Shizuka is determined that Arisa was the reason why everything bad happened to her. Manabe explains this to Tsubasa and explains that Shizuka is out to get her in any way possible. On the trip, Shizuka wished that Arisa's most precious thing would be taken away from her. This scares Tsubasa and Tsubasa is convinced that the KING will hurt Midori because Midori is Arisa's most important person. She goes out to find Midori but she gets pushed and she becomes unconscious. Manabe later finds out tha...more
I'd have found the end of this volume considerably more suspenseful if the excerpt from volume 6 included afterwards didn't defuse all the tension. Not Ando's fault though, just a bad choice on the part of the publisher.
I'm really losing patience with Arisa's classmates. They're such a mean spirited easily influenced group of individuals; I can't imagine why Arisa would ever have been friends with any of them. Maybe that'll be the final twist to the series: Arisa really has been King all along b...more

Arisa is a multiple layered story with mystery elements. I highly recommend starting at the beginning and reading in order.

An apparent old friend of Akira now has three of the five phones of the chosen, along with a nasty grudge against Arisa. Tsubasa has to figure out what this means for the King's game, while continuing her charade, trying preserve Arisa's relationship with her boyfriend, and t...more

3.5/5
This was actually a little better than the last one.
So the first bit is about the trip they go on, and has the normal kind of drama. Tsubasa is dealing with Shizuka, who hates her. Tsubasa is trying to get all of the phones back from her, and then Shizuka makes a wish to take something important from Arisa. Tsubasa immediately thinks of Midori-kun, and into a trap set by the King. Manabe comes and saves her, but their class had to wait for her to get back in order to eat, and they think she...more

It was interesting to hear the background story of Shizuka - makes it easier to understand and somewhat sympathize with her about why she hates Arisa so much. Although that was cleared up, the identity of the king still remains a mystery. I'm also curious what is Manabe's exact role in this whole mess. He seems to be hiding quite a lot of secrets. Good thing I have vol. 6 on hand to read soon!
I just read volumes 2-5 today and I have to say, why did it take me so long to get back to this series?
This is an excellent series with nice tension and of course, gorgeous artwork. The tension is the best part and while it's starting to become clear as to who KING is, there's still a reasonable amount of doubt.
The only problem I have is that the volumes aren't coming out soon enough!

While I couldn't care less about Kudo or whatever the new dude's name is, I really like the addition of Shizuka, and here we find out Manabe's connection to Arisa. Yeah, this isn't like the best story ever or anything, but it's certainly entertaining!

While this is by no means a great manga-it's good and pretty creepy since it's about bullying and betrayal and power.
Sort of back to some realism.
