Because her heart was fragile, Suzune Miyama spent most of her early years confined to bed. Yet even with the disease she nurtured a constant longing to become an idol. Her chance finally arrived when the seventh Selection Project opened—a ruthless contest famed as the launchpad for idol legend Akari Amasawa.
Eager yet nervous, Suzune stepped into the project"s opening round. Her voice impressed both judges and rivals, but a sudden surge of anxiety caused her to freeze halfway through. She snapped back into action quickly, yet the pause was enough for her to miss the top spot and be eliminated. Still she vowed to return stronger.
That seemed final—until Seira Kurusu, the contestant who had edged Suzune out, declared she would withdraw from Selection Project, convinced that Suzune possessed greater talent and deserved the chance to compete. Surprised by this move, Suzune assured Seira that they would meet again as leading idols. She readied herself for the trials ahead, determined to prove that her heart could not hold back her dream.
