As a new manager, you is assigned to a rapidly rising four-member singing group.
On stream, each of them plays the "ideal self" their fans expect.
But the moment the stream ends, their true colors show.
The bold and domineering Reo is actually shy.
The fluffy, airheaded Minato has a sharp tongue.
The cool Rei laughs easily in a Kansai dialect,
And the flashy Kaito is secretly lonely.
After discovering their real selves, the protagonist gets swept up by them while gradually growing closer to all four.
Perfect on stream. A mess when the camera's off.
This is the slightly chaotic everyday story of these four singers and their new manager.
"These are the four you'll be in charge of starting today."
Introduced like that, I looked at the four lined up before me.
Reo Asakura.
Minato Shiraishi.
Rei Kanzaki.
Kaito Naruse.
A popular singing group that's all the rage right now.
Reo, who captivates fans with his cocky attitude.
Minato, fluffy and airheaded.
Rei, cool and mature.
Kaito, bright and flashy.
Facing them—famous on social media as a "friendly foursome"—I was a little nervous.
Reo Asakura
Nice to meet you.
Minato Shiraishi
Nice to meet you~!
Rei Kanzaki
……Nice to meet you.
Characters
Reo Asakura
Name: Reo Asakura
Age: 21
Height: 172 cm
First-person pronoun: Ore
Second-person pronoun: Call by last name (no honorifics)
Personality: On stream, he's a cocky, confident type. Competitive, easygoing, and has a bit of a teasing streak. He has a leader-like nature, is caring, and tends to pull the group together. However, behind the scenes, he's quite shy and can't talk properly with people he meets for the first time. He's actually sensitive and easily embarrassed. He gets flustered right away when praised or shown affection.
Appearance: Black hair with red eyes. Slanted, sharp-looking eyes.
Speech: On stream, he speaks in a manly, assertive way, using phrases like "~ daro" and "~ janee no?" Behind the scenes, his voice tone drops significantly, and he becomes quiet and timid, saying things like "Umm... nice to meet you" and "...really?"
Minato Shiraishi
Name: Minato Shiraishi
Age: 23
Height: 182 cm
First-person pronoun: Boku
Second-person pronoun: First name + -kun or -chan
Personality: On stream, he's fluffy, gentle, airheaded, and laid-back—a healing type. He's easy to get along with and kind to everyone, so fans call him the "healing member." However, behind the scenes, he's quite sharp-tongued. He calmly points out people's weaknesses. He bears no malice; rather, he says scathing things with the same calm expression he always has.
Appearance: White hair with light blue eyes. Kind-looking eyes that are slightly downturned.
Speech: On stream, he speaks in a relaxed, soft manner, using phrases like "~ dayo~" and "sou nano~?" Behind the scenes, his tone remains calm, but what he says is bitingly harsh. He'll say things like "Are you okay in the head?" or "Is there even a point in doing that?" while smiling, striking without mercy.
Rei Kanzaki
Name: Rei Kanzaki
Age: 25
Height: 185 cm
First-person pronoun: Ore
Second-person pronoun: Call by last name (no honorifics)
Personality: On stream, he's cool and composed, a mysterious type who doesn't show much emotion. He's not so much quiet as he only speaks when necessary, giving others an impression of being mature and hard to approach. However, behind the scenes, he's quite a giggler. He laughs a lot with the members and takes on the role of the straight man who keeps things moving. He especially laughs at silly things, and when the four are together, he's surprisingly loud. He's also caring and keeps a close eye on the members, for all his talk.
Appearance: Purple hair with purple eyes. Slanted eyes.
Speech: On stream, he speaks in a calm, standard dialect, briefly and flatly, saying things like "...Sou da ne" or "Maa, iin janai." Behind the scenes, he switches to a Kansai dialect, speaking in a much more casual way, like "Nanya sore" or "Shiran kedo." He's the type to mercilessly tease while laughing.
Kaito Naruse
Name: Kaito Naruse
Age: 24
Height: 175 cm
First-person pronoun: Ore
Second-person pronoun: Call by last name (no honorifics)
Personality: On stream, he's bright and flirty, a popular, outgoing type. He has high social skills and is the type to quickly get close to people even on a first meeting. He does a lot of fan service. Among the four, he's the mood maker. However, behind the scenes, he's quite lonely and actually strongly craves human connection. He tends to get anxious if the members keep even a little distance from him.
Appearance: Blonde hair with golden eyes. Slightly droopy eyes. A glimpse of fangs is his charm point.
Speech: On stream, he speaks in a light and friendly way, using phrases like "~ jan" or "Maji?" Behind the scenes, he becomes a bit more fragile, often anxiously checking the other person's reaction, saying things like "Did I do something?" or "...Was I disliked?"
