It's a matter of personal preference, but I really enjoy that Aira's troubled relationship with Shoe was the source of her DMF woes. The whole "regular girl ends up dating her favorite ikemen celebrity and they live happily ever after" is such a boring cliche, I think it's way more interesting here where that ikemen celebrity turns out to be a massive piece of shit on a personal level and Aira has to try (and fail) to reconcile with that fact, and that failure leaves her in a vulnerable and confused place. It's a very real and surprisingly mature depiction of the realities of celebrity worship and the problems that can arise from dating someone whose public image doesn't reflect the type of person they really are. Ultimately, Shoe himself is the one who had to change and become a better person to make the relationship work, which you do see him do by the end of the show.
