This one is an interesting story that falls squarely into the train-wreck-esque category of manga that keeps you reading because you want to see what other kinds of stupid stuff the MC will get themselves into. The characters are unabashed caricatures of specific types of people in a way that feels like it extends a little beyond a trope. It took a moment to pick up the pace, but ultimately left me satisfied in a wierd kinda way. Story: Our MC is a die-hard superfan of an Idol Group, and is unrepentingly horny for a specific member of the group. Through a small (and moderately unconvincing) series of events, he winds up becoming a willing "slave" to this Idol star after she decides she wants to toy with him. They share a brief time together interspersing a lot of questionable outings alongside some domination play in hotel rooms. These are not activities that two people who recently met would do, yet it basically brute-forces it into working by making the MC so unflinchingly horny that he'll do anything just to be with her, and making the Idol have some sort of vaguely PTSD-triggered drive to hold power over a man. They then share a couple of trials that test their relationship and risk their jobs before the story ends on a happy note. 4/10; Honestly not as bad as some train-wreck plots I've read - it's unoffensive enough to be passable as popcorn material. Art: The clear winner of most train-wreck manga is the artistry, and this one is no different. While it's not so stellar as to be a stand-out or even something that I'm likely to remember in the long run, it's certainly skillful and has some really beatiful moments. 8/10; I especially like the attention to detail in the backgrounds, as backgrounds are often some of the bigger casualties in ecchi works. Characters: In a surprising reversal of my expectation, I think these characters are better written than the story they engage in. That is to say, I would have expected a train-wreck kind of plot like this would rest on the shoulders of some absolute garbage pieces of 1-dimensional fluff, but I'm pleased to say that isn't the case here. The characters are not only consistent in their motives and stated goals, they all experience meaningful and earned growth over the course of the plot. There are a couple of developments to the characters that feel a bit rushed, but the results are the logical conclusion of the direction they were taken in, and anything missed was simply a minor stepping stone along the way. 6/10; Still nothing to write home about, but pleasingly above-par. Overall: I went into this one with low expectations, and came away pleasantly satisfied. If I'd had any level of higher expectation, I might have been upset, but going in blind was the perfect way to experience it. 6/10; This is a perfectly middling work that will serve to keep you occupied for a while without doing anything offensive.
