The story follows Mika Furutsuki's journey to become an idol. Ever since she was a young girl, she wanted to be an idol. Despite having a good time as an idol at Hikarigayama National High School, her prospects of post school life weren't that great. After being confronted by her friend Maori Niizono and her sister Miya Furutsuki about her idol career, she ends up jumping off of her balcony, killing herself.

Maori decides to remove her brain and freezes it, swearing that some day she will revive her. After the Monopole Super Flares hit though, humanity is on the decline. Maori still tries to revive her idol friend and ultimately succeeds after 30 years. Mika may no longer human, but that doesn't stop her quest to become the #1 idol.
