I didn’t think Aya would exit this fast because it felt like she was the more normal & impartial person in the group. Which is unfortunate but at the same time better that she leaves now before Nana exposes Lyritri should that happen. Thanks for the translations.

A mysterious asshole appears!!!!!

Just who is aggressively protruding Adam's apple-kun???

Will Nana ever find her smile again???!!!

Yes, right there, cover of volume 6.

On a side note, I do like the aggressive clenching teeth smile artwork.

Damn, this is a tough loss.

Idol are so weird to me as a career choice, like celeb always go through some degree of dehumanization in some way shape form ya know but, idol as a career is solely you working hard to make ppl worship you; idolize you; making a human into a false idol like
Won't shit hit the fan ?
I'm not an idol fan either, and every time I try to see pros to it, it always feel bittersweet to me

the end of the wholesome streaming duo? Nana is definitely in their sights next.. Stay strong Nana! If they do attack you, you can beat them up.

Thank you! I feel very motivated 😊

So the guy is definitely working for Ruri and eliminating any threat to her popularity that doesn't just worship her. I'm betting when he goes after Nana something happens and he never gets heard of again.

Noooooo! I'm sad... Idols suck..... I guess we will just have to wait for photographer-kun's complete downfall. Thanks for the chapter and congrats on hitting the halfway point!

Grah! At least call out your fans and the company for putting pressure on you to either leave or lie about your personal life. At this point, there're no more consequences for lashing out. Call out the shitty human beings that would call themselves fans, but send hate-mail when they learn that their supposed idol has a romantic relationship, because it would mean that they no longer have a shot at being with her when they'd never have one in the first place.

This whole thing reminds me of that one VTuber that lost a bunch of subscribers because a glitch caused their face to be exposed for a few seconds and people realized that the actor/VTuber was a man. Like what were you expecting? That the cartoonesque interpretation of a human girl was actually real, and now that you know they're not you're out? Absolutely delusional.

The fact that it getting out you're in a romantic relationship means you'll lose a significant portion of your 'fans' to the extent you'll have to quit really exposes how warped the whole thing really is.
