This manga is a really good read. And it's amazing how it shows us how important a main character is.
Hehe wondering why I am saying that ?
Ahem. Let me explain : I really enjoyed this manga until volume 7... then the main character changed and it became a lame-ass shoujo like the thousands we've already read.
sigh I'm soooooo freaking frustrated !!... How can it become so stupid, cliche, cheesy, shallow, ridiculous, boring, predictable and annoying ??... WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT AUTHOR-SAN ?!?
Yui is your typical irritating shoujo female character. Being more annoying than her is impossible. Especially when Hana was the former mc.
She was everything in this serie, and she's the reason why I liked it so much. She was unusual and thus endearing and charismatic. Her personality made it really interesting ! Straight forward, honest, energetic, cool, independant, mature, devoted... If you're like me and you've already read a lot of shoujos involving male idols with the mc as the manager, then let me assure you that this one was different and refreshing, thanks to the fantastic mc.
Moreover, despite the fact that the band's boys were really stereotypical (the arrogant/stupid one, the cute one, the cheerful one, the sexy one and the cool/aloof one), they entertained me and even managed to surprise me ! I really appreciated their relationship (between them and with Hana), and enjoyed that each member got his own screentime.
Then volume 8 came...
I feel betrayed. As if everything has been ruined... Replacing Hana by Yui only made me love Hana more, and loathe Yui more... We can't even compare them as they're on such different levels.
Please, let's just get rid of this fraud.
Hana-chan was such a great main character !! I want her back !! Otherwise I'm dropping this.
Edit : Humpf. I don't care. For me, it ended at volume 7. That's why I rated 8.
