History Manga / TheIdolmaster2TheWorldIsAllOne

* TheTeam: Greatly emphasized when the girls insist the their Producer start addressing them more familiarly. The four of them are in it together!
** PowerTrio: With Producer working behind the scenes, the [=SprouT=] girls become this. Haruka being thoughtful but not as talented, Hibiki having the talent at the cost of being thoughtless, and Yukiho being the compromiser between everyone.

** The Producer's exact words when he notices SprouT's reaction to him grabbing hold of a panicking fangirl, which to anyone else looks like a man accosting a teen girl. By this point the girls are used to these situations though, and just tell him to let go and explain.

* AmbiguousSyntax: President Kuroi leaves instructions for the spy/producer on what do do to sabotage 765 Pro. Fortunately Producer finds most of these orders so vaguely worded that he's able to get [=SprouT=] out of trouble while remaining true to his orders. Being told in no ambiguous terms to shut down the theater fuse box during a concert however, [[spoiler:requires an act of God to get him out of.]]

* IdolSinger: Well obviously. Though their singing is just one of the many jobs they do as idols.
* ImprobableAge: Discussed between Producer and Ritsuko, after the latter is going through a crisis of confidence. Producer notes that Ritsuko probably had to take a lot of flak from people who thought a 19 year old intern had no business being a producer and admires her perseverance.
* LettingHerHairDown: After some harsh words from Iori hit an already self-doubting Ritsuko she takes the day off. When the Producer goes to see her she's not in her business suit and let her hair out of it's normal bun. This, along with their conversation, serve to remind everyone that Ritsuko, is in fact, a nineteen year old girl.
* [[spoiler:LiarRevealed:]] [[spoiler:President Kuroi reveals to [=SprouT=] that their precious Producer was working for him the whole time. They don't take it well at all.]]

* MustMakeAmends: After their trust in him is shattered [[spoiler:following the reveal that he is a spy]], Producer tries to leave 765 Pro so he won't hurt the girls anymore. A passionate plea from Yukiho, though leads him instead to go back to them and fix everything.

** The Producer's exact words when he notices SprouT's reaction to him grabbing hold of an panicking fangirl, which to anyone else looks like a man accosting a teen girl. By this point the girls are used to these situations though, and just tell him to let go and explain.

* OnlySixFaces: Typical for iDOLM@STER, but particularly egregious in one chapter when a overeager fan is basically Yukiho with a hair clip.

* ReformedButRejected: The Reformed - The Producer [[spoiler:following his reveal as a spy]]. The Rejector - Hibiki, who didn't take the betrayel of trust well at all. Subverted when Yukiho realizes that [[BecomingTheMask the Producer really did care for them in his time as part of 765 pro]].

* [[WhenSheSmiles When They Smile]]: One thing Producer for sure never lied about; the girls' smiles are ''magic'' and the key to their success. Protecting that joyous infection if what keeps him going and [[spoiler:after offering to resign following his spy reveal]], the president points out that Haruka, Hibiki, and Yukiho used to always wear fake, lifeless smiles before he came along.

Once upon a time there was a [[NoNameGiven nameless]], nonentity of a man working at the idol talent agency, 961 Production, doing doing nothing but tedious office work. That changes one day when he's sent to the office of 765 Production, a rival agency whose president his boss has a grudge against. A run in with several of 765's idol singers and a case of mistaken identity leads to some trouble but once everything is cleared up, our nameless protagonist is offered a job as a producer for 765 Pro! Much to his surprise his own president orders him to take the job, figuring it's a perfect opportunity to spy and sabotage his hated rival from within.

Enter Haruka Amami, Hibiki Ganaha, and Yukiho Hagiwara - the three "house sitters" of 765 Production. Despite having debuted as idols a year ago, they have no auditions, no jobs, and no popularity and thus spend all their time at the office doing nothing. Basically as nonexistent as their new producer. For indeed, the 961 Pro spy is appointed as the producer for the three fledgling, and failing, idols with the hope that some professional management will turn their fortunes around.

It's at this point the Producer discovers that A) He does in fact make a pretty good producer and B) He finds himself growing very fond of the girls placed in his care. Together, they form the idol unit [=SprouT=]. Their optimism, dedication, and blind faith in him being able to do what they couldn't on their own inspires him to work hard on their behalf with the hope that they will be successful. But how can he build up these young girls' dreams when at the same time his real mission is to crush them?

''THE iDOLM@STER 2: The World is All One!!'' is an adaption of VideoGame/TheIdolmaster2, taking Haruka, Hibiki, and Yukiho as a unit along with Producer filling in for the player. It was released in 2012 and is an ongoing series.

* BeadyEyedLoser: Producer. Even his coworkers at 961 Pro thought he was a slouching, unmotivated, and untalented good-for-nothing. The girls eventually take him out to buy a pair of much needed glasses, which have the added affect of giving his face more variety.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: The Producer's exact words when he notices SprouT's reaction to him grabbing hold of an panicking fangirl, which to anyone else looks like a man accosting a teen girl. By this point the girls are used to these situations though, and just tell him to let go and explain.

* ReformedButRejected: The Reformed - The Producer [[spoiler:following his reveal as a spy]]. The Rejector - Hibiki, who didn't take the betrayel of trust well at all.

* TheHeart: Yukiho. Normally just the gentle and mild mannered voice of reason for her two bickering partners, she also [[spoiler:goes out to pleas with their Producer to come back after he's outed as a spy, saying she still believes in him and [=SprouT=] still needs him.]]

* ReformedbutRejected: The Reformed - The Producer [[spoiler:following his reveal as a spy]]. The Rejector - Hibiki, who didn't take the betrayel of trust well at all.

* [[spoiler:WelcomeBackTraitor: After Being outed as a mole by the president of 961 in front of [=SprouT=], Producer takes it upon himself to go the whole nine yards and come clean to the president of 765 Pro. Not only does the president take it pretty well, he asks him to stay on board as a producer. Hibiki, on the other hand, is less welcoming.]]

* RightForTheWrongReasons: The boy idol group of 961 Pro is understandably pissed that [=SprouT=]'s Producer would stoop so low as to try and sabotage rival agencies,never realizing it's not them he's supposed to be knocking down, but his own unit, [=SprouT=], on their behalf.

* LettingHerHairDown: After some harsh words from Iori hit and already self-doubting Ritsuko, she takes the day off. When the Producer goes to see her, she's not in her business suit and let her hair out of it's normal bun. This, along with their conversation, serve to remind everyone that Ritsuko, is in fact, a nineteen year old girl.
* [[spoiler:LiarRevealed: President Kuroi reveals to [=SprouT=] that their precious Producer was working for him the whole time. They don't take it well at all.]]
* LuckyCharmsTitle: In addition to the franchise' usual odd spelling and capitalization, The World Is All One!! adds those two exclamation points as part of the title.

* TheMole: Producer, as you might have surmised by now.
* MomentKiller: More like Moment ''Killers'', as Hibiki and Yukiho have a tendency to eavesdrop on their Producer and Haruka's chats and reveal themselves, accidentally or purposefully, causing Haruka to get flustered.

* OnlySixFaces: Typical for iDOLM@STER, but particularly egregious in one chapter when a absentminded but overzealous fan is basically Yukiho with a hair clip.

* PowerOfTrust: Trust, its power, its betrayal, it's reforming are all key components of the story. Not surprising when youe lead character is TheMole. One chapter is even titled, ''The Form "Trust" Takes''.

--> ''This, this is their story. A story of an idol unit and their producer. The relationship theu shared might have been a little strange, but their story was, without a doubt, about "Unity".''

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Complete with black, cracked-like background. Seeing that they are intimidated by the giant auditorium that they are auditioning in, the Producer tries to boost [=SprouT=]'s confidence by saying it'll be just like the other jobs they've done before. After listing off their ridiculously short amount of gigs, they girls realize ''they've never done anything like this before''. All three promptly chicken out and try to run away.

* OnlySixFaces: Typical for iDOLM@STER, but particularly egregious in one chapter when a new character in practically a carbon copy of Yukiho.

Enter Haruka Amami, Hibiki Ganaha, and Yuki Hagiwara - the three "house sitters" of 765 Production. Despite having debuted as idols a year ago, they have no auditions, no jobs, and no popularity and thus spend all their time at the office doing nothing.
