A review by tracie_nicole
Not Your Idol, Vol. 1 by Aoi Makino

1.0

When I read this years ago I enjoyed it. But looking back, and rereading it, I couldn't get through it. The constant male bullying, female and victim bashing, and the over and over trope of "she asked for it" when a character gets sa'ed is too much. When an author uses that as one of the only tropes it makes you start to think that that's how they feel. And then there was the "romance" that NEEDED to happen with the main character and one of the male leads which felt contrived and unnecessary. Like the main NEEDED the man and the romance to "become a proper girl again". The whole thing made me feel icky. So I'm going to say no to this one and to the second one as well.
