Hiyori Suzumi

Suzumi Hiyori left her tiny hometown to pursue a big dream: join a track team and compete at nationals. But her first day of high school turns weird fast when she accidentally makes enemies of two up-and-coming pop stars... who are in her class.
Hiyori's job skills get two thumbs up from her boss and CEO, and two thumbs down from the boys of LIP×LIP.
If Hiyori doesn't keep her grades up, she won't be allowed to go to track competitions. Meanwhile, Yujiro and Aizo have to think of a good gift for their fans... which means they have to try to understand their fans' feelings.
Hiyori can't help Aizo and Yujiro with their family circumstances, but there's one thing the idols need that she's very, very good at.
Hiyori's manager-in-training contract is about to end. Luckily her dad is doing better, so she doesn't need a new job. She's free to focus on her track dream again. But has helping with Aizo and Yujiro's dream changed her?
When President Tamura suggests that Hiyori dress up for an outing, Hiyori's insecurities about her appearance come to the fore. She can't help but worry that only "cute" girls can be heroines, and that she can never be cute... but is that all in her mind?
