It may be a better idea to move on to another writer if you simply cannot stand that style.

On a side note, the special award winner of えんため大賞, K-ON Kokoro Connect, has been released . The illustrations are LOL, but the readers' comments seem to be overall positive.
Spoiler:
I don't dislike the style, I just felt bewitched by the very lively writing in the first half of Mimizuku, while there's nothing original and fresh about MAMA. The gap is disappointing. I still enjoy the world view and whatnot.

The K-on cover you posted totally isn't plagiarism, because Mugi's eyebrows aren't thick enough!!
