I hate mangas like these; there is no further plot/character development until the manga has become stale and stagnant, losing its charm. Yet, this one hits the right checkmarks when it comes to a wholesome, comedic read; one that doesn't solely rely on a unique twist or take on plot, but rather a frame that is supported by the characters alone.
The plot of this manga isn't unique in the slightest with the idol romance trope, yet this does add a small twist by making the fmc hopelessly in love with the mc. Now, there's a very, very fine line between character expressions/romance being cringeworthy or
...
cute; thankfully, the manga has not had many cringe moments but rather a comedic sub-tone when it involves character cuteness. From this alone, the plot isn't necessary, though wanted, for the story's enjoyability.
At the end of the day, this manga capitalizes on all the wants of a reader when it comes to cuteness and the incorporation of comedy; surrounding characters are somewhat self-aware, but it becomes a comedy cluster due to the misunderstandings, similar to "Gamer."

However, if you are looking for a “deeper” or more meaningful romcom with well-established characters, this would probably be a no-go. For this very reason, as up to chapter 17, my interest in this manga died quite swiftly due to the characters and plot not having many switch-ups or meaningful moments. However, it still suffices in its wholesome comedy.
