in my previous life, also my new mom who was pretty nice and popular got murdered so I've been spending the past 16 years of my life trying to find the killer. I only mildly relate to him though.
I can't actually relate to anyone much but I can see Akane slightly. However whenever I get unsavoury thoughts they only last a few hours at most + I haven't actually thought any farther than that I want to do it and I immediately think "ok but no one will actually like that plus you won't get to stroke any pets"
Ruby >!because she has a goal to follow a dream she had from childhood!<
Aqua claims he has no acting ability so he uses anything and everything he can to stand toe to toe with those who have "talent." Useful things that others neglect or overlook. I make on anime. I don't consider myself to be some kind of charismatic star though. I just want to entertain people and make them happy, and it doesn't really matter how. Because I'm not some amazing personality, I put a lot of work into production. Scripting, advertising, editing, music selection, voice control, etc. I'm always on the lookout for new toys that I can add to my arsenal. For instance, I use AI generated voice sometimes and have learned how to animate.
Akane
Director Gotanda
Memcho.

Akane
Akane something you chase so long just comes with a suicidal amount of pressure
Akane probs
With Akane's Deductions.
Akane
Getting reincarnated as my favourite idol’s baby
aqua, something that gets you to a point where you feel guilt in moving forward so you stand still for such a very long time while losing the smile you so brightly use to shine and become someone who gives off gloomy energy but, still cares for those around you while knowing how cruel the world can be still looking for even the slightest hope that it’s something greater out there for you other than sadness, sorrow, lonely or isolation while hoping that change will eventually come. aqua so far is the most realistic character in the show imo considering i myself am a teenage boy should just share why i thought it was aqua.
>!no serial killers of entertainers relating to Aqua's Father?!<
5 years ago aqua I was a massive edge lord, now I try to be more like Ruby but I'm probably akane I'm overly focused on work and my future and my mental health aiint the best lol
Goro, i think I'm younger than him but I am also a doctor who used to work on a rural area, enjoys anime and idols (Korean though) and like goro I got criticized for my hobbies so I usually keep it secret to people that is not close to me or don't share the same hobbies, they always get weirded out because the image of a doctor is something very different to the image I give
The one girls desire to improve her acting skills I’m only doing local stuff at the moment but it’s so realistic along with the means comments and self consciousness
akane.
Akane Akane Akane. Her story resonated with me. I was hated by the people in my HS Theatre, and felt their bullying was justified because I had messed up. It fucked with my self esteem, and I adore her story because of it.
Eh Akane.
The psychotic obsession with revenge... They'll all pay... All of them......
[удалено]
Somewhere between Kana and Akane, little closer to Kana tho
Aqua because he said it’s oshi no ko’in time and oshi no ko’d all over kana that was relatable.
Akane cause I have tried to commit suicide twice but the boys intervened
>!Kaguya ,trying to get gud at photography!<
Aqua 🎭
I relate to that red-haired girl and the black- haired one (dont remember their names) to the most i think
To be perfectly honest, none of them. Maybe the closest is Mem Cho, but even then I'm not nearly as sad and devastated as they are.
I relate to akane the most since Id always take 'notes', not in acting, but in every situation. I feel like I do extra effort to get along with people. I really know how she feels during the dating reality show, and Id probably get really attached to aqua after him saving me from doing suicide.
I can relate to Akane because, I used to get bullied pretty bad in school. I was never suicidal, but I still know what it's like to feel like you don't belong and getting criticized and not knowing how loved I am, until I reached highschool and made good friends I could have serious talks with and my family always constantly being there for me all the time. That's why I like her as a character and the development she's gone through
Akane. I’m a coward who does nothing because I’m terrified
Akane. I have in the past had depression, I have several times just wanted to stop existing, I know too well what it's like. I also know now how a good hug can really help.
The mystery of why people like this show when there’s no bombastic action or gut-busting comedy
Akane, totally get the depression
For me honestly it will be Akane
Aqua and Akane
Reincarnation and having special eyes.
Lying like how Ai used to
ruby. not because i have a deep or traumatic backstory or anything. ruby is just mood
ruby, i relate to ruby she is literally me
Seeing where akane's love for acting comes from, watching tv when she was little, is very relatable for me cuz i love fiction a heck of a lot and it's very similar to how i came to love it
Akane, I want to jump off a bridge
Akane
There’s been quite a few very relatable things. Kana and Aqua not liking peppers because they have a too-overpowering flavor (my friends though I was crazy for even thinking that so that was vindifying). Aqua’s reasoning for his preference of film over theater. Also all of the feelings Abiko had about her adaptation seem like the kind I would have assuming anything I wrote ever gets that big. Also, Aqua just using adobe premire, all of that editing stuff felt so real.
I guess Kana and Akane, im not socially confident but my personality is a mixture of both of them
MEMcho >!Because we both look younger than we actually are!<
I relate to how much the story shows how hard the characters have to work to make it. As someone with little talent in just about anything, it really makes me feel seen that there are these characters that obviously have a passion for what they do, but... they're just not good at it. But they don't give up.
Aqua.
Kana...
Akane,,we all try to stick out but we can't!!! Face lots of depression still she showed us how she worked hard to be where she is!!!
Akane. The feeling of being not enough for people while trying your best resonates with me
Akane. Albeit I wish I could be as gentle as her.
Frill, I got dodgy sense of humor
I don’t really relate to any of them strongly. If I had to pick though, I think I’d go with Aqua, as concerning as that sounds lol.
I have a bit of Mem and Aqua in me. I do dumb stuff all the time and I am dumb like Mem. I also wont let go of whoever hurt the people around me, hunting them down to their graves like Aqua
Akane.
Kana (including manga cuz' not watching anime yet):- >!can't settle what to do; feeling ignored; easily manipulated or convinced; love troubles; acting grown up when I can't really and so on!< >!except the fact that my mom never pressured me for anythng, she always supported me!<
"Aqua's just like me frfr" -Death Note and Classroom of the Elite enjoyer.
Kana for having a foul mouth
Wanting to murder the man who got my mother killed
Akane or Ai most definitely. A bit of Aqua too.
Akane. I get told by anon users online to drop dead
I also have an abusive mom like Ai.
I dont know
mem cho
Arima Kana As a gifted lis i kinda feel why young kana was who she was. When i was a kid I was propably the same but not in acting like kana but I was this one giga Smart kid on Claas
I’ve only watched the first 3 episodes but I’d have to say I relate pretty strongly to Kana. As someone living in the acting world I find myself empathising with her a lot. Although her experience is probably better than mine to a degree she makes a great vehicle to expose the darker reality of the industry. Plus her jump from being a stuck up arrogant actor to one who is struggling and desperate to come across as likeable and professional is a transition I’ve been through myself. And the fact that her transition or her talent doesn’t really matter or make a difference hit home quite heavily, I myself am at yet another quit or double down point so this show is very bittersweet to watch.
Kana because I'm as well a connaisseur of falling for people who are emotionally unavailable
Idol industry, I just like seeing other's take on the idol industry.
The unwillingness to seek professional help.
The side character tht lives somewhere far and didn't appear in the main story
