It could have been great but this thing is literally made out of plot holes. We never resolved the “drug” that was a mint. The issue with the seme literally giving a band mate a nearly career ending injury and dude just coming back like nothing happened. The coach was never dealt with and wtf was his jealousy of hide-san? Not to mention he put the whole group on the front page of a gossip rag for…to get someone to quit I guess? Did the Ike just give up his entire hopes of a dancing career? Did they ever actually decide they were going out or we just still shagging in toilets years later. And that’s another thing..it went from a “final tour” then… years later… and they on another final tour. Why the time skip we didn’t resolve the first things then we just left them dangling. The art was fantastic, the angles of looks and a lot of the perspectives were awesome. The expressions were so cute. The story premise was even decent and a lot of the actions were fine for moving the plot along but there were many times that the plot broke down on the side of the road and the story just left it there. Overall worth reading and I’d read it again but now I know.

Renta:Shuto was once a pop star. Now, he's an office worker with a normal life... Except, his former-fellow-bandmate Chiharu, a walking reminder of his broken dreams, is mooching off him! Chiharu has no aspirations in life except to occasionally act in adult videos. When Shuto can't take it anymore and tries to kick him out, Chiharu pushes him over, promising to "thank" him for his hospitality...!
