Not Your Idol, Vol. 1 by Aoi Makino
5.0
Thank you, NetGalley, for a complimentary copy of this manga!
Wow, just wow!!! I read this one in one sitting...not only because it was a short read, but I got sucked into the story!! I felt for Karen and Tsuji and I love Hikaru! The story is fantastic and I can't wait to read the next one! The graphics were great as well. I loved the "background images" when the MCs were remembering the past. The manga was well-written and addressed touchy subjects, such as assault, gender expectations, and the struggles in the aftermath of such incidents really well...the fears, the problems trusting people, the desire to change your appearance--all that was portrait well in this book!
