Our protagonist is Koharu, one half of the fresh-faced duo ‘Stella Rista.’ She’s got dreams bigger than a stadium subwoofer, she’s all in, ready to climb that fame ladder and is grinding 24/7 to hit the big leagues. But, her journey takes a hard left. One night, when she’s having private moment with her manager, Matsunami, gets snapshot by fate (or more like, by a major creep), and suddenly she’s got a one-way ticket to Manipulation Station. Enter Kurotsuka, the human equivalent of a phishing email. This guy gets his grubby hands on that incriminating pic. His master plan? To systematically hit the factory reset button on Koharu’s entire life. Turning the top-tier idol hopeful into his own personal, pre-programmed puppet.
