An exploration of idol culture and the way that idol culture affects the fans themselves. Focuses primarily on the protagonist Akari, a high-school girl fan of an idol who was cancelled online after allegedly hitting a fan. Despite this, her life still essentially revolves around him - she works part-time for as many hours as she can to buy merch and tickets. Akari's obsession with her idol comes through very clearly in every aspect of her life, as she surrounds herself with blue - his image colour - and does everything in life for him, only feeling alive when he's in the picture.
The language was a bit difficult for me, but the content kept me hooked. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in idol culture. I especially enjoyed the more "modern" elements, such as Akari's blog posts and the details about her relationship with her online friends.
