What do you think about Ari's feelings for Max?

He was a little boy when they turned him into an eraser. Look at the Manga. He's terrifying! I guess his innocence combined with his adult knowledge didn't mix very well. I don't think he loved Max "Like That" But he did have respect for her. He loved Max like a big sister but at the same time wanted to prove he was the stronger of the two. Itex made him into a monster, it wasn't his fault. He was just doing what he knew to do, his love for his half-sister getting in the way as he did.

At least...that's what I believe.

Ummm...He was her half-brother...that would be wrong...plus he was half her age...and Eraserfied...so no...i don't think so

ari looked up to max like a big sister, not 'like that'

ari is max's half brother. he looked up to her like a big sister. he wanted to be like her (i have 2 younger brothers. i know.). it wasnt his fault that she hated him. he just wanted her to like him, to love him like a big sister would.

I agree!!! In book 2 when he was fantasizing about max reminding him to take his pills and stuff. I always imagined Ari on a throne shirtless with max sitting on the armrest in a long white goddess dress rubbing his shoulder and then Ari having attend to something but before he gets up he turns his head and max gives him a kiss on the mouth! That's what I think Ari's fantasy was!
