Interesting. This work is very, very interesting. One of the few that acknowledges anime fans as scorned-upon weirdos. A normal character with normal common sense. And not Comically Serious or Tsukkomi, but absolutely relatable, understandable normal. Finally, the Values Dissonance with Japan, compared to the West, is downright palpable. Definitely interesting.
In case you were wondering, the terrible secret of The Ace, borderline Mary Sue, hyper-popular, adorable Nogizaga is that she's an Otaku. When that was found out in her old school, she was so harassed that she had to change schools. Now she's a Closet Geek.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
