Akane once again proving why she is the absolute best. Also she knows Aqua very well. Really excited to see how she is going to be involved in the film. And they declared Ruby as the victor too.

Yeah thought I was right afterall, Ruby won!!! It doesn't really imply to her as she needs to keep on practicing because she's way behind acting compared to others but hey there is always that one kid in the shadow who got talent in the back, and Ruby's a potential one. Aqua at the end though...

Akane might be the best girl, but too bad she doesn't have the aid of plot like dude does. Really sorry for her as to how they'll make her lose the bet in the end :(

for me, she's an interesting and unpredictable character that often moves the plot. she was understandably depressed when she was struggling on the reality show and then made a mistake that led to a witch-hunt on her. as for being the good guy, she's the same person who purposely hid the information regarding a loophole over aqua's dad and then later kept the true identity of aqua's dad to herself because she saw how miserable the revenge was for aqua and ultimately she just wants him to be happy. if she truly cared about the revenge then she would've told aqua about the loophole and the identity of his dad immediately. and a few chapters ago, she mentioned how aqua has gone too far and can't be stopped when she saw the extent he was willing to go for his revenge (leaking ai's secret) and now she wants to help him.

Is everyone just going to ignore the fact that Frill literally figured out Aqua's plan just from reading the script? That girl has had 0 involvement with the plot whatsoever and had no clue about Ruby and Aqua's intentions. Sure, that script may be cut and clear with who's villainized in the movie, but to correlate that into real life? Frill is a lot smarter than we get to see in the story.

I'm quite satisfied with ruby's straight out saying it on akane's face that ai is her mother and she knows her mother emotionally more better than anyone else
Ngl just because akane knows how to act ai doesn't gives her the right to think ai's character naturally belongs to her she was quite overbearing during the whole process until she's remind of it who is ai child here but I think nothing is fixed here yet there's still a chance ai's character can be played by someone else coz what kana is doing no one knows.

Eh, knew that Ruby was ultimately gonna get the role. So whether or not Ai forgives her murderer is a vital part of Ai's portrayal in the movie - it seems Ai had forgiven him based off of what she said to him (it may have been another lie but I don't think it was) moments before her death, but Ruby might not think so. Don't know if Ruby will be able to do an accurate job portraying Ai since she's biased as her daughter and fan, but we'll see I guess. Based off of this criteria alone, I think that Akane would've been a better choice. But storywriting-wise, Ruby was the obvious pick for the role and maybe Ruby understanding her mother's thought process may be an important development in the story. Wish we were at least actually shown how Ruby's acting improved instead of the narrator just outright saying it. Love seeing Akane and her awkwardness, she's adorable lol.

That was kind of a disappointing way to end it, with Ruby's perseverance winning. Yes, she was apparently getting better with each round, but if they had to do so many rounds, that means Akane was still the more convincing one overall. I'm wondering if Akane could still potentially get the role in the end, since it's not entirely up to the three of them? Although I'm not sure if Aqua wants Akane to get the role (but the director and producer will probably get the most say due to investors and other factors).

Akane gave up the role to Ruby. Later in the chapter, we see Akane meet Aqua, she intends to cease Aqua's plan from going forward. Whether she will succeed in her goal is something that we still can not confirm. The complications her actions will bring might end up killing her as well, but there is a chance that Aqua had planned for that possibility.

I don't really get what Akane is trying to do, how could Aqua kill someone with a movie script? 
If the movie confirms that Hikaru is the murderer, isn't it a good thing? That everyone will know who killed Ai and get him behind bars? 

I don't really get the idea of wanting to get some role in the movie, does it help her gain anything? Unless she wants to ruin the movie, which I also don't really get why?
I know she wants him to be free and happy, living his life to the fullest, and she had her ups and downs regarding that, but tbh this chapter left me so confused, and him being wary and alert of her is really weird...

akane mentions afterwards how she'll get an offer before ruby but she'll turn it down and ask for a different role. IMO aka made akane too OP when it comes to ai since he even had aqua say before that akane understands ai even better than him and we all know aqua understands ai better than ruby so logically akane understands better than ruby

I was thinking despite that, what if they make it clear that she's the best fit for the role, maybe she will change her mind? But yeah, highly unlikely lol. I also doubt people (readers) would be happy if the tole is taken away from Ruby.

Akane was never interested in killing Hikaru for the sake of killing him. She would do it if it means Aqua can live happily. Hence why she tried to kill him on her own without telling Aqua at all. Now that he's trying to go down in flames, she's against it, because she doesn't want him to throw his life away. She's the Naruto to his Sasuke, mid metaphor though it may be.
