As a certified enjoyer of the Seiyuu Radio manga, I hope Nick gives the manga a look once he's done with the show. Not only is the art lightyears better, this adaptation's cutting out a lot of clever character beats and nuances about the industry in favor of pure plot functionality. We've already blazed through seven chapters in just two episodes and there's so much good detail that made the original manga shine but was cut for time here. So I highly recommend checking the manga out for anyone who's interested; in my opinion, it's the far superior way to experience this story.

For what it's worth, both the manga and the anime are adaptations of a novel, so it's less "the original is better" and more "the manga is a better adaptation, and probably improved on the source material."

Okay, so at the end of episode 2, why doesn't Otome still go out and sing? Surely that would have been better than removing her from the song entirely.
