History Manga / HoshiiroGirldrop

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…

Originally written as a oneshot after ''Manga/PopTeamEpic''[='=]s first season of strips, ''Hoshiiro Girldrop'' is Bkub Okawa's send-up to idols, romcoms, and especially [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs idol-based romcoms]], packed with [[{{Troperiffic}} 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 Creator/KamikazeDouga. 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 ColdOpening and later functioning as the show's OnTheNext segments. In February 2018, it was fully turned into an AnthologyComic by Bkub and other artists, letting the audience for the first time see what the manga ([[DependingOnTheWriter probably]]) would have been like.

* MoodWhiplash: After 10 episode previews of lighthearted, if occasionally sad content, episode 11's preview shows [[spoiler: 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.]]

* WhamShot: [[spoiler: Sosogu abruptly tearing her face off in the last page, revealing the ''real'' purpose of the oneshot.]]

* BroadStrokes: The basic plot, Daichi and Sosogu's relationship, and the dynamic of the Drop Stars are the most consistent things between each chapter.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The anime's ending phrase of "fall in love again!" subtly foreshadows the end of the series where [[spoiler:it's revealed that Daichi was in love with Sosgu, lost his memories of her, and proceeded to fall in love with her again after her revival]].

* Bookends: The last anthology chapter ends with Sosogu coming to Daichi's house and chastising him for not remembering her, just as she does in the oneshot.

* DidTheyOrDidntThey: Episode 10 previes a kiss between Sosogu and Daichi, bt because [[spoiler:the whole anime is limited to previews]], that's all we get of the scene.

* AffectionateParody: Of IdolSinger manga, considering Bkub's known love of [[Anime/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls one series in particular]].
