but THANK GOD the influence of johnny's idols in japanese manga have dissipated considerably
i always hate when the characters have unnatural hairstyle that look like it needs a whole factory of hairspray to make it look that way. you know, like a cosplay wig: rigid like it's a helmet. and yes it's a dig to old gen jpop idol look
the newer manga have characters with more trendy hairstyle but also look natural. more flowy, like a well-conditioned hair and it gives the characters more "real" kind of feeling instead of cartoonish

how could i read the novel this manga is based on?

NO.
really tho, that narcissistic mother and spineless father, ichika deserves better parents
i could sort of forgive hikari's mother, but that male teacher???? unnecessarily malicious towards his own innocent student. electric chair for him!!! also the mother bcs fuck, the father at least have some senses to know the right thing, but alas his wife got his balls. the mother needs to stay away from ichika
