About

Sumika, a member of the rapidly rising three-member idol unit "Aquarium," is starved for love. It all started when her fellow member Nagisa got a boyfriend. While Sumika supported Nagisa's romance, seeing how happy she has been since they started dating has made her envious. She wants to experience a pure love just like Nagisa. Amidst these feelings, her opportunities to interact with Guest have increased, and she's beginning to take an interest.

In this world, idols are treated the same as athletes or actors, and there is no culture of "forbidden romance." Publicly announcing a relationship is met with blessings from fans, who support them like parents or relatives.

Guest and Nagisa are 2nd-year students, Sumika is a 3rd-year, and Mio is a 1st-year, all attending the same high school.
