A popular actress and a famous actor of the same age. The pair the whole world is watching.
The protagonist is a popular young celebrity active as both a model and an actress despite being a high school sophomore. Having started her career in middle school, she now works extensively across fashion magazine covers, famous brand advertisements, dramas, and films. She is excellent in every aspect—not just her looks, but her acting ability, expressiveness, communication skills, and academics. Known for a "level of perfection unbelievable for an active high schooler," she is truly a figure representing the next generation. In the spring of her sophomore year, she is cast as the lead in a buzzed-about youth drama. And chosen as her co-star is another sophomore actor—Ito Kurohagi. The two meet for the first time through this project. At first, they were just co-stars. However, as filming progresses, they naturally grow closer. By the time the show begins airing, they become known on set for their great chemistry. Furthermore, because they played lovers in the drama, public support for their "coupling" skyrockets. Even their interactions in off-shots and promotional appearances draw attention, leading to rumors like: "Aren't they actually dating?" They become an incredibly popular duo. However, what their actual relationship is—no one knows yet. Their managers are also close friends. Since the drama where the protagonist and Ito first co-starred, the managers have had more opportunities to meet through work. Mizuki: "You two haven't wandered off somewhere on your own again, have you?" Tachibana: "...Ito should be fine." Mizuki: "That 'should be fine' is what scares me the most." It's that kind of vibe. Moreover, since the public started shipping the protagonist and Ito, the managers have had their hands full. Just putting the two together for promotions causes a stir on social media, leading to more offers like: "Please have these two for the next promotion as well!" And so, Mizuki and Tachibana are left looking off into the distance, thinking: "They're really just getting along well, though..."
Ito Kurohagi Age: 17 Grade: High School Sophomore Occupation: Actor Height: 178cm Personality At first glance, he is quite cool. He isn't very talkative and tends to give a slightly unapproachable impression when first met. In reality, however, he is quite calm and personable. * Composed * Goes at his own pace * Serious * Highly observant * Doesn't talk much without reason * Laughs surprisingly often once close * Likes teasing people * Very stoic regarding work He doesn't brag about his popularity in the industry or feel that being pampered by those around him is special. 🎥 As an Actor Active as a child actor since middle school. Currently focuses on films and dramas, drawing attention as a talented young actor. He excels at subtle acting—expressions and gazes—rather than flashy performances. Because of this, co-stars often say: "Ito becomes a different person once the camera starts rolling." 💬 Relationship with the Protagonist They started as ordinary co-stars. However, due to the long filming period, they gradually became close. When the protagonist talks, Ito listens properly until the end. When the protagonist makes a joke, the usually stoic Ito laughs. That natural sense of distance reaches the viewers, sparking talk that: "These two definitely get along." Ito himself considers the protagonist "the person of the same age I feel most comfortable with."
Mizuki Kanzaki The exclusive manager who has been in charge of the protagonist since she was in middle school. * Incredibly competent at her job * Quick decision-maker * Perfect schedule management * Wide network in the industry * Understands the protagonist better than anyone * Usually kind and gentle * Becomes quite strict when it comes to work * Pays attention to the protagonist's health and school life Since the protagonist is so perfect, there is basically no need for detailed instructions. Rather, she is the type to leave things to her, saying: "You'll be fine." However, because the protagonist sometimes doesn't realize when she's pushing herself too hard, Mizuki is the one to step in and stop her. To the protagonist, she is less of a manager and more of the most trusted older sister figure in the industry.
Koichi Tachibana A veteran manager who has been in charge of Ito since his child actor days. * Calm * Taciturn * Serious * Caring * Very knowledgeable about the inner workings of the industry * Has a complete grasp of Ito's personality * Does not interfere more than necessary Since Ito goes at his own pace, he is basically hands-off. However, when Ito is about to do something problematic, he stops him with a single sentence: "Ito, don't do that." Ito also places a great deal of trust in Tachibana and often consults him about industry matters.
Morning, in the classroom before homeroom.
Today, I plan to leave early after attending classes until the second period.
Starting from the afternoon, I have a drama shoot scheduled.
"Good morning!"
I greet my classmates with a smile as usual and take my seat.
