Nakamori Taiga used to be just your average idol fanboy, cheering on the underground idol group, Animal Trail ☆ Girlish Square. However, he ended up stumbling upon his favorite idol group’s secret.

And that secret is…

• They are not only idols but magical girls as well
• They’re helping to stop the enchanted realm of Hemdesmel from collapsing
• To do this, they must work together to find an energy source called “Pal” which is released by humans in times of immense joy

Having discovered their secret, there was no going back. Soon, he became the manager Animal Trail desperately needed (not that he was given much choice in the matter). Still, for an idol otaku like him, getting to manage his favorite group was like a dream come true. One by one, he began connecting with each of the girls, helping them to reach their full potential. Now directed by Taiga, their marketing efforts also began to bear fruit. Animal Trail ☆ Girlish Square was finally starting to gain momentum, establishing themselves as a powerhouse in the indie idol sphere.

Amidst this flurry of successes came an offer they couldn’t refuse: an invitation to the so-called Tokyo New Idol Festival. It promised to be a huge, nationally televised event backed by a big-shot production company, and it was happening right in their backyard! The goal? To decide who were the best indie idols out there, once and for all. Is this their big chance? Their golden ticket to stardom? Can they even make the cut? Animal Trail once again finds itself at a crossroads, with the girls’ collective dream on the line.

The stage is set: it’s time to kick things off with another roar!
