## Synopsis

Pythagoras Production produces its new idol unit, "Marginal #4." Its members, Atom Kirihara, Rui Aiba, L Nomura, and R Nomura, are the idols who will deliver their kiss to the ends of the galaxy. Outside the stage they are just normal high schoolers with their own problems. In Pythagoras Production they continue to mature as idols along with the help of the already famous senior unit, Lagrange Point, and the younger unit who expect to make their debut, Unicorn Jr. This is the tale of Margninal #4, a school slice-of-life about idols that shine brighter than the stars.

Marginal#4 Idol of Supernova is an otome game developed by both Rejet and Otomate. It centers around, Marginal#4, a new idol group.

**STORY**

"I want to see the shooting stars that fall onto the stage."

That's the dream of the manager of the agency. These four individualistic new idols were grouped for this purpose. Named "MARGINAL #4", they aim to debut as in idol group.

Wild and self-assured, the confident Atom Kirihara has talent but is hard to handle. Even though he looks feminine and gentle, Rui Aiba leaves a somewhat a cold impression. Twins that are splitting images of each other, but exude differing auras. L Nomura is showy, very confident, and is the younger twin. In contrast, R Nomura acts like he's hiding behind his younger brother's shadow.

Then there's MARGINAL #4's seniors, "LAGRANGE POINT". Though stoic with goals to reach the top, Shy Mikishima is a little proud. On one hand, Kira Himuro is cheerful and good at taking care of others, but on the other, he has a crude side to him.

Those two as well, were grouped together with the same goal of "showering stars" and aim for the big stage.

The one who holds the key to allow them to truly shine is their manager and protagonist, Yue Kataoka. How will she guide the scattered individuals of the group?
