A review by chantaal
[Oshi No Ko], Vol. 3 by Aka Akasaka, Mengo Yokoyari
3.0
This started off as such a wild premise, and as the story continues on past the initial setup to play out the main "mystery", I'm not sure how I feel.
Everything about this volume felt so...superfluous? I get the theming behind everything going on with Akane and the online bullying. But why a whooooolllle volume of this teen dating show, only to end with Aqua being told to meet with Ai's old manager to get info about her? AQUA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS SHOW so why should I?
Plus, I really hope this series deals with how Aqua feels about Ai because that man 100% jerked one out to Ai a least ONCE and he was reborn as her son...and he's conflicted about his feelings about how he feels about Ai...that's some fucked up shit! Let's deal with more of that!
Very reluctantly going to read the next volume to see if things move forward, but I'm close to dropping this.
