I mean I love the girls, and I feel bad for them, but also lmaoooo
After a great amount of success for a "local" idol group in the first season, their manager completely jumped the gun and booked them in a huge venue they never had any chance of filling, tanking their careers and saddling them all with huge amounts of debt and plenty of humiliation to boot. Things aren't looking so hot for the members of Franchouchou (and potentially the entire prefecture of Saga).
Don't worry, though. I have it on good authority that the girls have concocted a foolproof plan to lift themselves out of this debt blackhole. Let's hear what you've got, Ai.
