Summary
Akari Tachibana, and her coworker, Onda-san, are more than just friends… they’re both hardcore idol fans! But when Onda-san confesses to Akari out of the blue, she’s floored. Of course it would be great to date someone with whom she shares so many interests, but can she navigate this new dimension to their relationship?

Review
This manga is such a cute, fluffy romance, ahh! Akari and Onda are coworkers and rather unlikely friends, but they bond over their otaku-level love of idols (though they each follow a different idol). They have so much fun going to idol events together and then supporting each other, so is it any surprise when they start dating? Onda is clearly way more into Akari, which I sort of adore. I also really appreciate how Akari has fellow otaku friends. I’m not a big fan of idols, but I do definitely have interests that some people would think I’m “too old” for, so I felt like I really related to this manga. I was rooting for Akari and Onda the entire time! That being said, I’m not really sure where further volumes could possibly take this… I’m about 50/50 on whether I’ll pick up volume 2 to find out.
