I'd been hoping for this one ever since I saw the German print of it (I like to follow Tokyopop's German titles just cause they have so many shoujo we don't have yet, but I can't read them so I can only hope for a future English print haha), so happy to see it in English and that the volumes are also releasing quite quickly!

I really love this series! Despite the base concept not being something particularly new as you said, the two characters themselves especially Eriko feel unique. Eriko and her female friend were really relatable characters for me in ways I don't frequently see in manga. The humour is also good, her tweets make me laugh sometimes and that's also an interesting unique concept in itself to add.

I hope you'll continue to enjoy it (and maybe warm up to it a bit more?) as it progresses!
