Ongaku Shoujo

Posted on October 10, 2018 5:37 am by Offkorn Comment

Perennially unpopular, the members of the Ongaku Shoujo idol group have tried just about everything to increase their sales or attract more attention. Their luck finally changes one day after meeting the idol-crazy Hanako Yamadagi, who’s currently visiting Japan with her musician parents: With the help of her advice and practically eidetic memory they suddenly begin to improve by leaps and bounds.

A comedic management-focused idol series with small flashes of relationship drama. Though it includes the characters from the 2015 movie of the same name, in all other respects the two are unrelated.
