I think you guys are looking at it wrong. You're so accustomed to it being about the girl (you're idol fans, after all) that you're vaguely annoyed when it's not.
On this show it's about the guy and all the grief he's going through as not only a hormone-crazed teenager but also a barely-in-control esper. ManoEri is just background (so far) as the object of his crush. And in that sense, it seems rather clever and sweet.
(I know someone else already said basically the same thing, but I'm on my phone here and cannot easily go back to look.)
