Es ist vielmehr das Psychogramm einer jungen Frau, die weder in Familie noch in Schule oder Job Erfüllung findet. Usami’s narrative probes the complexity and contradictions of fandom and otaku culture: the fantasy of intimacy; the potential for evading social pressures and an emphasis on academic achievement and conformity; the participatory culture in which fans are simultaneously producers and consumers. the main character seems to suffer from depression and uses her idol as a means of escape, but I couldn’t manage to get invested.

Akari’s Masaki-centred world, however, starts to collapse when allegations emerge of his having assaulted a fan – or, possibly, a girlfriend. Hugely recommended if you've ever been a teenage girl wildly obsessed by a band or a person, Idol, Burning is a fascinating read. Dần sau đó, người đọc được biết cách Akari lần đầu nhìn thấy thần tượng của cô bé, cách cô bé đã ngưỡng mộ thần tượng thế nào, cách mà thần tượng đã cho Akari điểm tựa trong cuộc sống này. I must confess I liked Sheena Patel's book more albeit there are things I enjoyed in Idol, Burning a lot: its subtlety, the melancholy atmosphere, the symbol of fire, the portrayal of Akari, the original subject matter. I loved how the author had based Akari's condition to her brother (in which I cried so hard in the author's acknowledgment), and how Usami had apologized to her brother for not being able to understand his hardships when they were younger.Störfaktor ist lediglich das Außen, das ihr ihre Sicherheit durch Ignoranz und der Vorstellung von Norm ständig unter dem Hintern wegreißen will.

We are left without a satisfying conclusion - which is frustrating - to the Masaki story; however, when you remember it's Akari's story, it's more satisfying. I may be wrong, but I do get the impression that most contemporary Japanese literature features characters who are eccentrics and outsiders, often at odds with the expectations of society. The protagonist has a diagnosis, but doesn't get any treatment cause she just stops going to the clinic. So loneliness, abuse, and agency are the themes around which the text revolves, and Akari's limited self-awareness, her oscillation between knowing that what she does is harmful and ultimately pointless and her holding on to the illusion while understanding that this illusions destroys Masaki - this complex psychological net, rendered in a convincing voice, make this an intriguing text.
