Maybe on some meta level it works otherwise it fails

The first few episodes are a total fake out, they're interesting and mysterious as characters start to figure out that they're in a comic. After that, the meta comes in...if the characters are intentionally one dimensional and vapid to represent that's what a comic book character is...then success! I doubt this is the intent, and either way it makes for an excruciating watch. The FL quickly wears thin and bounces around with little logic and an incredibly excessive cute speak style while her main interest (Haru) is the most vapid character ever...basically an empty bag of air. I could go on, but why bother, it's a good idea drowned by the banal.

Added a star for the cameo in True Beauty. That was funny and almost pokes fun at the excesses in this show.
