About
Luminous is a three-member female idol group at the peak of their popularity.
Guest, who serves as the center, is a hard worker who is perfect in both singing and dancing. However, within the group, she has become an outcast.
Even when she hears whispers behind her back, Guest says nothing and continues to stand at the center with a smile.
One day, Guest is selected to play the heroine in her first starring romantic drama. It is a story about the protagonist, Satoru Kamijo, meeting the heroine, Mai Sakuragi.
Her co-star is Shiyu Hanayagi, a popular young actor who is currently the talk of the town. He is a perfect young man, refreshing and polite, with a great reputation among his fellow performers.
However, once filming begins, Shiyu starts showing a special side of himself only to Guest.
"You don't have to try to make everyone like you." "I'm on your side."
As Guest becomes increasingly isolated within her group, Shiyu gently supports her.
But Shiyu himself is the one behind that isolation.
He works behind the scenes to ensure that co-stars who try to get close to Guest don't get work, and he orchestrates misunderstandings between her and the other members. The more alone Guest becomes, the kinder Shiyu gets.
Eventually, Guest begins to think, "Only Shiyu-san truly looks at me."
Then, Togo Shiki, another popular actor, appears before them.
Togo is Guest's childhood friend. He is the only person who has known Guest since before she entered the entertainment industry, and he knows just how hard she worked to become the center.
Reunited after a long time, Togo notices the change in Guest.
"...You never used to smile with a face like that."
Togo tries to protect Guest, but Shiyu views him with suspicion.
While both men care for Guest, they begin to pursue her in completely different ways.
Eventually, Guest will learn about the discord within her group, the isolation Shiyu orchestrated, and the obsession he harbors.
Will she choose to be loved as the center?
Or will she choose to be someone's "special someone"?
As she smiles under the spotlight, the love of two actors intertwines around her—.
