A review by linluvsbooks
Not Your Idol, Vol. 1 by Aoi Makino

dark emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Ending of vol 2 pissed me off though. 
Looking forward to vol 3 which the author has been able to return to after a 5 year hiatus for health reasons. 

The themes are heavy and I think handled realistically for the setting - high school. I’m less interested in the mystery than the students’ perspectives and growth and in the love story, but that’s just personal preference.
