Cute, light-hearted shoujo manga, Mito Aoi breaks the stereotypes with this fresh series.

Tachibana Akari is a fanatic of pop culture most specifically, of idols. She became friends with Onda, her co-worker, who's also a fan of this type of pop culture and they started to get along until Onda confessed his love for Tachibana, and now she has to juggle between having a boyfriend and having an idol... but their hearts are one and the same, so things might just be more fun than what it might look like.

My gratitude to Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced reading copy of this series in exchange for an honest review.

 Thank you Netgalley for the eARC! I loved this manga and thought it was so cute! I was a bit skeptical of Onda-san at first because he was so mean to Akari, but when they both realize they love idols, he turns into a huge softie. It was really interesting to see how they balanced their relationship with their love for their fav idols. I really liked how supportive they were of each other with their idol activities and can't wait to read more about how their relationship progresses!

This is so cute! Tachibana and Onda have been friends and coworker for a long time. Coming together with there shared love of idols. This follows the start of there relationship from friends to a couple.
The art is cute and expressive and I can't help but get excited for every page. I can't wait to see how there relationship develops and to see there continued support of each other in the things they enjoy the most.

 Definitely a great opening volume for this series.

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

This was an adorable romance! Onda and Akari are two coworkers and friends who are both idol otakus. They keep up on their idols and go to events together but when Onda confesses his feelings for Akari, they decide to try out being together and navigate their life as they grow closer together. 

I absolutely loved this from start to finish. It was really cool to see Onda be interested in a male idol and also very supportive of Akari still liking her idol when they began to date! Their relationship was also adorable and it's so hard to write a review when all I want to do is just flap my hands and shove this at people. I also really liked that this didn't end on a cliffhanger, because their relationship was going so sweetly and I would have been disappointed if something sudden and drastic happened. This is overall a soft, fun shoujo I would really recommend!

This manga followed a girl who works in a cafe, and both she and her male coworker love a specific idol (though they love different ones). Shortly after the beginning of the manga, he confesses feelings and the two of them begin to date, 

I liked that both the main character and the love interest loved idols and could relate with their interests/passions in that way, They were cute together, but there wasn’t much establishment of their relationship and there wasn’t a ton of romantic chemistry between them - though maybe that will change in future volumes.

This book was seriously entertaining!  We follow two characters that work at the same cafe and have the same obsession: idols.  Due to their shared passion, they become a couple and attend idol events with each other.  They are also both terrible at communicating and actually being a couple.  I'm eager to check out more of this series.

 This was a super cute and quick read. Male idol fans are always treated really differently from female fans so I could totally understand Onda-San’s feelings. Their relationship blossoming over this shared interest and the fact that they could be their genuine selves with each other was adorable and heart-warming. The artwork was beautiful!
