This is a series that quickly bucks the standard trend of main characters, by instead of doing a standard uncool lame main character that is obsessed with super cool idol that is out of their league who has a special something or another that makes them stand out at some point or forces the idol to notice him against the rest of the crowd. We instead are given a loser idol with a semi-normal fan Kimiya Okuta who appears to only have eyes for the main idol Moegi Urushibara.
The main pull of this series is that it takes the idol Moegi and instead of

being an untouchable all perfect goddess of the idol world they are a clumsy goof. They are a terrible singer, unable to properly do idol poses and terrible at dancing along with just having a terribly rude personality. This is definitely a great flip on the standard perfect character that is typical for an idol series and while it may not appeal to everyone I do respect it for taking a standard concept of idol perfection and giving it a more down to Earth feel because there are alot of people who do attempt to make it big and either crash and burn from the start or flounder around like a fish out of water till they eventually get their groove. At the time of writing this they have not shown that this is going to be a redemption into stardom series but we will wait to see.
A final important difference from what feels like the standard idol drama/romance genre is that they quickly establish that this takes place in the world of grown adults. Instead of stock standard young children who are able to freely follow their dream some of the idols must balance college or work lives with their secondary hobby of idol work. There is also a much deeper dive into fan interaction not only between idol and fan but idol and idol as them being such a small unpopular group, they have a lot more direct interaction with repeat fans and how that effects each member of the group.
Over all I can easily recommend this manga to anyone. The romance/comedy fans will enjoy its humor and the characters growth that has been scaling very well with how few chapters are currently out, while also being lite enough for casual readers. It
