[2hot4you]

great chapter again

 

[t28]

You need someone in your life who is as happy to see you as Urumin is to see Kimiya.

Kimiya coming in clutch

 

[Lustrist]

hands were made for waving penlights

 

[FarAndLow]

LEEEEETTTTTSSSS GGGGOOOOOOOO

 

[luigiymario2]

Always go front row to show your support, dummy!

 

[henman]

He should have shown his stick to her from the start. Well, it's her stick anyway

 

[ladiance]

Nah, he'd win

Kimiya's view of things has been twisted from the beginning, considering what is the standard. He's acting like he's Urumin's father, supporting her financially and trying to give her advice and motivation. He's not acting like a fan. A fan obviously wants something for themselves, to enjoy the product they are supporting. That thought doesn't seem to visit Kimiya's mind at all. Normally he would be supporting his favourite idol and expect to be entertained by her. Yet now he seemingly still intends to keep supporting her, but is supposedly perfectly okay with falling into the background, allowing others to occupy the front line. That's not a fan's job. It's the job of an idol's manager, for which is manager is paid a salary. If the group doesn't have a manager, then it's up to the group member's cooperative effort and Urumin herself.

That being said, if this sort of stuff is what brings joy to Kimiya's, then it's naturally okay. It's just not the standard.

While you‘re absolutely right in characterizing him and encapsulating their relationship, it is important to mention that this is just the usual forced drama for easy progress chapters like in every average romcom.

There is nuances to him and their relationship you forgot to mention and his character actually goes a bit further and is more complex.
The reason I call this forced and consider it a bit out of character (not a bad thing, literally always the case), him not instantly stepping up after seeing that the online comments clearly aren‘t too nice is just not him. As is going to the live to stand in the back.
It goes into the ”he a fan” side of things but completely disregards his whole established char as her ”father/manager” as you called it and his personal feelings/ambitions.
I just thought it was weak that his friend had to just shout her name for him to wake up.
Dude is a bro but those were some preeetty meh chapters.
Hope we just skip to them meeting in Uni now with her sudden growth being kept small. Some actual proper progress based on what was worked towards/established.

Most series have people hating on idols for having boyfriends...

This series has everyone supporting it...

I assume it's because it's such a small community, everybody knows them. That guy is "her fan" as in the only one and he's been devoted for a long time. As he's her only fan, I don't think anyone there thinks of her as their parasocial girl friend, one of the big reasons why fans sperg out when idols get a boy friend.

 

[ayyyjaaaayyy]

It’s fucking go time. LET’S GOOOOOO!!!

Kimiya's view of things has been twisted from the beginning, considering what is the standard.

A large chunk of idol fans are often far beyond well-adjusted entertainment consumers, so ”twisted” is relative. Thinking of themselves as family and trying to steer their oshi ”down the right path“ is a popular thing. Acting as a brand organizer or promoter is another common phenomenon. These kinds of obsessive parasocial relationships are quite profitable for companies, so it takes significant excess to prompt blowback.

In other words, they 'ship it.

These comments are all over the place… and not in a constructive way

 

[danny597]

was expecting this to happen, they didn't come to support her, they came to make fun of her
