A good volume. Not flashy, but filled with solid human drama and a reasonably portioned amount of heart.
Asako and Miyako are in the fluffiest phase of their relationship, which is driving Miyako nuts because while Asako can be a bit of a scold she never gets really mad. This is a cute little moment that shows their differences and introduces Chekhov’s socks into the equation.
The other notable arc with them comes in at the end, when they go home to meet Asako’s parents. This isn’t astonishing - Asako’s mom and dad are so incredibly normal that it’s entirely believable - but it makes for a strong note to end the volume on.
All the drama is focused on Miyako’s old group, ELM, who have a new single coming. Ruri is working herself to the bone for this, not only for its success, but also to get out from under the rumours that she got rid of Miyako to get the leader role.
Ruri’s real role has actually been to fuel the potential second coupling in the manga, between herself and Hato, who is forced to get to know the real Ruri instead of her idol persona.
Ruri is always at Hato’s place, but their relationship is moving at a glacial pace, particularly with Hato having an idol fan’s mindset she’s not super good at shaking. She clearly cares for Ruri in her way, but figuring out that way is her issue.
When ELM’s meddlesome manager inserts herself into the midst of Ruri’s extracurriculars, it all spills over into their professional relationship and makes things awkward as all get out.
It might resolve a little quickly, I think this could have been mined for more dramatics, but it’s a good lesson on believing in people and supporting them. And more than one person learns that. I loved the way that it all closed out.
This isn’t a wow-factor story, but I do think it’s well-written with a good heart and some more tender moments than you’d expect given the subject matter. Nothing you’d immediately recommend, but wouldn’t regret reading.
4 stars - good, workmanlike, yuri that gets done what it wants and expresses what it’s trying to get across. A rarer beast than you’d think.

Vol. 1 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 2 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 3 ★★★☆☆
Now that the leads have gotten together, the story shifts gears to Ruri, the current leader of Miyako's old idol group. There are also hints at a secondary romance. Had it been earlier in the series, I would've been more receptive. However, knowing there's only a volume left, I just want to spend the remaining time with our main couple. Their chapters are definitely my favorite of the volume.

With a lot of the romantic tension settled between the main couple, the writer swings attention to the professional and friendship tensions in the pop idol group the landlord once belonged to. It's all right, but not what I pick up this series for.

A pretty quiet but enjoyable entry in the series. Possibly a bit too much Elm in this one, but then again I went too long in between volumes and kept forgetting who was who amongst the idols.
The growing romance between our main gals is still sweet and engaging. They’re meeting the parents, so you know things are getting serious!

This is definitely a cozy, slice of life girl love with nearly no angst at all. All the characters are ridiculously cute ranging to adorable. I loved the main couple and enjoyed them as a pair. I feel like there’s even a second relationship that manifests that’s along the line of ace? Good read. Only giving an 8/10 because there’s still some things left to be like… figured out. I don’t feel like the end really felt finished. Still definitely cute read.

June 11, 2025I enjoyed the first three books in this series, but this volume hit a lull for me! There isn't a consistent story line through much of this one, and there isn't any source of conflict or tension driving these chapters. I plan on giving number 5 a try, but if it follows the pacing in this volume, I may be all set on the series.

on one hand it’s fun that we are focusing more on the side characters and i appreciate that there wasn’t any unnecessary drama created surrounding the main couple just for the sake of it, on the other hand i feel like the side characters aren’t distinct enough so far. their character design isn’t interesting enough and they don’t quite pull me in or charm me as the main couple.

I just really love this series, guys. I’m loving the jpop industry details and really excited to see more of the secondary couple!

Really enjoyed seeing more of Ruri and Hato, and again just loving the gentle, warm, cosy, cuteness of it.

I wanted less of ELM.

A cute next installment. Birthday celebrations, some idol group drama, and Miyako gets to meet Asako's parents.
