ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Idol(24)

I find it cute and amazing how 2 of these author's stories got connected through this manga. First story was fine. It's super short (ch 1-2), so it went too fast too furious. The MC's trauma just disappeared ~with the power of love~... which I didn't even feel. Ch 3-4 are extras from Ijiwaru Shinai de. I'm happily surprised that they can be a standalone story. I'm saying this because I genuinely don't remember anything about that manga (though I got the vibe that I read ch3 before (it's ch 5.5 in the original)). Still... Same comment. Too short to get into it. Also, since it's an extra/sequel, we don't really get any seme x seme drama since they already have their roles assigned from the original. The third story, a one-shot unlike the other two-chapter stories, is ironically the one that has the best pacing (except for the sudden bj lol, it just had to had smut so it's there for that reason).

Ch 1-3 is the titular story. It's fine, not bad but not good either (lol, I'm remembering that genshin simp again that said that this just means it's bad fine, it's bad). As the manager/friend of Arihara said, he is naive. This makes it feel as if Arihara's love may not be the same as the MC's. Like seriously, all it has shown is Arihara feeling down because the MC suddenly ghosted him, staying away from him while looking hurt. Even for a friend, you'll feel bad if you know you made them feel bad. Basically another case of a manga being too short so you can't feel the romance. Ch 4 is a one-shot about an actor x a normal person. Too bad it's a one-shot, it has a potential. Ch 5 is about a guy with a hair fetish finding his ideal hair.

Lol, poor chairman, he won't ever see his great grandchildren from his own grandson and his grandson/secretary since they're both gay well, they could always adopt, but it's too early for Noble members to have children when they're still climbing the charts. Hmm, I kinda want to see more about Max. Ngl, I felt disappointed when the drama with Max started so suddenly (well, yeah it got hinted way before, but it seemed forgotten and suddenly returned to the story) and ended suddenly as well. That's a lot of suddenly. Lol. Simply put, there was no build-up at all. Another thing I'm sad about is that Leo, LB and Tarius didn't have a comeback together. Just LB and Tarius because they're the couple the arc was focusing on... But what about Leo? :( (and ngl, I still don't like Tarius after all that's happened)
