Synopsis

Pure Club is a popular idol group beloved by people all over the world. However, some fans harbor darker feelings than just love—something Karen Amamiya comes to understand all too well when a hooded, rain-soaked man cuts her arm at a handshake event. Following the incident, Karen quits Pure Club and disappears from the public eye.

Nina Kamiyama is a girl who doesn't want to look feminine at all, cutting her hair short and opting to wear the male uniform at her high school. But soon, a girl at a nearby school is assaulted, so all the high schools in the area cancel the girls' after school activities, urging them to walk home in groups. Hikaru Horiuchi, a boy in the judo club, sees that Kamiyama is still walking home alone, despite the school's warnings. One day, he stumbles upon Kamiyama as she is walking home and discovers her secret: she was Karen, the former idol in the center position of Pure Club.

But Horiuchi isn't the only one who knows about Kamiyama's former life—her assailant does too, and he is lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect time to strike again.

Despite being label a shoujo under Ribon Magazine this story speaks about important issues like sexual harassments, double standards, idol expectations, gender roles honestly I love it. Yes, it is dark but its realistic. The main character has trauma from being assaulted and is slowly trying to learn more about herself and is even being a supporting figure to other people who are in similar situations. It has the regular cute art style but that doesn't draw away from the real problems at hand.

It's called Not Your Idol in English and is being published under VIZ so I really recommend reading it.

I might be over-exaggerating to some people, but I think this manga is seriously incredible ! I love classic shojo manga art with a cute heroine with big eyes. All the characters have been drawn beautifully and I usually take a long time reading this because I'm staring at the art.

I have read 2 volumes, volume 2 really hit me hard with the darker themes for shojo manga that was written in here. I love the story because it is NOTHING like any other shojo manga I've read! It does exaggerate the dialogue a little bit (if you read it you'll know), but it ...

Known as "Not Your Idol" in the US translation. This is the best shoujo manga I have read. This is a psychological thriller, a crime mystery, and romance. From the synopsis, I was hooked. This is like Japan's Extracurricular, the hit kdrama that came out last year. I'd rank it highly, next to Glass Mask and Princess Tutu. I'd even categorize this as a jousei manga due to the level of maturity and self awareness from the characters and the direction. What this tells is highly relevant, especially now more than ever, especially with the unsteady social and racial climate that is coming out of ...
