Idoly Pride

Years after star idol Mana Nagase dies in an accident, her former manager Kouhei Makino remains at Hoshimi Productions and begins building a new group. Among the applicants are Mana's younger sister Kotono, determined to prove herself beyond her sister's shadow, and Sakura Kawasaki, whose voice bears an uncanny resemblance to Mana's. They join 8 other aspiring idols and move into a shared dorm, where training and competition quickly expose their differences. To rise through the VENUS ranking system, the 10 girls must learn how to become a genuine team before they can become stars people believe in.
