I loved how Akari reminded me of characters from Sayaka Murata and Akutagawa himself, in which they found themselves trying to fit into the societal standards but failed to do so; in which they feel as though they incompetent not fit to live. While the intensity of the fandom and what it entails may seem outlandish to some, it will especially resonate with readers familiar with real-life superfandoms. Alles was man sich beim lesen denkt, wird dann auch gedacht, verbalisiert und nochmal durch das Außen gespiegelt und eingeordnet.

Usami's] writing is extremely fresh and she has high literary ability" -- Akutagawa Prize Judges --This text refers to the paperback edition.Its not for everyone, and it has a depressing tone, but I would still recommend it, especially if you're into stories of growth with a tint of darkness. it will especially resonate with readers familiar with real-life superfandoms such as One Direction’s at the height of its fame, down to details such as sought-after exclusive merch and hateful online comments sections. Usami's writing is one that I personally liked and its definitely something fresh that is written in a story form.

Usami's frank portrayal of a young woman estranged from society is a potent statement on the dangers of social media and fan culture. Still, besides her "merch acquisition syndrome" costing ridiculous amounts of money, she is quite harmless, while she Manages the bare minimum of being human. Usami's unflinching depiction of a deeply alienated young woman makes for powerful commentary on the toxicity of social media and fan culture.

Hugely recommended if you've ever been a teenage girl wildly obsessed by a band or a person, Idol, Burning is a fascinating read. Rin Usami’s Idol, Burning gives readers insight into fandom culture and celebrity worship through the lens of Akari, a high-school student whose thoughts are always on Masaki Ueno, her oshi, a former child actor who is now part of the boyband Maza Maza. When rumours emerge about his assault on a female fan, social media becomes divided between his defence and condemnation. Very recently he has turned into a fallen teen idol, with our main character defending him religiously, as she did every since he played Peter Pan.
