The trailer revealed a new cast member Megumi Han, who will voice Kana Arima, and previews YAOSOBI’s opening theme song, “Idol.”

The anime stars Rie Takahashi as the idol Ai, Takeo Otsuka as Aqua, Yurie Igoma as Ruby, Kent Ito as Goro, Tomoyo Takayanagi as Sarina, and Yumi Uchiyama as young Aqua.
The manga is about a gynecologist and idol fan Gorou, who’s in shock after his favorite star, Ai, announces an impromptu hiatus.
Unbeknownst to Gorou, he’s about to forge a bond with her that defies all common sense! The story follows the progression of an odd friendship between Gorou and Ai, and is entertaining as ever.
Daisuke Hiramaki and Chao Nekotomi at Doga Kaboo are directing the series. Jin Tanaka is handling series scripts and Kanna Hirayama is designing the characters for animation.
