I decided to reread this in the hopes of it getting better... But it didn't. I'm currently on chapter 16 and having a hard time continuing...
I find this whole Aki-Shiho ark unbearably annoying. It feels like the supporting characters are stealing the show of the main leads. And the worst part is, I don't even like the main leads enough to be getting so annoyed by this!? I mean, they're cute, sure, but are they anything more than that? I feel like I've seen the airhead mc a dozen times, so I'm already kinda tired of whatever charm it's supposed to have, but sometimes Hima just comes off as stupid.
I don't like Shiho. Are we supposed to sympathise with her...? Idk, I was just incredibly annoyed by her quitting the band like that and I'm getting even more annoyed by how we're dealing with it. This whole "competition" thing remains completely ridiculous and unnecessary to me.
I'm soooo tired of the friend that is actually in love with one of the leads... Let friends be friends!!! Seriously, do people really like this trope so much that we have to see it in every yuri manga? I'm pretty sure it's even more common than the obligatory bath scene! How is that even possible!?
Somehow it feels like the plot isn't on par with the incredible art.
Though I liked the twist of Yori actually being the one to fall in love at first sight, it was funny. And I liked chapter 19. Oh, also, the fact that they're dating and the manga isn't finished, wow
