It felt like everything was really crammed in there while at the same time missing a bunch stuff, just to build up tension with no real payoff.

Like Mahiru gets Jellee signed on and then there’s no communication building up to the show? Kano’s just going in blind? And idk how idol shows work, but shouldn’t she have been the opener? Really thought they were gonna kiss after the show and then nothing.
Yeah, the whole story just sort of fell apart completely there, losing any sort of drama. Kano and Mahiru just going completely radio silent on each other after their fight even as they just sort of got over it on their own was just so narratively empty and unsatisfying. There was no conflict resolved with the climax, nor was there any real character growth. Kano just sort of got cheered up a bit, did a show, and that was that.
It’s just so disappointing, both in narrative quality and lack of acknowledgement for LGBT themes.
