My Idol Sits the Next Desk Over! Manga

Chiro-chan is a world-class idol...at least, to Sakiko Manaka, your run-of-the-mill hard-core idol fan. So when Chiro—real name Chihiro—ends up sitting next to her in school, Sakiko's world is turned upside-down, and all her brain cells vanish. After all, how can she concentrate when her absolute fav is just inches away?! But she needs to be on her A-game, because she may not be the only one who is totally gaga for Chihiro...

There are only a few translated chapters so far, so I cannot really say much about it. Only that I have high hopes of reading more of it into the future. The manga has been really good so far, by giving a background on all of the characters and for the plot. That's something a fan would clearly do if their idol was sitting next to them, which is fairly realistic. Chihiro is not only an idol but a human, so Sakiko makes sure that she doesn’t try to push her distance as much even though it‘s hard as a fan. As for the stan, she is also a great character and I can see why people would want to ship the stan with the fan. Although it looks like Chihiro and Sakiko will grow close. As for the school setting and the art, they are both really good. What I enjoy the most, are the background stories with the characters, and hoping to see more development from them in the future. I hope you will enjoy this idol manga as much as I am right now! (Based on my Twitter post: https://twitter.com/sftpnk/status/1384319279386877954?s=20)
