lilithespark's manga / #sooo sweet~!(2)

I liked it! The story was pretty good. It’s really fluffy, yet sad at the same time. It has the sad moments and the happy moments, and I’m glad they had a sweet ending in the end. I REALLY didn’t like the glasses guy, though. Bro tried to rape the ML and still got a redemption? Nahhh he’s a horrible dude through and through. Anyway, really liked the theme of moving on all that. A heartwarming, relatively light read.

I didn’t like how the plot progressed at first, but it got better as the story went on I think. The way the conflict was resolved felt refreshing. The Sumika Sumika showed others was also a part of her, persona or not. So questioning the difference between the TV Sumika and her real self might not have mattered all that much. I liked the themes of teenage friendship/angst, and contrary to what others might think, I actually liked the romance! Sure, it wasn’t typical, and it didn’t exactly have a label, but I think these types of romance are quite underrated. Ito definitely grew as a character, from someone who’s bland to someone who actually takes initiative. I liked when the author was a little more subtle in the storytelling, too (e.g. them discreetly telling us that Sumika’s uncle is gay). Overall, this was an interesting manga exploring the idol fantasy.
