hm, i don't know if they'll end up getting together, but maybe he should join a 'proper' idol company and get some kinda contract rather then relying on fans who can turn on a dime lol.

and interesting to have an icon where it's a selfie but you hide ur face. other than some alt account or being a model i wouldn't rly bother if ur worried about privacy, unless she semi-expects the idols/oshis to recognize her in meetups

Thanks for the sweet chapter. Surely their relationship won't crash and burn right ?

I remember talking about Runa's values months ago back in chapter Brainwashing 13. Yuki has a strong reason for brickwalling her heart and rejecting all romantic advances, but Runa really doesn't. Or rather, we don't really know much about Runa in the first place.
If I had to guess, she's probably just not a traumatized wreck like most of the previous girls in this manga :dogkek:

Yeah there's a weird kind of divide between who Runa thinks she is VS what she actually feels. She's built herself up as a strong-willed professional (especially with the whole "customers aren't human" thing), but this identity seems to be a barrier she intentionally puts up rather than a core part of her character.

I feel like this arc has a lot of strong parallels to Moe's story. Runa's monologue at the start of Brainwashing 1 about how people get brainwashed feels very similar to Moe's one on rejecting conventional feminine values in Knockin' on Heaven's Door 1 (Chapter 29 Page 22-24 on Mangadex). They both build up a rigid worldview in order to feel better about themselves, but their ideas get challenged and they turn out to be the same as those they looked down upon.

I wouldn't be surprised if it worked out based on the next story bringing down the mood more, since i think runa's coworker (the older lady who had 'surgery' or whatever) seems to be in some kinda cult or some kinda 'religious teachings' things based on what i skimmed in the live action drama, but i imagine everyone gets some form of 'closure'

I'm a lil confused, after the ex-gf leaked the photos isn't Bashi's face basically public already? How is he so confident going places with Runa.

Proper idol company does not exist because they are always connected to gay lords. What they can do is... put oil.
