Death to the idol industry tbh

It's sad that it's realistic.

Yeah, I was wondering about that, too. Seems kinda harsh.

 

[Wildfire]

The fact that the backstory is realistic is so fucking disgusting, the idol culture really needs to chance.

 

[Duck_]

There is absolutely nothing I hate more than the idol industry

Considering the idol industry standard of “a waifu must appear available until she retires”, this is actually true. Many idols have their careers absolutely destroyed just from a pic of them doing anything un-idol-like, even something as mundane as underage smoking (Onyanko Club, the first idol group, had a bunch of veteran singers get fired due to a smoking scandal IIRC)

 

[Leffty]

Honestly, this is so fucking stupid I see this being absolutely realistic thing that could happen.

In idol industry you are just a doll for people to "play" with at the end of the day.

Taking away "their toy" feels exactly what happened. Real world is stupid like that. Also same thing happens with female streamers too unironically.

I wonder if it's easier for closet gay/lesbian idols to work like this, because they can just pass off everything as being cute for the fans.

Maybe at first. But part of the issue is that after an idol career, many move into acting, singing, or just being an influencer. Those people maintain many of the same fans with relatively unchanging expectations.

Many different manga focus on how this ends up trapping said individual in the closet for a very long time.

I was really expecting the scandal to be something serious instead of Idol Culture + "I'm a mid tier Voice actor"

 

[dexdoujinmanga]

Bad news? Most of the other players must be skibidi PK who just want to do as they please then.

 

[IlsaTilsaKilsaMilsa]

The sickest part of the scandal was how realistic it is. Idol culture is a blight.

Thank you for the update

"Bad news", cue the sudden chapter cut!

Thank you for translations!

Not a fan of some of the Japanese decisions, like that one time when an actor from Yakuza game was replaced because traces of substance were found in his blood. Or another because of the rumors of substance abuse. So much for human's empathy.

I was saying it on an earlier chapter but just going back and trying again is a waste of a wish. The same issue will either be brought back up or some other little innocuous thing will happen that gets everyone pissed off. I know the norm is for the story to have them just keep pushing for their dreams but sometimes it's better to get some character development and realize that your dream isn't what it was cracked up to be. That maybe you were caught up in how it was presented or how the most famous or wealthy did it rather than looking inside yourself and seeing what YOU wanted out of it, not what it IS and taking that wholesale.

 

[WindMil]

That was it? that was the scandal?? such a minor thing? Fucking hell.. Im not that well versed with the idol industry but seeing how everyone is calling this realistic is crazy to me

The sad thing is, that is a common problem with the idol industry.
Parasocial relationships are a plight, no matter the country, and Idol followers are very possessive of their perceptions of their idols.
