About the book
"Akari is a high school junior obsessed with "oshi" Masaki Ueno, a member of the popular J-Pop group Maza Maza. She writes a blog devoted to him, and spends hours addictively scrolling for information about him and his life. Desperate to analyze and understand him, Akari hopes to eventually see the world through his eyes. It is a devotion that borders on the religious: Masaki is her savior, her backbone, someone she believes she cannot survive without-even though she's never actually met him. When rumors surface that her idol assaulted a female fan, social media explodes. Akari immediately begins sifting through everything she can find about the scandal, and shares every detail to her blog-including Masaki's denials and pleas to his fans-drawing numerous readers eager for her updates. But the organized, knowledgeable persona Akari presents online is totally different from the socially awkward, unfocused teenager she is in real life. As Masaki's situation spirals, his troubles threaten to tear apart her life too. Instead of finding a way to break free to save herself, Akari becomes even more fanatical about Masaki, still believing her idol is the only person who understands her"--

4.5Großartiges Buch, als jemand der selbst seit 10 Jahren K-Pop Fan ist und viele Verhaltensweisen der Fankultur die exakt selben sind wie im J-Pop ist es wirklich ein Flashback zu meinem 14-Jährigen Ich. Akaris Handlungen und Gefühle sind unglaublich eingängig geschildert und sicherlich auch für Menschen gut nachvollziehbar, die mit Fankultur nichts am Hut haben

2.0Short review: I expected more. Long review: The book did stay surface-level and that's what I wished it hadn't done. there were so many interesting topics - the obsession and fandom culture, the mental illness of the main character and how the combination of the two influences her ability to live her life, her relationship with her family. unfortunately none of those things are explored more in depth in this book. we don't even get to know if and why the idol punches the fan. the writing style also wasn't for me, it switched scenes in weird moments which took me out of the story and confused me. the plot wasn't satisfying even though it had a lot of potential. The Afterword was the best part of the book for me and only because of that I'm giving it 2 stars.
