Girl Crush, Vol. 2

In the super-competitive world of K-pop idol trainees, perfection isn’t enough. You’ve got to have heart!

Tenka Momose was a quiet and withdrawn child, but before long she realised that the most effective way to protect herself wasn’t hiding from other kids—it was being the best at everything! After years of armouring herself with excellence, Tenka lives safely atop her cool-girl pedestal, admired and idolised by everyone. But her flawless composure is suddenly shaken by a very average schoolmate’s impressively big dreams.

At first, Tenka is scornful of Erian Sato’s ambition to become a K-pop idol, but the other girl’s passion is so irresistible that Tenka soon finds herself with idol dreams of her own!

After Tenka fails to get a callback from her audition and a drop-in dance class reveals that her moves aren’t actually all that, she heads back to Japan to restart her real life. But a heartfelt conversation with a dear friend helps Tenka realise she’s not ready to give up on her dream or herself! Now she just needs to find an agency that’s willing to give her a chance.

Girl Crush, Vol. 2 captures the thrilling journey of a young girl determined to follow the rhythm of her own heart in the fast-paced world of K-pop.
