Kawaguchi, a 19-year-old manga artist who debuted at 13 but now struggles to regain success, aims to create a popular girls' love manga for her comeback. Morishita, a successful manga artist under the pen name Sachi, harbors genuine romantic feelings for her senior, Kawaguchi. Kawaguchi, motivated by the trendiness of the genre rather than personal affection, decides to date Morishita to gain inspiration for her work. Their relationship begins with awkward interactions as Morishita’s earnest emotions contrast with Kawaguchi’s pragmatic approach. The two navigate their budding connection, blending comedic misunderstandings with moments of subtle intimacy.

Eripiyo, an enthusiastic young woman, becomes obsessed with Maina Ichii, a shy and less popular member of the underground idol group ChamJam in Okayama Prefecture. Pouring her savings into attending concerts and buying merchandise, Eripiyo’s devotion stands out, especially to Maina, who notices her fervent support during performances. Eripiyo’s intense fangirling leads to comedic moments as she balances her job and passion, often joined by fellow ChamJam fans Kumasa and Nacchi. The group’s small-scale shows and personal interactions highlight Maina’s quiet charm and Eripiyo’s unwavering loyalty. Their dynamic sets the stage for a heartfelt comedy about idol fandom and the bonds it creates.
