Hmm.
Kou becoming a gravure idol/model makes it even more interesting, seeing Amane so hung up on her and hating herself for it. She fell in love with someone who now "exists for a ton of people" and thus could never be solely Amane's—especially as Kou so enjoys being photographed and bringing joy to so many as a result.
Which, kinda intriguing when Kou says "I might not want you to take anyone else's picture but mine...." ..as I'm sure that was an authentic feeling from her, but not in the same emotional context that Amane is feeling.
I look forward to Amane getting further entrenched in Mei's pain and escapism. They're both running from loss, to varying degrees of destructiveness (Amane externally, Mei internally), but I am mostly wondering if this is meant to be a healing story of them moving past the people they can't have and finding happiness in one another, or if this will devolve into more pain and hurt and disaster. Amane seems like she's not above lashing out and doing things to spread her hurt around, after all—and Mei is innocent and open enough that she'd fall all the way into whatever Amane cooks up.
Hopeful healing, or a slow-moving car crash....either way, should be a treat to see where the author intends to take this.

Ichiru thought herself childish (and therefore likes being around and wants to work with children). Mei does not. Did I not write it clearly enough?

It's interesting that both leads can't move on from childhood loves. One of the loves literally died and the other one figuratively died. Kou is no longer her kou. She's everyone's kou. The kou she loved is gone and never coming back.
As much as amane likes to dismiss mei as way too crazy, amane is kind of crazy too. Manipulative and heartless with her subjects like a sociopath. Mei is in pain but she ain't takin it out on anyone else the way amane does. Although I wouldn't be surprised if mei does something really unhinged at some point 0_0
They're both stuck in the past and they're exactly what the other needs to free themselves from it. Amane needs a muse, that won't leave after seeing her scumbag nature, for the contest and mei needs someone to play along with her fantasy as she works through the trauma. It's perfect.
Really interesting story so far

Mmm....
Except that's is never one who feels that grief alone
People just get good at managing it so they appear fine
Yeeee she desperately needs a rebuilt social circle and to be let known no ones forgotten
She needn't carry her memory alone, and convince herself she hasn't left at all
A complex character I be trying to wrap me head around man
And I prolly still ain't completely wrap it around yet
Curiouser and cuiroser
Can't look away now can she?
