In the super-competitive world of K-pop idol trainees, perfection isn’t enough. You’ve got to have heart!
Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realized that the most effective way to protect herself wasn’t hiding from other kids—it was being the best at everything! After years of armoring herself with excellence, Tenka lives safely atop her cool-girl pedestal, admired and idolized by everyone. But her flawless composure is suddenly shaken by a very average schoolmate’s impressively big dreams. At first Tenka is scornful of Erian Sato’s ambition to become a K-pop idol, but the other girl’s passion is so irresistible that Tenka soon finds herself with idol dreams of her own!
As the critical monthly evaluation nears, Tenka and her team finally start to gel as Sua lets down her competitive guard and opens up to the others. But when the big day comes, all the unity in the world might not be enough to overcome a sudden wardrobe malfunction that puts Sua’s composure to the test. With only five coveted spots available on the special-project team, who has the talent to make the final cut?
