The only small gripe I have with the art in Arisa is when certain characters would make evil faces, as these were always overly twisted and hideous for a bunch of middle school kids. Also the mangaka likes to feature Arisa (the sister) and Tsubasa in various outfits and hairstyles on the covers and on the pages before the manga, which was really beautiful. I didn't really care for the male character designs, but I probably would have found them attractive if I was a bit younger.

I especially loved how the mangaka drew the sisters' hair, as it was always portrayed to be perfect and flowing regardless of the situation they were in. The lines are crisp and clean, and the female characters' eyes are all sparkly and huge. But that didn't hinder my enjoyment of the manga, and there were numerous moments in Arisa (the manga) that were genuinely mature and insightful.Īrisa has absolutely gorgeous artwork, if you enjoy very girly shoujo-styled artwork. There were times when the characters' motives were rather far-fetched, to the point of being ridiculous for a bunch of 13-14 year old kids. She was such a refreshing change from the average helpless shoujo protagonist, and in some ways I disliked Arisa (the character) because she reflected the latter archetype a lot more. Tsubasa really is an endearing lead, and I loved that no matter how tough things got for her, she would always get right back up and try to fix things. One of the main reasons I was able to forgive some of the plot conveniences in Arisa was because I was so invested in the characters. The demographic may be shoujo, but much of the drama in Arisa focuses on non-romantic elements. Arisa is also not your typical shoujo manga, as it relies on mystery and suspense rather than romance to advance the story. However, I found myself so engrossed in the story that I overlooked a lot of these finer details, and I feel that anyone else who gets really into this manga like I did will probably experience the same thing. I won't doubt that many people will pick up on various plot holes and bullshit moments in this manga. Now, I'm not going to pretend that Arisa's story didn't have flaws. The subsequent twists and turns shape this manga into a very interesting psychological thriller, albeit involving middle school kids. From the very beginning, a mystery is presented in the form of Arisa's attempted suicide and Tsubasa's resulting desire to find out why her twin tried to kill herself. The story of Arisa was never a simple shoujo school romcom. That, along with various recommendations online for this manga really got me intrigued, and I ended up speeding through Arisa in a couple of days. I always found myself fascinated with the premise of this manga even before I began reading it, because it had the "psychological" and "shoujo" tags on MyAnimeList but not a tag for romance, despite the girly art. Seeing the extent to which the "King" will go to fulfill these requests, Tsubasa must uncover the King's identity and how all of this involves her beloved twin sister. Believing the occasion to be a strange joke, Tsubasa does not take it seriously until someone is hurt in the process. Now posing as Arisa, Tsubasa witnesses her very first "King Time"-an event that takes place every Friday during fourth period where a wish of Arisa's classmates is randomly granted. Determined to uncover the truth behind Arisa's suffering, Tsubasa decides to go undercover to find out. Telling her sister that she knows nothing about her classmates' secrets nor her own, Arisa attempts suicide in front of Tsubasa's eyes. Upon returning from school that day, Tsubasa recounts how amazing her experience was to Arisa, who is horrified to learn that she is still jealous of her life. Learning of her twin sister’s envy, Arisa proposes to Tsubasa that she attend school in her place. In contrast, the feminine Arisa is the perfect class representative who achieves good grades and has many friends.
