But still, the main characters of Ryuki are familiar to everyone. The idealistic Shinji, the conflicted Ren, the slippery lawyer Kitaoka, the psycho Asakura. With each of these, albeit not in such bright guises, a person has met at least once in his life (well, the lucky ones heard about those similar to Ouja in the news). And how often do we get types like Ace or Michinaga? Such characters simply need a deeper disclosure, but all his attempts on the show come down to self-repetitions. I mean, we're getting close to the end, can you tell me why Ace had to cheat on Keiwa in the second episode? Well, apart from the fact that it is necessary to explain to the audience that he is a liar.
