So I started reading this series and a few days ago and I finished the same day. I don't know why I kept reading. I have never encountered such a series before. I kept thinking that this was a really long porno because the only thing that made sense when it was happening was the sexy times. There are no realistic situations throughout the whole series! While I read, I either laughed at the nonsensical direction of the story or read with utter and complete confusion.

This unbelievable train of ludicrousy starts off right from the first chapter when her manager ENCOURAGES the MC, Kirara, to sleep with people so that she could become famous, making it seem like it was the best way to become famous (just throw the idea of talent and charisma out the window because that doesn't matter in this series). In fact, the mangaka made it clear that ANYONE striving for fame or power was having sex some way, some how, and makes it even clearer that this series could not continue without sex to push the plot forward (as sad as that may sound). Because of this, the series was really similar to a porno (all though it lasted way longer than some of the guys did, AM I RIGHT?).

As well as having no substantive plot, the ideas portrayed in the manga are really quite awful and absurd (if I haven't already stressed that enough). The men in the series always had the power over women during sex and in general (that isn't always the case however, equality). This very series is an excellent example of what it means to pander to the patriarchal and overwhelmingly misogynistic ideals that are seen in many real world societies (albeit, still exaggerated from the truth). I understand that gender roles are Japan's bread and butter but I think the mangaka overstepped the line by a mile.

I also have some questions for the mangaka regarding the series, though he won't answer. I just thought these were some things I would like to point out (WARNING SPOILERS HERE, SKIP TO NEXT PARAGRAPH):
Are there no such things as STDs here?
Protection? Birth control?
How many times can someone have sex in a day? The characters shouldn't be able to walk after that, right?
How can you decide to retire from being an idol when you are 16? How can you decide to retire from anything when you're 16?
How is it possible that a girl could get flat out wasted from one goddamn sip of alcohol?
How does Kirara eat so much and yet keep her small body?
How many times can the mangaka actually objectify these women to abusive relationships?
How can the main character keep staying near people who have either raped/sexually assaulted/roofied/or almost raped her? And also, is there such a thing as rape in this world?
How can so many people donate bone marrow? Why would they donate bone marrow just to get into a concert for free? Does the mangaka know how much that hurts? Do they know how long it takes to recover from those??

I honestly don't know why I read all of this. I thought that it would get better if I kept going but oh no. Nonono. It just got worse.

I would give Love Celeb a solid "...wut" rating if it were available.
