Kaede gets humbled the hard way, watching her smug comments about idols blow up in her face when she has to actually live that life. The show knows the bit and plays it straight, building chemistry between the girls through genuine competition and friendship instead of manufactured drama. You're here for the fanservice and the character designs, but you stay because the core cast actually feels like they've earned their unit together, not just been thrown at the camera.

Kaede Wakamiya, a member of the KoiKen Love Research club, remarks that being an idol must be very easy, and the comment annoys working idol Nagisa Toyama. Following a suggestion from Nagisa's manager, every girl in the KoiKen club is asked to join Nagisa in an idol unit. Kaede soon begins to suspect that idol life may be harder than she assumed. The ONA runs twelve episodes, mixes music with ecchi elements, and is based on a dating simulation game from the Mobage social network.
