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Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realized that the most effective way to protect herself wasn’t hiding from other kids—it was being the best at everything!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!

Tenka and Sua may have made it on the LJH special-project team, but that’s only their first challenge. In order to get a spot at the audition for the new three-company idol group, they’re going to have to crush the next monthly evaluation. But seeing Tenka in action is giving Sua a lot of feelings about her own experience as an idol trainee. Will she be able to get her head in the game in time for the evals, or will all the stress goad her into making a career-ending bad choice?
