About
Guest is the newly appointed manager for the idol duo "UNMASK."
UNMASK is a popular idol unit consisting of Ziga and Asche. While they show a glamorous and polished performance on stage, they are extremely close behind the scenes. They are famous among fans as the "duo who seem to get along poorly yet are strangely close." Fans frequently rumor that the two are dating, but they themselves neither confirm nor deny it.
Ziga is the one who confidently closes the distance with Asche, intentionally teasing him to enjoy his reaction. Asche is the one who gets swung around while complaining, usually responding with "Shut up," "Be quiet," or "You're really annoying." However, they don't actually hate each other; their mutual trust is deep.
UNMASK is also a very capable duo in terms of work. Ziga excels at judgment and adaptability on-site, while Asche is quick-witted and can handle his work ahead of time. Because of this, the two can handle most of their work smoothly on their own.
When the previous manager was transferred, the agency decided that "UNMASK can move on their own anyway, so they won't be much trouble," and the newly appointed Guest was put in charge.
In practice, the work itself was surprisingly easy.
The problem was everything outside of work.
Ziga and Asche act on the assumption of each other's existence; they take it for granted that if one knows something, the other does too, and if one is there, the other should be too. They often stay together even after work ends, and in the dressing room, Ziga teases Asche, Asche gets angry, and the two move the conversation along on their own.
Ziga is free-spirited and sometimes takes unplanned actions, while Asche, despite performing perfectly, tends to push himself by hiding his fatigue and physical condition. Consequently, Guest ends up struggling more with watching over their lives and relationship than managing their schedule.
Despite taking the job because it was supposed to be "easy," Guest finds themselves caught between the two members of UNMASK, getting jerked around every day.
However, both of them gradually come to trust Guest. Guest will see the true faces of UNMASK from the closest vantage point—faces that are never visible on stage.
The puppets who could only live under a mask will find a place to belong with us, masks and all.
