Siina's Reviews > Having an Idol-Loving Boyfriend Is the Best!, Vol. 1

Having An Idol-Loving Boyfriend is the Best! is quite heartwarming. Akari Tachibana works at a cafe and her fellow worker Onda is also an otaku just like her. They are both fans of idols and share this hobby until Onda wants them to start dating. They are both super awkward, but bond even more due to idol shows and whatnot. In a sense this is slice of life with two grownups, which is good. These two don't know how to date and the feelings aren't there yet, but it's somewhat realistic at least. I'm happy our main characters are actually working and not high schoolers for once. Everything is very tied to the idol fandom though and I wish we'd see life outside of that more. Also, I wish Aoi had used more time to get them together, since everything happens so fast.

The art looks nice, it's cute and fluffy, but not all over the place. I like the facial expressions and how we get inside the main characters' head too. I like the pondering and choices made, since they give our characters persona. I don't know where the series is going though as there doesn't seem to be a real plot. We'll have to see.
