Really fun art, but something about the tone felt awfully off to me... Maybe it's my predisposition against children VTubing (as having such a huge online presence and creating in a parasocial breeding ground strikes me as an dreadful environment for a formative mind), but I got a weird vibe through this whole story, despite it being perfectly "wholesome" at its core. It had a pretty squeaky-clean, pure depiction of VTubing life because the whole crux revolved around a girl having two identities and her crush being in love with only one, but she had bizarre, almost-yandere tendencies (stalkery note-taking, for one) and a reliance on the internet that gave her a very unhinged, unhealthy vibe. And shoujo manga isn't exactly shy when it comes to unhealthy, fucked up relationships, but something about how clean this depiction was struck me as off. The art and the story both always felt like they were teetering on yami-kawaii aesthetics despite that not being the plot at all. It felt like this girl was always one step from snapping.
Of course, the art is still ADORABLE and I love the contrast between Usami's identities, and her love interest is very cute, simple, and not particularly threatening... There's just an overarching discomfort I get from how sugary-sweet it depicts this particular hobby.
Granted, I've grown used to this sort of spoon-fed "it's cool and fun, actually" rhetoric when it comes to idol media for young girls, so this could just be a symptom of it being the first one I've read with this subject and demographic combination.
Overall, the story itself is pretty simple, a bit forced, and pretty typical for a shoujo romance. The art is fantastic, expressive, and high-energy. It's a nice little treat if you don't have a thing against children VTubing.
The bonus story at the end is about a girl with something of a two-faced personality, one being the outwardly cute and the other being a resentful, violent jerk, but her learning to consolidate the two when one person sees through it. It had much less of a weird vibe and a fine payoff with two pretty likeable leads that felt a little more human than their predecessors.
