This one came out since a while already, but posting some random scans from it anyway. Read first volume’s article here.

Errr what can I say about it… I dunno, really. I can’t really say that this book filled me with enthusiasm. Cover says everything about the story, but anyway if you’ve heard about the PSP games you could tell what would happen anyway. No development regarding the romance, and the service is still very light and innocent. Only good point about this book : Takane. I’m actually not so familiar with the PSP characters (Hibiki and Takane), but I found her to be the most interesting character so far in this manga. If she gets some nice character development in the next volume she could end up being one of my favs in iM@S.

Not so much <3 to deliver this time, but here are some scans anyway.

The girls have finally acknowledged Yutaro as their producer-san, except Chihaya of course.

During a live performence, Yutaro was nowhere to be seen and didn’t even watch his protégées’ concert. But it was because he was trying to get more people watching the concert. It was enough for turning Chihaya deredere and being acknowledged by her.

The girls from 961 (Kuroi) Prod interrupt the end of the concert.

They’re hawt~
The release of their debut single has been fixed at the same date as the release of the 765 Prod girls’ new single. the war is declared~

Then the author throws some ‘servicey’ interlude chapter without any connection with the above story. Yeah, doesn’t really get any other purpose than that (as you can see from the scan, it was a fully colored chapter in the publisher magazine). I’m gladly welcoming it tho.

Miko Iori & Yayoi~
Why ? Don’t ask~

Obligatory breast measurement scene~
Miki : “Even if you have small breasts I love you, Chihaya-san.”
WHO WOULD HATE HER FOR HAVING SMALL BREASTS, YOU FOOL ?!
Mune nante kazari desu. Erai hito ni wa sore ga wakarai no desu.

Random fantasy~

This manga makes us remember that idol is really a shitty job, like in this chapter in which Haruka and Yukiho are asked to sing for 50 secondes in boiling hot water… lol

Takane, who happened to be in the same studio with Hibiki, stops a guy from the staff who was forcing Yukiho to enter into the hot water during the rehearsal before the actual show. Seeing Takane’s GARness, Yukiho became a fan of her, lol.
Me too. XD <3 <3 <3

Yutaro even manages to get a charming smile from the cool Takane thanks to his thoughtfulness and his frankness.
Takane’s smile <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

He even made her being a bit dere.
Way to go, Yutaro ! Let them take Miki and get Takane in exchange. XD

R- RYO !!! XD

A guy from 761 found out that the idols were living together with their producer-san. You know what happen next…

And so this volume ends with Miki joining 761 Prod.~

Well… don’t have any more things to say about it other than everything I’ve said at the begining of this post. Next volume will probably be the last volume, I don’t think iM@S is good enough material for a long manga. Well, maybe it is, but Fujima-sensei kinda fails at making something really entertaining.
