I am a new fan and I just discover that the manga did not finish and on Hatius(base on what I found on google)? is the author still working on it, drop it, or will go back and finish it?

April 9th was the 40th anniversary of the 1984 anime. I drew both Maya and Ayumi 💞 Happy 40 years to these two eternal rivals.

Rant time:

I'm rewatching Glass Mask and I cannot emphasize how tragic this was. Maya's mother FINALLY, after years of not watching her daughter act, watches her.

That's not even taking into account that she's nearly blind and barely got to see Maya through her blurred vision. Oh, and she dies after that. In the movie theater. Well freakin' done Masumi (can you tell I'm sarcastic).

You know what's the worst thing about this? Maya never got to hear the words her mother wanted to say to her; that she's grown up, that her mother has been guilty about what she's said all this time and wants her to succeed in her dreams.

Alright, rant done. Overall, Maya and her relationship with her mother is so well written.

(CONTAINS SPOILERS) I just finished the 2005 adaptation and I'm feeling so conflicted 😭 first of all, I thought the beef between Maya and Ayumi was a little out of hand. Yes, Ayumi's jealousy had been building throughout the series, but never to such an extent? Ayumi always held Maya in such high esteem, and there was nothing building up to her potentially letting Maya die on the wooden bridge. Ayumi was never made out to be a petty person, despite the fuel of success. Their conflict was left mostly unresolved, and I would have liked to see more of a friendship develop between them. They had chemistry outside of friendship, as well, and maybe Ayumi's "passion" drove her to madness, lol. Chigusa never chose which of them would play the Scarlet Angel, either, and we never got to see them actually performing it in its entirety. Even though I thought the relationship between Maya and Masumi was creepy, granted he's in his mid-late 20s and she's a teenager, I wanted to see that resolved as well. For the sake of Masumi's fiancée, at the very least lol, so she would know where she stood. In the end I was kind of rooting for Masumi despite my better judgement lol, he's genuine in his affection for Maya, but I still think it's weird. I've been hearing their will they/won't they situation has been ongoing as the manga hasn't even been completed yet. So, I guess what I'd like to know is, is there any sort of conclusion on any of these things from the manga? Lol. I've been super invested in this series despite how unpopular it is, so I'm glad there's a reddit for it. I'm dying to talk to people about it

I finished chap 237 i think recently, not sure if anything after that? I need to know the ending :(((

This man can not take a hint. He's out here trying to >!give her dolphin necklaces!<, bruh

I feel like it was a pretty good live action adaptation of a manga/anime.

First are all the 51 episodes Canon do they change it up(doubt that's the case, but need to make sure), also is the anime actually good or not? Or is it better to just read the Manga and if the anime is good what chapter do I start reading after the anime?

The Glass Mask remake was the first anime I ever watched and its melodramatic atmosphere was (and still is) one of my favorite anime. How did you come to watch/read it? It seems to be overlooked by a lot of people despite the quality animation and story.

This is a subreddit for the series Garasu no Kamen, or Glass Mask.

Feel free to post/discuss/ask about the manga, anime, live-action movie or any of the spinoff projects that pertain to the series.
