ALisAnimeLover's manga / #showbiz(17)

No you're not imagining it ;) Currently at ch4, only 1 chapter left plus an extra! OwO

I'd rate this a 5/5 if not for the sudden "you know I'm a virgin" confession. Hahahaha. Although that was his way of saying he liked Tani. Above all, though, what caught my eye is the relation between the story and the movie featured in it. The movie implied that the girl will die, but it turns out otherwise. The manga kinda did that as some sort of subtle parallelism. Whether intentional or not, it's beautiful. Also, gotta love the mature sense of Tani. Would totally want to see more of the couple and how they grow as humans (lol, yeah, my wording is weird). How they'll begin to accept their past, especially Towada, and how the people around them will change, ifever, as well.

Gotta love the mom at the end. Earn twice now that you're Sala and Sara. Hahaha~ It's a bit unfair that Sara's not getting any salary though, the pitfall of being a relative of your boss, hahaha. The only thing preventing me from giving it a perfect 5 is that it needs more chapters. It feels underdeveloped somehow >.<

I'd rate this a single star if Miyano-san wasn't soooo supportive //deym, he prepared a script for all the scenarios.

This is so cute??? I love how they both SINCERELY apologized to each other and talked it out. Hnggghh so nice

1st story is about a model who has a strangulation kink, so his manager buys him a prostitute. The model falls in love with the prostitute and tries to step up their relationship. The story ends with the prostitute blackmailing the model's manager to maintain their relationship (since it's controversial). I'd appreciate it if there was more to this story (*cough* a continuation rather than the 2nd story *cough*). Not much romance, not much character development, and not much story. 4/10 2nd story is about someone who realizes his friend is having an affair with a dude. Due to some circumstances, he lives with the dude and begins to pry on their relationship. Feels like dude used him as a rebound, though the last chapter shows the dude has finally moved on. Friend is shit though. Poor wife. 2/10

I LOVE how they're both mature. This author must like age gaps, lol. The manager was mature enough to resign when he started having feelings. And the idol was mature in his actions, being careful with his advances, knowing his position as an idol and that he needs to protect his reputation. I guess what I liked is how the idol actually wants to be an idol and doesn't say shit like "I'm prepared to leave the spotlight for you" but rather "I'm here in the spotlight, and I'm not gonna let you keep your eyes away from me" Still, there was a part that the plot kinda suddenly jumped. manager: i'm gonna let go; idol: *sings a love song*; manager: nah, scratch that, I really love him which is kinda nice if done correctly, but somehow it feels lacking as if the author was forced to end the manga early so she had to do that :/ I wanna know the love song thooo And totes want the merch if it actually exists

He's possessive... But he's extremely aware of it and is scared of himself, omg.

I just love how supportive everyone is, even the homophobic member turned out supportive and is slowly trying to change his mindset.
