Daichi Taira and Sosogu Hoshifuri were as close as anyone could get as children. Together, they made a promise that when they got older, they would live together and get married. But Sosogu moved far away one day, and he never saw her again.A couple of years later, Daichi is a regular teen living a humdrum life. Not even his parents leaving for an overseas trip can change that. Just before the pair can get out the door, his mother gives him a bit of advice among the usual warnings: "Take care of Sosogu". Unfortunately, he cannot exactly remember who or what Sosogu is—pretty bad, since she just moved into the house, right within earshot of him saying that. A lot of things have changed since their childhood, especially with Sosogu becoming the lead singer of girl group sensation Drop Stars and gaining a whole new group of friends. Despite this, she is determined to make him remember that promise they made all those years ago, even if he has to get roped into her new career as her manager to do it. Along with the aloof and possessive Shinobu Tsukino and the older sister-like beauty Korona Yuuhi, Daichi's life is about to take a whirlwind turn for both the romantic and the musical……If only Popuko didn’t tear through the series first.Originally written as a oneshot after Pop Team Epic's first season of strips, Hoshiiro Girldrop (星色ガールドロップ) is Bkub Okawa's send-up to idols, romcoms, and especially idol-based romcoms, packed with as many tropes as he could possibly fit in. The series was made a regular gag in Pop Team Epic announcements after its publishing. It even got the honor of being the gag for the series' anime announcement on April Fools 2017, complete with animated trailer and theme song done by none other than Kamikaze Douga. Despite its joke status in the latter series, it would go on to be sort of expanded on as a regular segment, with an animated version of the original oneshot serving as the first Cold Opening and later functioning as the show's On the Next segments. In February 2018, it was fully turned into an Anthology Comic by Bkub and other artists, letting the audience for the first time see what the manga (probably) would have been like.In September 2023, the manga returned to Manga Life Win under the name Hoshiiro Girldrop Redrop!, apparently with the cast having gone through multiple unseen adventures since its last chapter.

comment
Anti-Humor: When paired up with Pop Team Epic, the humor of the series comes from being played absolutely straight compared to its trope-loving cousin. The anthology zig-zags this, thanks to the humor style ranging from being chapters from a straightlaced romcom idol series to chapters from the hypothetical gag spinoffs of said straightlaced romcom idol series.

Ordinary High-School Student: Parodied with Daichi in "Abeiiro Girldrop". He describes himself as a normal high school student before throwing it out the window to save a dog from an oncoming truck. After being told to describe Daichi to the emergency hotline, the dog describes him as "a normal high school student that looks like he would say 'sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do'".

Creative Differences: invoked One clip in the anime shows the group about to break up due to a difference in the direction they want to take when Sosogu wants to do a show with their rivals Devil Volcano. Sosogu's vote of ballad is up against two votes for metalcore from her bandmates.

Noodle Incident: According to their character profiles, Daichi got an injury that will permanently prevent him from playing basketball again, Sosogu's aiming for a Nobel Prize in cuteness, and Shakano used to be a Child Soldier for a drug ring. "Logic & Hime-chan's Punch" mentions a ton of these, along with a helpful footnote for each incident.

Author Powers: "Abeiiro Girldrop" features Abe-san (the Author Avatar for that chapter) simply hitting Daichi's electrocardiogram to keep him from flatlining when he gets in a coma. He also presumably was responsible for Sosogu telling Daichi she wants to become Abe-san's wife.

Mood Whiplash: After 10 episode previews of lighthearted, if occasionally sad content, episode 11's preview shows Sosogu died in an accident and was revived 5 years ago, is about to die again to save everyone, and Daichi is willing to make sure she doesn't go through with it. If that wasn't enough, the Season 2 preview snaps right back to light and fluffy as if that drama bomb never occurred.
