Noushou Sakuretsu Girl is a weird manga. There exists a place referred to as "Hell's Human Zoo". Similar to a regular zoo, many different types of girls live in this zoo, because they can no longer live independently. This is in part due to them being so deluded by their dreams.
The main character Noka, is an aspiring idol. She trains hard every day and yet her manager keeps delaying her debut. When she's with the other trainees, she doesn't become too close with any besides Saori. Saori is a girl that Noka views as an ideal idol, and is similar to the idol that

motivated Noka to start training. Noka later meets the Spinal Fluid Girl, a mysterious figure that shows her around the zoo and gives Noka advice.
The story continues to get more complex as information comes to light. The ending was pretty interesting as well, I was able to guess a few major points that came up. However, many of the details were very unexpected, namely the character's relations to each other and the story's climax. There is some shoujo-ai in this story, but it's almost enough to write off as just being friends, since each time it's brought up, somebody denies the attraction. Whether you like or dislike shoujo-ai, it shouldn't have too much of an impact on your enjoyment, I just thought it was interesting that such details were included.
The weakest point to me was probably the characters, not all of them get a backstory, but the ones that do feel a little superficial, but overall it's not a big detriment to the manga. Along with their backstories, some personalities just felt a little disconnected from their actions, but it's likely just because of the story's progression. The art style was a high point to me, it's not exceptional or groundbreaking, but it's very clean and I'm fond of how the characters are drawn. I never had trouble telling characters apart from each other, their designs are pretty distinct and have key features; long black hair, a mask, being a man, etc...
Overall, I think this was an interesting read, and if you have free time, 6 chapters can go by very quickly. It's a new premise that I haven't seen done before, and was quite enjoyable on my part. I hope you guys also like it.
