*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
While Sahoko and Kouta are enjoying their relationship; we take a break to spend time with Emika Nanase; an actress with a crush on an idol singer named Kanato Asuma. When she finally gets the chance to shoot a show with him, she tries to be as brave as Sahoko and confess her feelings.
Is it bad that I don’t care as much about Emika and Kanato as much as I cared about Kouta and Sahoko? Her motivation doesn’t feel as original as Sahoko’s, more like a generic crush to confession pipeline without the same back story as Sahoko. Emika focused her entire career as an actress around getting to Kanato which simultaneously is sweet and sad, since she’s not doing it for herself and she can’t focus on that job around her crush. I just didn’t find her fumbling endearing and wanted to go back to our main couple. 2 out of 5.
