Higashi Yuu, a first-year high school student, spends her high school life imposing four rules on herself in order to “definitely become an idol.”

Don’t use SNS
2) Don’t have a boyfriend
3) Stay inconspicuous at school
4) Make friends with beautiful girls from north, south, east, and west

Yuu, who attends Joshu Higashi High School located in the east of the peninsula area of Joshu'', visits high schools in three other directions and proceeds with his plan to make friends with cute girls. Behind this was the ambition to form an idol group by gathering beautiful girls from North, South, East, and West.”

Kurumi Taiga, a second year student at Nishi Techno National College of Technology, is the “star of the west” and aims to win the National College of Technology Robocon.

Ranko Kadori, a second year student at Seinan Teneritas Girls’ High School, is the “star of the south” and admires Mrs. Butterfly.

Mika Kamei, a first-year student at Joshu Kita High School, is the “star of the north” and is active in volunteer activities.

With the support of Shinji Kudo, a high school boy who knows about Yuu’s plan and cooperates with him, Yu becomes friends with three beautiful girls.

While participating in youth events such as Robocon competitions and school festivals, Yuu steadily solidifies the unity of the four members of “North, South, East, and West.”

Meanwhile, the activities of high school girls helping tourist guide volunteer Shuichi Itami attract attention, and Yuu and the others get a chance to appear on TV.

Furthermore, after meeting Moka Koga, an AD at a program production company, the four of them gradually get jobs and become known to the world.

And finally, the idol debut project of “East, West, South and North” will begin.

“The members I hand-picked. There was nothing wrong with my eyes. For us, North, South, East, West and West, to become true idols. I will make everyone shine even more.”

However, as Yuu continues to climb the stairs to her dream, she comes across a “big problem.”
