Her favorite thing to do is to run. Her specialty is hurdle running. Hiyori, a girl who is all about track and field, decides to leave her hometown and enter Sakuragaoka High School in Tokyo in order to go to a school with a track and field club. Hiyori's classmates happen to be Yujiro Someya and Aizo Shibasaki from the super popular high school idol unit "LIP×LIP". Despite their glamorous appearance on a large television screen in the city, Hiyori witnesses them glaring at each other with grim faces. She has no interest in idols and wants nothing to do with those scary people. She had thought so, but... Why am I now their manager's apprentice? I was enjoying my school life with my new friends, Juri Hattori and Chizuru Nakamura. The club activities that were the purpose of coming to Tokyo. At the same time, Hiyori is busy struggling as an apprentice manager in the idol industry, where she has no idea what's going on.
