The tea is here ;)'s manga / #Idol(10)

Debut or Die is a standout in the idol genre. The main character, Moondae, is refreshingly pragmatic and clever, making his journey both engaging and believable. The pacing is spot-on, with each chapter building tension without feeling rushed. The art complements the story beautifully, capturing both the drama and the subtler moments. It’s a refreshing take on the idol world, offering depth and intrigue beyond the usual tropes. 5/5

The Maknae Has to Be an Idol is a fast-paced mix of idol drama and supernatural tension. Taeyoon’s growth feels real, and the story moves without dragging. The art is clean, and while expressions can feel stiff, the chibi moments add charm. It’s an emotional, engaging read that stands out from typical idol stories. 4.5⁄5

Honestly, I really like An Insincere Idol’s Blank Slate. The whole idea of Eden getting a second chance with a mindset system is super interesting, and it actually makes you think about how hard it is to keep passion alive in the idol industry. It’s not just about becoming famous again—it’s about falling back in love with something you once cared about. The characters feel real, and you can really see the growth in both Eden and his group. 5/5

Star × Fanboy is a fun twist on the idol-fan dynamic that genuinely surprised me. The chemistry between the MC and the idol has a playful yet heartfelt vibe, and their interactions feel refreshingly real. The art is crisp and expressive, capturing both the excitement of fangirling and the tenderness of unexpected romance. It’s light, charming, and more emotionally engaging than I expected.
