Idol-kun wa Koi wo Shiranai

Behind the dazzling spotlight, popular idol Hinato lives a carefully divided life. While adoring fans know his every performance, the classmates at the part-time school he quietly attends have no idea who he really is—a secret he guards closely as he searches for a slice of ordinary school life to call his own. Within that hidden world, one person stands apart: Tomoya, the only classmate Hinato has managed to truly connect with. When an unfamiliar feeling begins to stir in his heart for the very first time, Hinato resolves to grow closer to Tomoya. Yet his attempt at closeness takes an earnest, almost comedic turn—working up his courage, he offers a "confession" of the most unexpected kind: "Please be my friend!" For someone who has never navigated emotions like these, asking for friendship feels nearly as nerve-wracking as declaring love—and the line between the two may be blurrier than Hinato realizes. As this sincere, awkward plea hangs in the air, one question remains: how will Tomoya respond to an idol who knows everything about performing, yet nothing about matters of the heart...?
