This is a review of NOT YOUR IDOL volume 1, a new series by Aoi Makino that's going to be released by Viz.
NOT YOUR IDOL tackles the ups and downs of idol culture in Japan (as you can probably tell from the title). It follows a girl named Nina, who was once the leader of the idol group Pure Club. At an event for Pure Club, she was attacked by a supposed fan, which leads her to drop out of the group and start dressing as a boy to protect herself. That's only the beginning of the drama, though. Shojo & Tell host Ashley and basically a cohost Asher give their thoughts about what a promising start volume 1 is for the series. (With a warning that NOT YOUR IDOL is also pretty upsetting.)
