Girl Crush, Vol. 2

In the super-competitive world of K-pop idol trainees, perfection isn't enough. You've got to have heart!

Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realized that the most effective way to protect herself wasn't hiding from other kids--it was being the best at everything! After years of armoring herself with excellence, Tenka lives safely atop her cool-girl pedestal, admired and idolized by everyone. But her flawless composure is suddenly shaken by a very average schoolmate's impressively big dreams. At first Tenka is scornful of Erian Sato's ambition to become a K-pop idol, but the other girl's passion is so irresistible that Tenka soon finds herself with idol dreams of her own!

After Tenka fails to get a callback from her audition and a drop-in dance class reveals that her moves aren't actually all that, she heads back to Japan to restart her real life. But a heartfelt conversation with a dear friend helps Tenka realize she's not ready to give up on her dream or herself! Now she just needs to find an agency that's willing to give her a chance.
