Alr so from what I can rmbr:
- it's a manga (this I'm 100% on)
- the mc is a fan of this idol group and she goes to their company to audition to join a girl group (I'm a bit iffy on this)
- she ends up transforming into a dude (also sure abt it being gender bender) in the elevator
- I'm pretty sure the ml is a member of the group (not her bias tho) who thought she was stalking them or smth
- she ends up auditioning to join a boy group after transforming
When i read it there was only 1 chapter out and it was a while ago so some of this might be wrong but pls and ty lmk if u know what it is
Yo. So, does anyone have any recs of manga/hwa/huas or animes that have an empty, atmospheric and depressing vibe? Preferably w lots of background sounds/ sfx kinda like "Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu" and "Serial Experiments Lain"? Tyy~ in advance
you could try ghost hound, perfect blue and shiki then. all of those are anime not comics tho :/ if u want comics u could also try Starving Anonymous but again idk if those are the vibes you're going for. i haven't watched this one but girls last tour also seems to be lonely and desolate but again idk for sure cuz i haven't watched it.
Btw if anyone wants to read smth similar to wjat i asked for, stuff I've prev read/watched and rec are: (apart from the 2 examples i gave which r top tier lol)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/massacre_happy_end/ (kinda has torture porn vibes but tbh I've never read a story w gore and female characters where that wasn't the case so it's probs not surprising to anyone lol)

https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/boku_dake_ga_inai_machi/ (watched the anime, hate the way the TWENTY NINE (29) YR OLD mc keeps blushing around children but if u can get past that it's decent enough)
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/a_second_goodbye_to_you/ (ass ending imo but the start was so good it's still worth reading)
Icl i kinda hate this kinda trope where the character the mc transmigrates into was abused and bc of that trauma they act in ways that ppl don't find pleasant which results in the og character being treated like shit but then the mc transmigrates and they basically change their personality to ppl please and *suddenly* everyone gives a fuck that "oh the poor little child is so little and they were neglected". Btw don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on this manhwa specifically (or at all) and there r many other stories out there w this trope, e.g death is the only ending for the villainess, but idk it's sad to me and makes *all* of the other characters v unlikeable bc they only seem to care when trauma is expressed in palatable ways, i.e. when someone acts like a "perfect" victim
I second. The ones where MC transmigrated into a traumatized protag that has the same trauma as them are kinda excused, but I'd rather read the OG person overcome. Especially without reading a book about the future, or going back in time. I'm tired of MC knowing the future (once again isekai where MC knows nothing are kinda excused) but I'd still prefer an MC who is fantasy native! Not transmigrator!!! Grrrrrr
