3.5

really love the characters and art style, but the way the stalking subplot was handled was very disappointing. overall, this manga handles a lot of serious topics (CSA, bulimia, the various pressures put on women/girls in the spotlight) , but it's a mixed bag on how well those are resolved. I plan on continuing with the main series (and hope it has actual yuri elements - am I wrong in thinking this was a yuri? I swear I've seen it categorized as such).
