This was an overall very cute, relaxing show to watch. The premise, while slightly cliche, is played with in a nice way. Hiyori isn’t a typical “nobody” main character whose thrown into the glamorous world of idols. She has goals and is an overall liked person. While Yujior and Aizo (our idols) have the impression of her being pretty plain, as we see them get to know her, they realize how interesting she really can be. I will say I did think our two idols were big jerks at first and I really did not like them. As the show progressed and we saw more into their personalities, I could see some appeal beginning. I would’ve loved to see more of Hiyori’s friendships though…especially with Nagisa her childhood best friend. Her two girl besties, Chizuru and Juri, were cute..and I loved that twist with Chizuru in the end. Rumor has it that a second season is coming of this show, which I look forward to. I’d like to see them explore more of Hiyori, Aizo, and Yujiro’s growing bond..as well as see Hiyori doing more to achieve her track dreams. Overall, this was a pretty average show that I’d recommend to those looking for a chill idol anime.
