Oshi ga Joshi ni Narimashite (2023)

This series focuses on Nakajo Hitomi who is a fan of stage actor Kiryu Tomoya, who recently retired from being an actor. But a twist of fate was made and Kiryu Tomoya is now standing in front of Nakajo Hitomi, not as Tomoya, but as her boss, Takagi Shuichi. I liked that this series is wholesome and is light. I liked how they portray fans of actors or idols and that they didn't make it seem like they are "crazy teenage female fans" just as how people would assume of them. As a fan of an idol myself, it really feels great to see that they portray fans that may go overboard but would easily find mistakes in their ways or that they are loyal to their idols and are willing to support them as they have also been a helping hand when they were in need. Each episode felt so short and there are always scenes that made me roll because it was a cute scene (It was "nakakakilig"). The story wasn't that deep but focuses on a fan's perspective on how they see thier idols and how these people helped them on thier lowest times.

The acting of Suzuki Airi and Katayosa Ryota were great, I felt their chemistry. Suzuki Airi's monologues were what made this series so good to watch, her exaggerated expressions and intonations were great and I was telling myself "same" whenever she says something, I think I will say if that thing ever happened to me. Also Yoshida Yuri's Motoya was a scene stealer everytime she comes on screen. I feel like her character was a great support and push to how the story progressed.

The op were sang by Ryota and the ed were sang by Airi. I like both songs and the songs were made for their own roles. Ryota's song as a cool song that portrays and makes me feel like he is a charismatic person. Airi's song was too great to skip and it feels like when a fan sees his idol feeling. Also I think it was a great move as both of them are singers, Ryota as an idol from Generations from Exile Tribe and Airi as a solo artist.

I'll definitely rewatch this as this is too cute and I feel their chemistry. Also since it is only 25 min per ep, you can easily binge watch it.

Overall, a light and wholesome series that will surely make you squirm and roll on your bed. Paired with these cute songs and sound effects. And with great leads and supporting actresses/actors you'll surely watch this in one sitting and if you'd like you can watch it one more time.
