Story Part 1 [Sad News] My Favorite Idol Got Pregnant at 16...
Goro, who works at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic in the mountains of Miyazaki Prefecture, is a huge fan of the idol B Komachi, especially the center girl Ai. But then Ai appears in front of Goro as a customer. That's right, Ai got pregnant at 16 and came to the hospital deep in the mountains to give birth in secret. Goro is shocked to find out about this huge scandal that could end his life in an instant if he is found out.
Story Part 2 [Very Sad News] My Life is Over
Goro was shocked, but she was determined to win both happiness as an idol and happiness as a mother. Goro, who felt Ai's strong charisma, strengthened his feelings as a fan of Ai and supported her with all his might. Then, on the day of her birth, Goro is approached by a suspicious person outside the hospital. Goro chases the person, but is pushed off a cliff from behind and stabbed to death. Thus, Goro, the obstetrician-gynecologist, died.
Story 3 [Super good news] I'm reborn as the child of my favorite idol
Goro died an untimely death, but when he woke up, he had been reborn as Ai's child. Apart from being given a ridiculously flashy name, it was heaven. Goro had been reincarnated as Hoshino Ai's son, Hoshino Akuma Ami, with his memories of his previous life. However, Goro wasn't the only one who was reincarnated; his twin sister, Rumii, was also someone who had been reincarnated with their memories. Moreover, Rumii's previous life was that of a girl named Sarina, who was hospitalized in Goro's hospital four years ago and ended her life without being able to move her body properly. The two knew each other from their previous lives, but they live their second lives without realizing it.
Story 4: Hoshino Ai returns to active duty!
As Ai, who had been on hiatus, returns to being an idol and works energetically, the wife of the president of her agency is about to spread a scandal, but Aqua and Ruby skillfully persuade her and somehow avoid the Bunshun scandal, and Ai begins to show her presence as an idol. During the filming of the drama, Ai was cut from most of her scenes because she was too cute, but for some reason Aqua caught the eye of the film director Gotanda, and Ai was cast in the film on the condition that Aqua star in the film.
Story 5: Meeting Arima Kana, a genius child actor who licks baking soda
Aqua was liked by the film director Gotanda, and she was cast in the film as a child actor. At the film set, Aqua and Ruby met Arima Kana, who is known as the "genius child actor who can make you cry in 10 seconds." Arima Kana was a genius child actor, but she was a bit cocky. Aqua and Ruby start recording while harboring murderous intent after she gets carried away and makes fun of Ai.
Story 6: Make Kana-chan understand
The two characters were creepy guide children. As a genius child actor, Arima Kana's acting skills were remarkable. Aqua does not compete with her acting, but understands the director's intentions and tries to act naturally without trying to act. Since Aqua was a creepy child even before she acted, her behavior met the director's standards. It was so bad that Kana had to admit defeat and cried and asked for a retake. Thus, Aqua stepped into the world of entertainment for the first time.
Story 7: Idol Ai's year of great growth
In the movie Aqua starred in, Ai stole the show. I don't know if that was a turning point, but Ai made a big breakthrough that year. Her work, including TV shows and magazine gravure, was steadily increasing. The other main character, Ruby, also showed glimpses of her talent, with her natural acting ability and her mother's looks.
Story 8: Please continue to take care of Ai☆彡
Ai's popularity was completely ignited, and the B Komachi Dome live concert was just around the corner. Ai was originally abandoned by her parents and grew up in an institution, and was scouted by the current president to get to where she is now. At that time, Ai had never loved or been loved by anyone, and did not know how to love people. However, she thought that if she kept saying "I love you" even if it was a lie, it would eventually become true. And finally, the day of the live concert arrived. Idol Ai and her two reincarnated children influenced each other, experiencing many hardships and joys, and will continue to live in the world of showbiz. ...It did not end up that way.
Story Part 9 - To Chapter 2
The day before the concert, Ai was murdered by a stalker who had come to visit her new home. The incident in which Ai was murdered was widely covered in the media because the perpetrator committed suicide, but it quickly faded away. For Aqua and Ruby, the sweet days they spent with Ai are over, and their story begins.
Story 10: Revenge
In fact, the killer who killed Goro and Ai was the same person, but the perpetrator was someone who should not have been in a position to obtain information about Ai's hospital or new home, meaning that it was clear that there was an informant. The informant was very likely someone in the entertainment industry, or more specifically, the father of Aqua and Ruby. Aqua decides to travel the entertainment industry to find that person and get revenge.
