Plot

Ino Sakura, a girl from Okayama Prefecture, decides to head to Tokyo in order to realize her dream of becoming an idol. Once she arrives there, she moves into a dormitory called Mouse House where she meets Roko Sekino, a former child actor, Hayu Nukui, a musician, and Nina Maehara, a model. When their manager, Hoho Kajino, informs them that Mouse House has been threatened to be demolished, the girls quickly form a new idol group called Fruit Tart in order to save their home.
