Kasane Chapter 126 Discussion

Well, the series started out pretty interesting, but the characters were very fake and one dimensional in the long run...

The concept and story were interesting, if only it was an actual seinen and not another 'seinen' which gets it's title for including rape scenes, it could have been a darn good manga.

But that's as far as positives go... let's go onto characters - our protagonist: having over 100 chapters of an adult person thinking she is any special just because she is ugly is annoying... I can speak much more how terrible she was, but that would end up taking too much space... more than she deserves.

So with protagonist out of the way - let's go more into other characters who could be called main.. Neena - disappears too fast to leave impact. The two mothers backstory - meh, at best.
Nogiku was the closest to what could have been a good character but her build up gets ruined in just a few chapters and she becomes yet another one dimensional character.

All of those downsides are supported by the terrible theater concept.. theater was an entertainment which should have been long dead, yet still exists. It's fake, it's overly dramatic just a place for weak people to express their fake selves, I guess in a way it's a great place for the weak cast of characters we got, ironically.

There are countless more actual plot flaws I could mention... the most important one being the fact that even using lipstick sparingly, she should have ran out in half a year at most... No one even begins to bring up that problem till the very end, which made me very confused as that's the first thing that passed my mind, I thought it would be a story of how she only had half a year to live the life she wanted, which would actually be interesting to watch instead of what we got.
Another major flaw was how everyone tried to create some incredibly elaborate plan of revenge or whatever else wishes to come true instead of doing things that would lead to the solution much more easily...
The whole multi face swap thing was contradicting the way it should work. I could again continue with more minor gripes, but that is unnecessary at this point.

To end on a positive - it was mildly enjoyable, despite not being worthy the masterpiece and 'hidden gem' praises everyone throws at the series it's still something worth a read... the ending premise even almost made me want to raise the score bar slightly higher.. but in the end it ended up on a pretty slightly better than average note.
A strong 7 is what it gets, could have easily been much better, but too many flaws and characters being too fixated on something and feeling fake instead of real sadly can't get deserve much more.
