What an adorable and relatable ride ❤️
Nanami seems so realistic as she builds her career. I mean, we all have moments of insecurities and comparison with others that is being well described in this work.
And her mom is so precious, super healthy family interaction..! She is guiding her girl 👍🏻

The art is also great!
It was a good read for me. The characters all have flaws and insecurities. I recommend you read it if you like stories with a plot, there's a bit of romance though.

A teenage girl with insecurities and lovely personality, I like it! I hope she will find her place to shine the highest 🥰 (and hey, if she is not the best it’s okay too!)
What an adorable ride! It was nice following this relatable couple (🤭) finding and helping each other ❤️
I also loved how we didn’t have a villain in this! (I’m sorry for suspecting you, top tier friend Aoi)
Character discovery and development were great!

This story makes me think of that one lyric "I'm worst at what I do best" from Nirvana

I hope Mimimi will someday see her own light and value, outside of comparison. She’s got a lot of strong points herself, she just doesn’t value it because it’s already there.

Finally! She’s seeing a bigger world out there than tiny school rankings.

Wow, so it’s an alternate storyline from the canon plotline. This time she isn’t running against Aoi, but finding her own place in the world.
