As far as the story goes, it's very average. It focuses on Matsuri's perspective so the whole idol thing doesn't make a difference to the story. It's really just a normal highschool love triangle thing. Their situations are a bit different and that plays into the events of the story a little bit but it doesn't deviate from a normal highschool romance.
The characters are what you would expect. The quiet, cool, long haired guy, and the loud, popular, short haired guy. You can feel the originality spewing forth. In addition there's a loud, cutesy, small, possessive character. Again nothing interesting. The main character is the only character that stands out a bit. As mentioned before, she's forced to conform to her mom's ideal and hides her feelings.
Overall this is one of the most average mangas i've read. It's still enjoyable, but nothing stands out. Average manga gets average score. Read this is you have absolutely no idea what to read, otherwise there's better stuff out there.
I want to mention that it's been a little while since I read this so it wasn't the most in depth review ever, but still better than this having no review.
