Driven by an unwavering passion for becoming an idol, Yu Azuma, a first-year student at Joshu East High School, embarks on a journey to form an idol group. To make her dream a reality, she recruits one girl from each of her region’s four high schools, located to the north, east, south, and west, and finds her three soon-to-be fellow group members.
Ranko Katori, a sophisticated second-year student at Holy Teneritas Southern Girls’ Academy, with a distinctive curly hairstyle and admiration for Ochofujin (“Madame Butterfly”). Kurumi Taiga, a student at West Tech Vocational High School, who wears cute, oversized jackets with long sleeves and dreams of winning the championship at a robotics competition. And Mika Kamei, a student who also hails from Joshu North High School, is known for being a kind-hearted girl and for her dedication to volunteering.
With the help of Shinji Kudo, Yu’s “collaborator” and confidante, these four young girls set off on the road to stardom as “Compass Rose,” but once pressures of their newfound fame and demands come into play, the girls question if all of this work is worth it. Doubt creeps into the group’s aspirations, and they must face decisions that will shape their destiny in the competitive world of show business. Yu is left unable to understand why anyone would want to give up their life in the spotlight.
