Idoly Pride

Mana Nagase, one of the emerging stars of the idol business, was created by Hoshimi Production, a modest entertainment firm with its headquarters in Hoshimi City. When she passed away one day in a car accident while en route to the Venus Grand Prix finals, it devastated the people around her and simultaneously gave some of them the inspiration to become idols. Hoshimi Production arranges an audition to discover a new idol a few years later. Sakura Kawasaki, a young woman with a voice eerily similar to Mana's, makes an appearance on stage alongside Kotono Nagase, Mana's younger sister. They first live together in a dormitory as simply Kotono and Sakura, but eventually grow to a total of ten girls who are split into two groups: Moon Tempest and Sunny Peace. In addition to LizNoir and TRINITYAiLE, who have a fierce rivalry with Mana and desire to surpass her, the plot also includes them. The feelings surrounding Mana and the rivalry get intertwined as they stand up to each other and compete while striving for excellence.
