First of all, I'm not sure if it's just taking a while to get the last 2 volumes of O/A translated, so I might not have seen the whole story yet!
O/A seemed fairly interesting at first, since I don't really get into the whole 'pop idol' genre of manga/anime. To be honest, this was a little tough to get into at first. I didn't really understand where it was going plot-wise, and the art wasn't really anything worth more than a "Oh, that looks decent."
But, it does get better! As you keep reading, you get to see more about Yutaka and her past, which is
...
rather interesting. She also has some very interesting relationships, and the later chapters are a little heartwarming, even. The humor wasn't totally my style, since I'm not really into potty humor at all. So, unfortunately, I didn't really get any of the comedy aspect of this manga, which I think is a major part of it (I don't blame the manga for this, though).
I think the characters and their interactions are what saves this manga for me. It seems like every volume a new character is introduced, and their usually likeable and give us a new view on the previous characters, and provide some development, which is nice.
All in all, this was a fairly average manga for me, with the exception of Harumi, who almost makes it to my favorite characters list. If you like potty humor and the pop idol genre, I think it's worth a read.
