Work description

It is said that Akasaka, who is in charge of the original work, showed the plot of this work to Yokoyari, who is in charge of drawing, two years before the start of the serialization. Co-authorship was also expected. It is said that the official decision to team up with Yokoyari was when Yokoyari announced the one-shot manga "Kawaii" (September 2019).

It is said that the foreshadowing and the plot of the composition were made without blurring before writing, and it is said that the concept of the subjects to be taken up, including the romance reality show, was solidified from the initial plot stage.

However, it is said that the relationships between the characters are being changed fluidly, emphasizing the live feeling of the serialization. Specifically, the development in which Ai Hoshino, who initially appears as the central character, leaves the story early, and the development in which MEM Cho, who appears in a less important position, joins the idol unit of the main characters and becomes a regular character, It is said that the development was changed after coming up with it during the serialization.

This work is often evaluated as ``a work that cuts into the darkness of the entertainment world,'' but according to Akasaka and Yokoyari, the journalistic nature of exposing the other side of the entertainment world is not the main subject of this work, but rather ``that is the main theme. If it ends, it will be the end of the work." He expressed the idea that if there are bad guys to investigate, they should go through the justice system, and it is not a subject to appeal through manga. Akasaka says that he aims to create a "manga that fills even a little bit of the discommunication between creators and viewers" by depicting the fact that people's struggles do not lead to happiness due to the ties and customs that bind the entertainment world.
