Arisa, Volume 6

The King tries to kill Shizuka, and Shizuka finds out that Arisa is in a coma and Tsuba is pretending to be Arisa. Shizuka gives Tsubasa a URL that leads her to find Arisa's chat with the King............ Was it really Arisa's idea to eliminate people who doubt the King???

Bonus pic: The story of Arisa and Tsubasa's background and how they got separated. It was very emotional and it breaks your heart when you read further on........
slow-paced

It's still pretty good so far. Liking it about the same. Really flying through these volumes, so it's an easy read for sure. Do recommend so far.

~3/5
So this series is seeming to continue to drag on, and I'm hoping that it gets to wherever it's going, the climax or revealing the King or Arisa waking up, soon. Something to stop these constant, meaningless problems that keep coming up.
Almost all of this volumes focuses on the problems surrounding Shizuka. Tsubasa tries to make Shizuka happy and not focused on her revenge with Arisa. It doesn't really work, except that Tsubasa ends up getting hurt and Shizuka walks in order to get help. Although, I didn't really see the meaning in her walking? I guess it was supposed to be momentous and whatever, but I just found it dumb, when she could have, much easier, used her wheelchair instead. It kind of makes a difference, as Shizuka is going to give the phones back, but instead the King sends her a message and changes her mind. And then Shizuka messes up the house and attacks her guardian. It pretty much brings everything back to how it was in the volume before this.
Shizuka is psychotic again and wishes Arisa out of this world. Manabe takes her phone, and Shizuka then finds out that Arisa is actually in a coma. Manabe then 'officially' teams up with Tsubasa to find the King again, even though I don't think he really turned against her since a few volumes ago (two, maybe?). But then the King decides to grant someone else's wish, where the person with the cellphones gets taken out. Shizuka freaks out, Manabe takes them, in order to throw them away I think, but ends up getting hit by a car instead. Shizuka, who feels terrible and is emotionally unstable, decides to move away. Tsubasa is upset, but I am glad.
Before she leaves, Shizuka gives Tsubasa a URL, the supposed secret that she knows about Arisa, which leads her to a chat room. Her and Manabe hack into it, and discover some chats between Arisa and the King, and it reveals how it all started. It's been inactive for a while, but when Tsubasa sends a message, the King responds. Also, I'm pretty sure that it's revealed in this volume that the King is Kudo?
At the end of the volume, there's an extra chapter. It's about Arisa and Tsubasa and how they reacted to their parents splitting up. Tsubasa reacts badly, while Arisa accepts it, but they're both hurt. They have a fight, and then make up and decide to send letters to each other everyday.
I'm hoping that, in the next volume, some more big things are revealed and the plot move forward some more. A lot would be nice, but I don't really believe it's going to. That's pretty much all I'm hoping for, actually. The series is just alright at this point, and I want it to get better, to move along already.

On the subject of the Arisa revelations this volume: I have faith, sisters forever, if Tsubasa believes she couldn't have been the horrible person Shizuka thinks she was I am riding that train with her. Who could possibly think otherwise after that side story? Adorable connected sisters, you can't tell me Arisa could have turned cruel without Tsabasa noticing.

Man, I was super invested in the redemption of Shizuka this volume. Do you know how upset I was when it seemed like King was going to succeed in turning her away from from Tsubasa? I shut the book so I could have a couple minutes to yell about how he is such a life ruiner, ugh, why won't you leave already douchebag.

Also Ando is mean with her cliffhangers. I need to know what's up with that chat room y'all. I need to know right now. 3.5 stars
