| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) | comment |
Mimi Nagisa, formerly a member of the idol group Stella, used to dream of stardom. But after Stella dissolved, she stopped dreaming and woke up. Now she works a dead-end job in a convenience store to pay for her idol otaku habits while lying to her family that she's job-seeking. Although her life at present is meager and pathetic, she has convinced herself that she isn't special enough to excel the way she wants to.That is, until she attends a handshake event with up-and-coming idol Ibuki Nanakusa, a member of Sugar Smile. Shockingly, Ibuki recognizes Mimi as the one who inspired her to become an idol. Ibuki confesses that she's going to leave her own group behind and try out for a prestigious idol audition, the Super Star Ship, held by world-famous solo artist Aria Otoboshi. And, what's more, Ibuki wants Mimi to audition with her. Seizing on the chance to start again, Mimi agrees and the two girls set off for the audition.Unfortunately for them, Aria is staging a survival audition. Taking a page from the Reality TV playbook, the sixteen best candidates are herded onto a cruise ship, forced to compete against each other, and whittled down until only the five best remain. Will these two girls be able to realize their dreams together when they find themselves split apart by competition?IDOL x IDOL STORY! is a seinen manga by Shotaro Tokuno. It has been published on Comic Fuz (Houbunsha's online-only brand) since 2022. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_1779f10e | comment |
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Karin Kokonoe was a promising child actress, but she envied the look her mother (an idol producer) got when she watched idols performing and decided to pursue a career as an idol despite numerous failed auditions. Now, she's joined the survival audition her mother is producing to finally make her mother look at her as an idol. | |

Obscure Popularity | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_197384f5 | comment |
Obscure Popularity: In-Universe. Mimi's old idol group Stella never caught on with the general public and fizzled out, yet many people within the idol industry and its fandom regard them (and her in particular) fairly highly. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: On the outside, Yuuri seems to be an attentive and caring sister to Tsumugi. However, flashbacks reveal she was very resentful of Tsumugi for having asthma, which caused the family to move to the middle of nowhere in pursuit of cleaner air and ruined Yuuri's plan to become an idol. When she's alone with Tsumugi, she gaslights her little sister into thinking everybody else will abandon her and that she can't trust anybody. | |

Implausible Hair Color: Although it doesn't rise to the level of World of Technicolor Hair, Japanese hair colors in the manga include lilac, blonde, rose, red, brown, and black. Based on Ibuki's comment in chapter 10 that she has a thing for black-haired girls, this isn't just an effect to make them stand out — they really do have those hair colors. | |

Training Montage: At the beginning of chapter 2, Ibuki goes through her morning routine and Mimi accompanies her. While Ibuki is an active idol and is in perfect shape, Mimi ... isn't. At one point, we see Mimi jogging while her little sister rides a bicycle behind her and berates her with a megaphone. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: When Mimi is tasked with ranking the sixteen candidates, it's obvious her new friend Koyuki is dead-last. But, unsure whether the last place will be eliminated, Mimi waffles on ranking her fifteenth instead, even though Suzu turned in a marginally-better performance. Aria, who is watching the deliberations via camera, decides on a whim that if Mimi does rank Koyuki fifteenth, she's going to cut Suzu. But Mimi chooses to be honest and rank Koyuki last, and so everybody passes. | |

Combat Commentator: Since manga is a static, visual medium, the characters have to explain things about the idols' performance for the benefit of the audience, such as when Mimi narrates how Ibuki switched from a happy song to an depressing song to take advantage of the depressing mood in chapter 3. | |

Hard Work Fallacy: Mimi and her co-idols in Stella put everything they had into performing, and still failed. This leads Mimi to conclude she just doesn't have what it takes to be a charismatic idol — but Ibuki begs to differ. | |

Improbably Female Cast: Downplayed, compared to Tokuno's work in Manga Time Kirara. Although the bulk of the characters are female, it doesn't shy away from showing male idol fans, and the dance instructors aboard Starship are male. We even catch a brief glimpse of Mimi's dad in chapter 5 — halfway out of frame, standing behind a doorway, his face hidden while he cries his eyes out, natch. | |

Can't Catch Up | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_94d2506d | comment |
Can't Catch Up: Mimi is 22 years old (she barely met the cutoff date for the Starship) and horribly out of shape, while Ibuki is 17 and extremely fit thanks to her training regimen. Consequently, after they submit their videos for the first stage selection, Ibuki is in first place while Mimi is dead-last at fiftieth. It's a very real possibility that Mimi simply won't be able to catch up to Ibuki in time to win the competition. | |

Smash Cut: In chapter 2, when Ibuki convinces Mimi to try out for Starship, Mimi triumphantly thinks that she can do anything. Smash cut to her on the verge of collapsing during a grueling jog, whining that she can't do it. Chapter 10 opens with Suzu's impassioned, earnest video audition on why she wants to attend the Star Ship. It then immediately cuts to her whining in the middle of a grueling training session that she wants to go home. | |

| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_c38afac1 | comment |
Otaku: Both Mimi and Suzu are idol otaku, although Mimi is more of a general fan of idols and their music while Suzu is specifically described as an information-gathering otaku. | |

Gamer Chick: According to her profile, Hibana likes fighting games. It fits with her Tomboyish personality. | |

I Just Want to Be Special | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_cb83d23b | comment |
I Just Want to Be Special: Although Mei has talent, she was passed over at her idol academy on the grounds that she has no individuality. Since then, her lack of uniqueness has become a major sticking point for her. | |

Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_d67e900a | comment |
Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Mimi quit being an idol, and now she works in a convenience store solely to earn money to support buying idol merch and tickets. She muses to herself that she'd make more money working at a company, but then she shoots it down because she wouldn't have enough time to enjoy being an idol otaku. This is how Ibuki finds her after Mimi runs away from the Sugar Smile handshake event. | |

Throwing Off the Disability: Tsumugi has asthma attacks brought on by stress, which threaten to take her out of commission right before her team's first concert. But after a pep talk by the ship's doctor, she realizes everybody is afraid sometimes and that fear is only natural. Once her asthma attack dies down, she rips off her face mask and declares she will sing with Mimi and the others. | |

Literal-Minded: In chapter 1, when Mimi's sister finds evidence she went to an idol concert and Mimo denies it, her sister says Mimi reeks of otaku. Mimi thinks she means it literally and sniffs her outfit, inadvertantly revealing she went to the concert after all. | |

Greek Chorus | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_e4d079c1 | comment |
Greek Chorus: In chapter 1, we focus on two random idol otaku standing in line to greet Ibuki behind Mimi so they can provide exposition about Mimi and Stella. The idol Aria Otoboshi and her producer Kaede Kokonoe watch the candidates through the cameras and comment on the proceedings. | |

Technician Versus Performer | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_ef3d1b57 | comment |
Technician Versus Performer: The manga emphasizes that being technically perfect means nothing — which is why Karin Kokonoe placed tenth. An idol must connect with the audiences' hearts, thus being a performer is everything. | |

The Idiot from Osaka | |
| IDOL × IDOL STORY! (Manga) / int_ff191f42 | comment |
The Idiot from Osaka: Hibana is technically from Hiroshima and not Osaka, but she still has many traits of this trope. While she isn't dumb per se, her idol application in chapter 8.5 specifically describes her as "unrefined". Her reason for participating has a very folksy tone, her profile picture is fairly fiery (not to mention her red hair), and her hobby is fighting games. | |
