Dude, if it was really that bad then they shouldn't have right to even propose a minor to take job that dangerous and full of crazies. You can't use the crazies as excuse to steal kid's youth from her. Either actually protect her while she lives her life as normal teen, or stop tolerating crazy fandoms before you start giving kids jobs in your business.Do remember this is set in Japan, the country where female celebrities has been stabbed for having a significant other by weirdo stalker fans. Imagine the absolute worst cronically online twitter puritan you can think off but give them a knife and enough delusion to go out in public to actually attack the people they have beef with and Japan actually HAS those cunts.
next they're going to start assassinating world leaders!Fuckers think they're the CIA.
With the whole culture of never making a scene and being quiet and blended into the background all that does is give the people, delusional and evil, more of a stage to act out reallyDude, if it was really that bad then they shouldn't have right to even propose a minor to take job that dangerous and full of crazies.

It's because Japanese agencies tolerate and encourage the crazies since they're whales that spend a lot of money on idols, it's why Japan has big problem with this, unlike western celebs who relatively rarely have to deal with that kind of shit.
An optimistic outcome would be if the agency said that they can still be BF/GF but that there can be no pictures or postings about it on any site. Fat chance. Still too risky for exposure. You may remember how Mai x Sakuta caused a ruckus when exposed in Bunny Girl Senpai and they were HS students, not MS students. Mai was an actress/model like Anna too, and not an idol (as Mai's half-sister was).From what has been shown of the manager so far - he seems like a chill guy and I doubt he will turn out to be a "villain". He might seem so from a child's perspective, and there will be drama from Ichikawa's side, but in the end the protagonist shall realize that the world is not as simple and you have to sacrifice some things to reach certain goals. It's not good or bad, it's just reality.
Lol that what i'm also thinkingManager is just happy he can actually pull the "you can't be seen dating her" card since last time he tried they weren't even dating and he cringed himself to death.
