Story -
This story revolves around a high-school student who pretends to be a female in order to support his love interest from within the audition, however what he did not expect was to be one of the candidates to pass, so he continues to support his love interest from within the group as Minori as well as from outside as Minoru. The synopsis, along with my short description, would lead you to believe that this story lacks an actual story and that it is just another one of those manga's that starts off interesting enough ... but quickly getting boring because the only thing they have going for them is the secret... HOWEVER I'm extremely happy to say that is not the case! The story starts off simple enough yes, but it quickly turns into something more as it depicts the life of an idol as well as the trials and tribulations of following your dream. There is very little if any perverted humor and the story focuses more on being an idol than the gender bender which I am happy about that. Stories like "Idol Pretender" start off with interesting premise but quickly lose the majority of the audience due to the lack of a story, while this on the other hand this is more of a "Birdy the mighty" since the gender bender is still present + the secret identity etc, it is not the entire story but rather, it is only a small fraction of it.

Art & Characters -
Art is fairly meh, you may struggle to tell characters apart from one another from time to time but as you get used to the art you are able to distinguish who is who, this by far is the weakest point of the manga imo.

Overall enjoyment -
I am really liking the story I've never read anything quite like this. The closest thing that I can think of is the Sun-ken Rock idol arc where it went into extreme details of life of a kpop idol, and managing a group...

Story - I don't read very many slice of life mangas because it just doesn't appeal to me to me reading about someone else's boring life when im trying to forget about my own boring life and engulf myself in a story... that being said, I have no idea what i just read lol... I know slice of life have no main plots but this seemed to be the slice of life to... slice of life... nothing happen felt like it was ended before it even began don't bother picking this up unless you are very bored and just want to read from what ... i saw an could've been an interesting story of a teacher/student relationship however it ends before it began...

Art - the art reminded me of Matsumoto, Jiro's drawings with many shadings
however not as detailed as his since when you see his drawings you don't get confused between the characters each of them are unique in their own way... however in this i was confusing the characters

Characters - no character development was 2 short they just threw characters at me seldom if any back story to any of them

Enjoyment - Well if actually kept going and progressed into a story perhaps i wouldn't have felt so let down at the end...

Overall - I gave it a 6 since the story seemed like it could be interesting so i did enjoy it while i read it but when i finished it i felt myself thinking "thats it...?" this is something i expect from Oneshots but not from a manga

(if you didn't read the prequel don't read this contains major spoilers for prequel)
Decided to re-edit this since i couldn't express why I rated this so highly.
I was trying to hard not to spoil anything i ended up writing nothing so here's my second attempt

First off one thing i loved about this is that he doesn't need to relearn to fight he knows how to fight however he can't because of his ki center being broken. I'm sure as soon as he gets his ki center fixed he'll be back to his old self

Story -
The story revolves around the kid this time around ... instead of his master.
It starts off exactly at the ending of the breaker with the Sunwoo.
Where he is asked to be the Sunwoo Leader because of the Talisman he received from before, while adamant in his decision not to involve himself with Murims he is warned that he is still infamous and targeted by those who seek revenge for what his master has done even though he was deemed normal from the Association.
The Association has their hands full with Goomoonryong so they are unable to help.

Goomoonryong has also attracting many followers who are causing more problems by rampaging the streets brawling with normal people and committing heinous crimes.

after the first few chapters it picks up much quicker than the prequel
perhaps a bit less comedy though it is still there with a touch more romance.

With so few chapters out it is hard to give it an accurate score at this moment however i feel this story has more potential than the prequel (this was when i was at chapter 31) now i can safely say this is probably one of the best things i'm currently reading and look forward for every new chapter that comes out

Art -
Loved the artwork it is so detailed, you are never left thinking... Huh? what happened while starring at the artwork trying to decipher it. it is just as good if not better than original.

Characters -
while you may miss some of the old characters like i do
it introduces new likeable characters quiet well. Certain things that happen in main story trigger memories for the new characters and i found this to be very nice while not interrupting the pacing of the main story it gives more info on the new characters.

Enjoyment -
After i got past the rocky few chapters that felt a bit surreal i absolutely loved it I cannot wait for the next few chapters was left at a cliffhanger... woe is me

I decided to write a review to warn people about this dreadful anime it starts off with a decent enough concept but it quickly loses interest with pointless episodes that try to be humorous but just end up getting on my nerves now there are some epic scenes that were 10 star moments but 60% of this anime is the pink haired girl saying "mystery" and doing something stupid or running into obvious danger she also has to be one of the most dense characters i have ever encountered and 30% of this anime is pointless comedic humor... now the other 10% is the ... ACTUAL STORY and no it isnt half bad i might've not liked how it turned out but really it isnt that horrible its the only reason i continued watching...
now to be completely honest if i was 8 years younger and still have the maturity and attention span of a gerbil then i probably would've enjoyed this anime
now if you dont heed my warning and pursue to watch this regardless of what this random person on internet is saying... well then keep keyboard mouse glasses at a distance to avoid unconsciously throwing them also move yourself back 2 feet from desk to avoid slamming your head on the desk...
