Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Yutaka Horiuchi was literally on top of the world. A popular idol, she was beloved by countless fans, and was the darling of the entertainment scene, where she was regularly sought-out for various events and projects. However behind her bright and friendly public persona lurked a deeply cynical young woman with a huge chip on her shoulder, and whose prime motivation was the accumulation of money and fame, in that order.When her management suddenly saddles her with a radio show, she's suitably disapointed because the pay wasn't that good to begin with. But when a food poisoning-related incident nearly dooms the show before it starts (and forces Yutaka to make a prolonged stay in the ladies' room), the production staff somehow manage to salvage situation by using a chance discovery... That one of their assistants, Harumi Tanaka, shared the same voice as her! Yutaka wasn't pleased of course, and then promptly quit. It was just one dinky radio program, after all. She had other jobs she could turn to anyway...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })And then everything suddenly came tumbling down.The president of her talent firm skips town, and what's more, leaves Yutaka saddled with all of the company's debt. With her reputation ruined, all she had left was the same radio show she so casually disregarded, but this time around, she had Harumi to help her through this low spot in her career. Can she ever go back to being a top idol though just through the show? Yutaka wants to try anyway.Written and drawn by Keiji Watarai, O/A (オー・エー) was serialized in Young Ace magazine from November 2009 to September 2012. The manga is considered complete, with seven compiled volumes released. A radio drama based on it also aired in 2011 on True Comic Weekly+ Kai (真・週刊コミックTV＋版). | |

Waiting for a Break: Harumi wants to be a comedian (and in Chapter 9 is actually shown doing stand-up comedy at an amateur event) but apart from her part in the O/A radio show, her "real" job is delivering newspapers in the morning. | |

The Rival: Miho Kaieda, to Yutaka, though Yutaka treats her as an annoyance most of the time. However, as many entries on this page note, she's not simply Yutaka's rival — she's also Yutaka's biggest fan. | |

| O/A (Manga) / int_2882c8c1 | comment |
Career-Ending Injury: Prior to becoming an idol, Miho was a national-level baseball player, and many predicted that she would go on to represent the country for the Olympics. However a shoulder injury permanently ended that dream for her. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| O/A (Manga) / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: Behind her cheerful public persona, Yutaka is revealed to be a cynical money-grubber who took her idol work very seriously. In the wake of her fall from grace, her greedy side had mostly disappeared, leaving behind the cynic who still takes any work she can get seriously. Miho never fails to put down and belittle Yutaka whenever they run into each other. However this condescending attitude hides a very very devoted fangirl, who on some level still believes that Yutaka will be able to rise above the rut she's fallen into. | |

| O/A (Manga) / int_643060dc | comment |
Fleeting Passionate Hobbies: One of the things that galled Yutaka about her sister was how she kept on flitting from one interest to another when she could have arguably become the best at any of them had she focused on just a single one. | |

Tsundere: Yutaka, in a non-romantic manner, whenever she makes an excuse to check on whatever it is Harumi is doing. She even gives the classic tsundere line while she and Ootsuka are heading to the theater where Harumi will try her stand-up routine at. | |

Non-Promotion: Yutaka's manager Ootsuka becomes President Ootsuka, when she starts up her own talent agency to continue managing Yutaka... Except this has been what she's always been doing anyway. The only thing that changed really was her job title, but that's it. | |

Forgotten First Meeting: Yutaka has long forgotten that she had actually met Miho before, during an audition when they were both amateurs. Ironically it was Yutaka's irritated outburst during that meeting that actually shaped Miho's idol persona. | |

The Ace | |
| O/A (Manga) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Yutaka's elder sister Sayaka, who was smart, charismatic, and easily mastered anything she got interested in, but never enough where she'd stand out and be actually recognized for what she could do. It was her casual attitude to this that angered Yutaka, as she felt it belittled her own achievements, enough so that she moved out to Tokyo just to make a point. However this is shown to be subverted later on, where Sayaka's ace traits are shown in a less positive light — as Kisaragi notes, because Sayaka could do everything, she was unable to be attached to anything or anyone, something that Sayaka herself admits to Harumi later on. | |

| O/A (Manga) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Showing a lack of ambition is sure to set off Yutaka, especially when the person in question actually has the skills to suceed or excel at whatever they're doing. It causes her to blow up on Harumi when the latter seems mostly fine with her very awkward stand-up routine, and was the primary case of her estrangement with her older sister Sayaka (who was an extremely gifted person who could literally do anything, and yet was just letting her talents go to waste). | |

Cringe Comedy | |
| O/A (Manga) / int_c5ef2d50 | comment |
Cringe Comedy: Not intentional, but Harumi's stand-up routine during the amateurs event couldn't be seen as anything but this. It was so awkward that Yutaka (who was secretly watching with Ootsuka in the audience) could barely watch. Ironically, Harumi is actually much funnier while she's on-air, likely due to the fact that she can't actually see the people she's performing to. | |
