Not Your Idol · review
I might be over-exaggerating to some people, but I think this manga is seriously incredible ! I love classic shojo manga art with a cute heroine with big eyes. All the characters have been drawn beautifully and I usually take a long time reading this because I'm staring at the art. I have read 2 volumes, volume 2 really hit me hard with the darker themes for shojo manga that was written in here. I love the story because it is NOTHING like any other shojo manga I've read! It does exaggerate the dialogue a little bit (if you read it you'll know), but ittalks about real issues girl face in real life. That stands for boys too, but the manga is talking about the girls. The story is so different from other shojo manga I've read and it's so engaging, I can't wait for them to release the next volume.
The characters are reacting and responding in ways that you would think and hoped they would. There isn't any character that I have seen yet that feels fake. Most shojo manga I've read had characters that are very human, but others I've read really only exist for the sake of it being a manga.
It's not just a manga about romance and idols, its also very psychological and dramatic.
