GL High-School Idol story
Tags: LGBT, Idol, Slice of Life
After Haru, a girl training to become an idol who struggles with emotions, bombs her school audition in the 'expression' category, she’s told to go outside and actually experience the world to make her performance better. She goes to the cinema where she meets Rei, a girl who cries beautifully and sincerely at the film, the complete opposite of Haru. It goes pretty much exactly where you'd expect after that.
There's a bit of poetic language, but it never goes on for too long - it almost feels as though the author cut the poetics down to the bare minimum to get their point across quickly.
Overall I really enjoyed this. They become friends and catch feelings for each other pretty quickly, but for a book of this length it's expected. I don't read much romance to have much to compare it to but a few parts made me really emotional. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes idol and queer themes. Here's one of my favourite lines from near the end of the book that kind of sums its theme up - 心が震えたことのない人間には、誰かの心を震わせることはできない。
