Summary: from Good Reads

Kyoko Mogami followed her true love Sho to Tokyo to support him while he made it big as an idol. But he’s casting her out now that he’s famous enough! Kyoko won’t suffer in silence—she’s going to get her sweet revenge by beating Sho in show biz!

Kyoko’s dreams are finally coming true! She’s landed a spot in Sho’s new video, and revenge is in sight! But vengeance isn’t as easy as she thought, and her rage starts to get in the way of her acting. When her performance catches the attention of some important people, Kyoko finds herself working with the terrifying Ren Tsuruga! Can she make it work, or will her growing fame be her downfall?!


Feelings:
Three volumes in one makes for a pretty big book. I did like this but I missed having the color cover. I don't mind reading the manga in black and white but there are times when having a little color is nice.

Kyoko is gaining fame. She is still a member of the Love Me Section but she is starting to have skill as an actress and is able to lead others. It was also nice to see the relationship between Kyoko and Ren change a little. 

Kyoko's revenge is finally in site or at least she thinks it is. She is going to use Sho as a stepping stone to launch her carier. She got an offer to be in his promo video and at first she wants to turn it down. But she decides it is an opportunity she isn't will to let pass. 

She struggles to act next to Sho but she is able to put aside her anger and really act shocking everyone. 

Sometimes the drawing makes Kyoko seem a little manic. She swings quickly from one emotion to the next. I know this is a manga having her act that way ads to the drama/tension. I do find it a bit hard to enjoy at times and sometimes it feels a but overdone. However, I'm really enjoying the series overall.
