Sixteen-year-old Ai Hoshino is a
talented and beautiful idol who is adored by her fans. She is the epitome of
purity, but all that glitters is not gold… Gorou Honda is a rural gynecologist
and a huge fan of Ai. So when the pregnant idol shows up at his hospital, he is
more than a little baffled. Gorou promises her a safe delivery, but little does
he know that an encounter with a mysterious figure would result in her untimely
death – or so he thought. Opening his
eyes, Gorou finds himself in the lap of his beloved idol and discovers that he
has been reborn as Aquamarine Hoshino, Ai’s newborn son! With his world turned
upside down, Gorou soon discovers that the world of showbiz is full of thorns,
and talent doesn’t always breed success. Can he protect his beloved idol’s
smile?
