Usually in these tropes, both the idols will fall for the girl and you know maybe some argument happens but there isn't that here. Both guys are equally tsundere-types and joke and mess around with her every so often while being caring at the same time. They even helped her clarify her doubts when her childhood friend confessed to her. They were supportive of her decision regardless of whether she got together with him or not and they even had a talk with the childhood friend to affirm his feelings for her.
That said, what was up with that last ep lmaooo. Both of them kissed her mascot costume and I was screaming along with her hahahaha. It was a really sweet moment but I don't know what that was for. Maybe to show their appreciation for her or maybe it was just fan-service I don't even know.
I have one MAJOR issue with this show though. And it is the way they justify, that friend, Chizuru's behaviour. I get that she's a big fan of LIPXLIP but that was honestly too much and everyone just forgives her just because she's a fan LIKE NO. BIG RED FLAG. NO. She got so obsessed with Aizou and then starts working part-time to earn money to buy their merch and concert tickets and send them gifts like you know what, even that is fine. Teen girls do things like that. But the fact that she said she'd dedicate her whole life to them was just downright weird as hell bruh. And after that stunt of her exposing Hiyori and the guys, she didn't even get that much backlash. Like yeah sure everyone got mad but she was forgiven so easily and even punched Hiyori in the face like what in the ever loving- Even she herself said she shouldn't be a fan of them anymore but oh no Hiyori has to be the heroine and forgive her and let everything go like BRUH. If she can stir shit like this once and not even get into that much trouble, she may just do it again. And they try to justify this by saying oh she didn't know Hiyori was their manager-in-training. LIKE WHAT?? NO!!! So what if she was or was not their manager??? Does that mean she can go around spreading shit and causing trouble like that??? You're telling me the guys can't have normal girl friends or even be in a relationship??? Nothing justifies her behaviour. I don't care how much she say's she's poured money into them or worked hard for them or whatever, you don't do that. And the final ep with the boys saying they're not in a relationship because they have their fans/Julietas or whatever is just... I don't know if this is Japanese culture where idols dedicate their lives to something and because of that they aren't allowed to have normal lives or whatnot but let me just say, no. They both deserve to have normal relationships and not give everything up just because of their fans. It's not like all their fans are gonna stay single forever either like come on.
Okay with that out of the way, I really liked that one cliché ep of them going on a shopping spree for Hiyori's makeover. She looked really cute and I wondered if they were just going to keep her dressed-up self throughout the rest of the season but they surprisingly didn't which I appreciated. It maintains her image from the beginning and I liked that. And I'm sorry but I have to say this, Hiyori's screaming voice really grates on me and I want to stab my ears every time she does that. I'm sorry sweetie but you need to stop.
A 7/10 of me.
