Let's see there's A Collar Only For You, Story about OL-san Picking up a Cat, This Is Not Heaven, But…, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, My Blue Garnet (I guess this counts), and keeping a jewel there's probably a lot more.

That Chinese cooking one, Flavorful.

I think a manga where the homeless chick turned to be rich.

One I can't remember specifics of except it ended with the breadwinner saying "Get a job!"

Wow people at her previous work are cruel. Lots of people like that too in real life and they never thought they did anything wrong. That said, I hope she's not being taken advantage here. She's kind but still in vulnerable condition.

"Heart tremors."
Like an illness? Or just keeping something secret??? Hopefully it's the latter.

I wish Karen would help out, and I wish Nayu wasn't a total rug being walked on. I understand having social anxiety issues but learning how to set boundaries is important.

I think it's secrets. Karen turned off the TV when the song debut came out, meaning she's likely the singer or at least involved in the group. Something happened that caused Karen to run away from all of that.

"Even though she's a girl" / "but we're both girls" bro I'm so tired of this trope in GL.
Like it's totally fine for women to fall in love with each other lady, this isn't the 1900s!
After like say the age of 12 or something I'm sure you know that lesbians exist, especially living in the modern world with access to mass media.
I wish those types of corny lines would go away from all yuri.

The comphet struggle is still real for many, and when I hear her say that I mainly think, I hope she takes a look at herself and her sexuality. I personally think it's realistic because everyone's road of self discovery is different.

I think they mean those specific lines and how they are generally presented. Instead of “but we are both girls” “even though she’s a girl” something like “am i attracted to a woman?” I suppose? Idk I like those lines or yuri with straight women lol

That's also fair, everyone has their opinion and I should say if people dislike the specific wording here that's cool. Personally I'm fine with the wording myself is all, it strikes me as her not thinking about same sex relationships as a possibility, and I hope there's a eureka moment later where she has the realization that two people of the same sex loving each other is entirely possible. I look forward to her realizing that her heart beating for another woman is entirely because of love. So I'm enjoying it so far and I'm looking forward to more!

So it's another runaway idol story then. Alright.

Karen is a little hard to like completely. Being a homeless lazy bum mooching off a unemployed person’s finite savings doesn’t sit right with me, I hope that changes soon (then again this dumb lesbian picked up said homeless girl off the street random and offered her room and board in the first place so maybe they deserve each other)

The fault lies with society for not providing adequate support for people living in poverty.

This manga feels kind of amateurish to me. Is this the artist's first work? The compositions and dialogue are flat and cliché and the somewhat awkward posing and anatomy really exacerbate these problems. The characters also have left no impression on me other than boring or even annoying. The ex-homeless girl just lazing around makes the situation feel exploitative to me (@Cogito, I get what you're saying but she could still help out with the dishes, come on). It might even make her an interesting character if the author took it a step further and revealed that she's been intentionally "seducing" the MC to take advantage of her, but I really doubt they'll go that route; which is a shame, because her just being oblivious and super-friendly is uninteresting.

The fact that this is a drama which seems to be taking itself rather seriously makes these issues stand out all the more. I don't think I would care half as much if this were a light-hearted comedic series.
