Ooohh hot take but I kinda agree
Ahahaha! It's honestly one of the reasons why I don't read shoujo as much
But this manga s actively one of the better ones
*sry. I posted an incomplete reply by mistake
In this case, I think it's handling the other themes just fine since it's focused on the romance from the get go.
If it gave more focus on the other themes, it'll become a different manga: music shoujo rather than a romance shoujo
the manga is too focused on being a romance to even consider developing the themes which are supposed to make it interesting aka alternative culture, bands, music. Instead we have a boring ass girl who makes boring ass graphic designs who magically wins over the hearts of badly written bad boys just because she's earnest. It's not like I don't find this manga cute, but I wonder if the shoujo authors are aware that their storylines are often poor. I think it might be to due to publishers and editors more than authors themselves...
