Alisa arrived at Seven Arts with stars in her eyes, a fresh-faced new idol ready to take her first steps into the glittering world of entertainment. She had no idea what awaited her just beneath the surface of that polished facade.
Her senior, Ibuki, sensed something was wrong immediately. When Alisa was scheduled to appear at what was euphemistically called the “Underground Idol Athletic Meet.” She threw herself into the fray, determined to shield her wide-eyed the newly recruited.
What should have been friendly competition twisted into something degrading. Event after event, Ibuki found herself cornered, overwhelmed, and subjected to humiliations disguised as games. Her body bore the toll of her desperate crusade to protect Alisa.
Meanwhile, Koharu, another member of their idol unit, watched from the sidelines with laughs. While Ibuki sacrificed herself in vain, Koharu sought her own dark alliances with the shadowy figure Kurozuka, trading dignity for favor in the murky hierarchy of the underground circuit.
And then Ibuki learned the truth.
The newly recruited she had shattered herself to protect? She had walked into this world with her eyes wide open, it was all an act. The betrayal cut deeper than any physical wound Ibuki had endured.
