Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Mukanae Noa is a Vtuber affiliated with Vtuber Idol Group, Hoshigaoka High School.

Karube Gou, a highschooler who spent his whole youth supporting his Oshi, Mukanae Noa, and is a well-known fan in the Vtuber world, had his life turned upside down when Noa’s real identity was exposed and flamed on the internet.

“That night, I died.”

The management of Hoshigaoka High School announced the retirement of Mukanae Noa, and Gou took an absence from school as a result. One year later, he now spends his days as a blogger who deals with Vtuber flaming.

“Please flame my Vtuber,” But a request appeared from a beautiful girl in front of Karube’s Gou apartment— “This is to help someone…. No, to help a Vtuber.”

A story of rebirth and salvation to produce your Oshi’s ending.

In general, I think it's an interesting read.

I personally don't see myself as a Vtuber fan. I experienced the Hololive Boom during Covid and more or less only watched clips of Pekora (who ended up becoming one of the top tier Vtubers nowadays).
As for "flaming", the only thing I heard of is Uruha Rushia's story, I heard more from other ENG Vtubers.

Now how I felt about this story having this knowledge:

It is a bit cringe, not gonna lie. The author dramatizes this whole Vtuber idea a lot, treating it very similar to Idol culture. I think this might become an interesting read in the future, where people are see Vtubers as something more generalized. For me, who literally witnessed the Vtuber boom as well as Kizuna Ai back in the old days, this feels a bit exaggerated. It is fine because its fiction but it did make me raise my eyebrows.

In general, this story works well. The prologue introduces a certain set of characters and each chapters gets one of these chracaters involved in a Vtuber flaming case.
With "flaming", they're referring to "cancel attempts."
I'm not too well-versed in Twitter, this is just what I hear when I listen to some long running YouTubers I tend to watch, how Twitter is a shit-show and etc. It matches their descriptions + dramatized descriptions of cancel attacks and doxxing.

Each chapter can be technically speaking seen as an individual story, hence they're titled with "Case." Yet they kind of build on top of each other, with the same characters using their prior experience in the previous chapter in the next one.

Spoiler

The general premise feels a bit like Oshi no Ko, just with some details swapped:
MC feels like Aqua. First bright and cheerful, simping for his idol Vtuber, witnessing her loss and feeling devastated after that. (He has invested his everything into her and that "betrayal" broke him.
After that his hair turned white and he started to become a "flamer" himself. Her writes on his blog about Vtubers and points out their wrong-doings, like stuff that isn't okay and they should be held accountable for. According to the author, MC does this in a more justified fashion and his blog entries are reasonable. So I don't think you can view the MC as the same Twitter people that pick out something out of context and try to cancel someone because of that. (But if you know Twitter, you'll think about that).

After a year of doing that, he gets involved with Vtubers again on a personal level and ends helping them out with their "ending" (graduation).

[collapse]

Won't say more than that. If you're able to kind of shut out your own feelings about these kind of situations, you'll enjoy it. If not, it might feel a bit cringy.
(If you watched Oshi no Ko. Think of the Akane debacle and how you felt about it. For some people, it was solved too quickly and felt a bit unrealistic. It is a good portrayal and conveys a good critique about showbiz but if you're more involved in social media and cancel-culture, then you realize that what they did in the anime/manga would not 100% work out IRL as well. A bit too convennient for fiction.)
