I love the trend in anime and manga of acknowledging and commenting on the idol industry’s flaws alongside its strengths. A short but engaging read. The ending might appeal to some more than others but I think it worked (I haven’t read Vol. 2 though, so I’m not sure if the ending of this volume translates well as a beginning for the next one).
