A formerly unsuccessful idol turned vagrant, "Sumire-chan" (31 y.o.)
A vanquished survivor of the cutthroat competition in the showbiz world, with her mind and body both beaten by the struggle, she now lives in a run-down apartment where she spends her days lazing around, for the time being. Her cousin "Yuusei", a first-year highschooler, has been keeping an eye on her and comes to her with a proposal for a moneymaking idea.
"You have a nice body, so let's release a doujin gravure photobook."
Will Sumire-chan actually be able to stage a comeback in the world of the Reiwa era!?
Let's stay tuned!
