Momose Tenka found a reason to try, so she eventually became good at everything she put her mind to. She then met Satou Erika, a girl obsessed with K-pop. She found out Erika, though a bit eccentric, is earnest and dazzling when she performs. That nature is what took the attention of the reason why she’s been so “perfect” all these years. On a whim, she befriends Erika to see why she’s so obsessed with wanting to be a K-pop idol. This is the start of the story of their journey to being idols.

Asahi has a goal to make more of an effort in high school and overcome his insecurities and anxiety. He wants to become a brighter person. That’s when he witnesses the theater club and joins with the intent to improve his communication skills through acting. A senpai has his full attention as he seems to transform when he performs.

I watched this as an anime first but, aside from being able to hear the music, the manga gives you so much more feeling. After I finish a chapter and I have to wait for the next one I get this feeling of anxiety that maybe I shouldn’t read what comes next but once I get to it, i’m instantly addicted. The different types of romances, character types, overall personality that you can find in this are so complex and heart-wrenching while still maintaining hope and humor in the best way possible.

I fell in love with the way mc just falls into her roles. She’s like a completely different person and the duality (?) is so striking that I can’t get enough of it. Unfortunately it’s an extremely slow-burn typa romance so the entire manga feels very drawn out. It can also get pretty frustrating to see them do stupid shit when they act so smart (or at least normal) otherwise
