(4.50/5)Very addicting
The manga is about a former idol who quit when she was younger because she realized her group just didn't have that "it" factor. She's now 22 and working part time at a コンビニ. Even though she quit the industry, she is still very much interested in idols. One day she goes to a meet and greet event and the idol there recognizes her and convinces her to give it another try. She ends up joining a "survival idol audition" competition after that and we follow her story through that.
The premise sound
Nice enough story about a former and current idol (both fans of the other) pushing each other to succeed. Some parts seem a bit unrealistic, but it's the sorta thing you can just roll with, bc it's clearly there for story/character moment, and this isn't a critique of the idol industry or anything.
The first volume gave me the impression that this was going to be a yuri + idol story, but if that's the case, the yuri portion really takes a back seat over the following volumes. So I wouldn't re
