Akane Kurokawa is a rising star actress from the Lalalie Theatrical Company. Although a shy and quiet person, she is very serious when it comes to creating a good performance. She does a deep examination of each role she is given, allowing her to perfectly portray the character's personality and motivations. Akane is introduced to [Aqua](https://anilist.co/character/183885) as a fellow cast member on the set of the reality dating show *The Beginning of My Love With An Idol*.

When a pregnant young starlet appears in Gorou Amemiya’s countryside medical clinic, the doctor takes it upon himself to safely (and secretly) deliver Ai Hoshino’s child so she can make a scandal-free return to the stage. But no good deed goes unpunished, and on the eve of her delivery, he finds himself slain at the hands of Ai’s deluded stalker — and subsequently reborn as Ai’s child, Aquamarine Hoshino! The glitz and glamor of showbiz hide the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry, threatening to dull the shine of his favorite star. Can he help his new mother rise to the top of the charts? And what will he do when unthinkable disaster strikes?
