but he actually put one under her mom's chair. Arisa gets stabbed while protecting her mom, and Midori escapes. He goes to see Arisa in the hospital but gets captured by Tsubasa and some cops. In a surprise twist, Midori is stabbed by Osawa (remember him? the guy whose wish resulted in his crush being temporarily blinded). Arisa confesses to Midori that she still loves him. Midori ends up in a juvenile detention center (I think?), and Tsubasa visits him and tells him that Arisa is waiting for him. Bonus manga: A flashback to Arisa visiting Tsubasa's school to try to figure out why Tsubasa thinks she might soon be expelled.

wimped out and revealed that the guy who was supposedly killed a few volumes ago was actually just pretending to be dead - somehow a whole classroom full of people transported him to a new room and never realized he wasn't really dead, and somehow he stayed quiet while Tsubasa was locked in with him. And even if he was pretending, that still doesn't excuse all the times Midori hurt and almost killed fellow classmates.

How did Osawa manage to hide in a room that the police had supposedly prepped for catching Midori? And why Osawa, of all people? I had to go back through my notes to remind myself who he was, and I'd only read the volume he last appeared in (volume 4) a day prior.

he plans to come clean about his crimes after the summit allows him to see his mother again. But Tsubasa wonders if that's true, and so she goes to the orphanage where Midori lived since he was abandoned at age 3. She learns that he was a twin too, and Akari, his twin, died after their mom abandoned them for more than a month. She had trained them to fear going outside, and so they didn't try to leave until it was too late. Tsubasa decides that what Midori must really want out of this summit is revenge against his mother, so she tricks Arisa and takes her place again. But Midori knows immediately that it's her. It turns out that he already knows where his mom is, and his true goal is to get revenge against the entire world.

to stay with Midori, even knowing that he was a murderous and messed up little monster.

Even if Akari died of neglect, that's no excuse for Midori injuring and murdering people and Arisa and Tsubasa opting not to report it to anybody. Does no one remember the dead body? And the multiple badly injured students, some of whom could have died if things had gone a little differently?

to be killed by an explosion in Rei's house, but Rei saves Tsubasa because they both care for Arisa, and he wants Arisa to be saved. Arisa sneaks into the hospital to see Rei (and Akira? my notes are confusing). Tsubasa finally learns more about what happened between Arisa and Midori: Arisa was the King, at first, but got depressed because everyone had started complaining that the King only granted easy wishes. She couldn't bring herself to grant a wish with a stolen test answer sheet, so Midori took care of this wish in her place. Then, when she was sad that her mom had chosen to go on a trip on her birthday instead of staying with her, Midori pushed her mom so she'd break a bone and have to stay at home. Despite all of this, Arisa says she's going to stay with Midori on her own.

"You really are boring." WTF kind of mother says this to her child? I can't believe that stupid story about Arisa and Tsubasa's mom preferring Tsubasa was actually true.

felt abandoned by her mom, who seemed to prefer to be anywhere but with her daughter. However, that wasn't a good justification for her decision not to tell anybody about what Midori was doing. The volume with the flashback to Tsubasa and Arisa running away when they were younger showed that Arisa was capable of going against even her own twin when she felt it was necessary, so why didn't she tell anybody about Midori's actions? She could have stopped everything early on, and yet she chose not to. And ugh, the wish. She knows Midori is capable of killing people, so why did she wish for the King to get rid of her?

Like Arisa, Midori felt abandoned by his mother, who literally left him. And again, that isn't a good excuse for what he did. I'm probably supposed to feel more sympathy for him than I do.

shocked she's awake even thought he hasn't gotten rid of Tsubasa yet, so Midori knocks him out to keep him out of the way. Then Midori visits Arisa and says something to her (reminds her of her secret) that prompts her to go back to class with all four phones. She says she's going to protect the class, but then she sees Tsubasa and acts like she hates her, like the things Rei said about her being afraid their mom preferred Tsubasa over her were true. Tsubasa goes to Rei's house with Midori and Midori kisses her and then knocks her out with a pill and ties her up.

hurting her twin and setting her up to be offed by the King (the wish she transmitted on the phones is pretty unambiguous, considering what the King has done up to this point: "Get rid of my twin sister."). I'm also annoyed at the indication that that stupid story about Arisa being worried their mom liked her sister more might actually be true.

drug Tsubasa via a pill he forced into her during a kiss. Are you kidding me? Besides the general grossness of the whole situation, I want to know how something that knocked Tsubasa out that fast didn't affect Midori in the slightest. He had to have had that in his mouth for at least a few minutes.

She chooses Midori and then races to the abandoned warehouse where the class is supposed to catch the murderer. He's there, but he gets stabbed, possibly by someone in the class. Rei collapses, and while Tsubasa gets help, Midori asks the King to help the class get rid of the body. Readers are told that Midori was the King all along and Rei was helping him because he thought Arisa was afraid that their mom (the parent she'd been sent to live with) liked Tsubasa better than her. Tsubasa's true identity is revealed to the entire class and she gets locked up with the body. She escapes, and Arisa finally comes out of her coma.
