Idolatry - Vol. 4 Ch. 23 - Love

Mellow is so sweet, but I don't think the tsundere act works with Junna 😔

Junna deserves all the love she can get

Fuwari's message being simply that she loves Junna is so sweet, and definitely hit JunJun's feels. She'll probably seal that page in plastic for all time.

It's sincere simplicity raises an interesting possibility though...
What if Fuwari is as much of a stalker as Junna and she never noticed?

Not likely, although she definitely has more to her, then just being a nice and happy gurl.

We have not seen what drives Fuwari yet, which is odd, because the manga likes to put character motivations front and center. This probably means that her reasons for wanting to be an idol are not ordinary, possibly involving some dark secret, or unhealthy obsessions.

Also, I love Junna's setting. She is an oxymoron: being perfectly selfish and perfectly selfless at the same time, only loving one thing in the world, but doing so in the most pure and selfless way possible. And ironically, to win this she will need to learn how to love others, starting with herself.

And here I thought that this series was already peak. It keeps on delivering.

The twist on the end of previous chapter also getting a twist at the start, going to a small loner backstory and insight of what Junna experienced back then.

This story makes me realize the tiny details of how each person perceives and interprets social life.

Junna.... SHE'S GOING AURA MONSTER

everyone’s comments make really good points and I do like the theory of Fuwari being more than meets the eye (her perceptiveness throughout the series being the biggest piece of evidence), but something else I’ve noticed is WHY her message in the journal is so small?

Like, the journal’s meant to be Junna’s strong points, right? What Fuwari said is very sweet, wholesome, and simple, but it definitely doesn’t help in listing her strengths.

But who am I kidding. This journal was for Junna’s confidence, and the smallest message in there made the biggest impact.

…Almost as if she KNEW that was all she needed to say to get her going….

Yea im starting to believe y’all’s theories now LOL

Junna showing some non-crazy human side for once. I wonder how deep the backstory of why she turned out the way the did is. Her family life at least seemed alright.

That would be a killer plot twist, and to be honest I wish it turns out to be that way because Fuwari is too much of just a basic goodie two shoes so far. There's gotta be something special about her to get Junna that obsessively hooked on her.

Actually, the whole reason Junna ended up at the survival show is that Fuwari uploaded a cryptic video where she made the voice movements for "See you soon" while flapping her arms and Junna somehow connected the points to it refering to the show. We also know Fuwari was the least popular one from the group and that Junna never met her but she did upload photos of her stacks of merch, so Fuwari could have easily noticed she had a huge fan online, obsessed about her and uploaded the cryptic video knowing that only her most obsessed fan would catch the meaning of it so that she could meet her IRL (though I feel this last part is a bit of a hard sell haha). Fuwari was also the one that talked to Junna first by bumping into her. How suspicious...

Or maybe there's nothing there after all haha, but it is a fun theory. I do think that at least the member that apparently got tangled into scandals and that Junna assumed was the cause for the breakup will show up at some point. Her design is too distinctive and appears too much on chapter 1 to not show up again.

No, no, let'em cook! You're onto something with the crack theory! Only Junna would be able to interpret the meaning of Fuwari's video.
