Honeys Anime described the synopsis as follows,
“The idol unit TiNgS has big dreams, but they have little to show for their efforts. Kyoka Tamaki, Haru Nabatame, and Rio Seibu put their hopes in the hands of a manager who they’ve been told is the best around, but… what they got was the seemingly lazy Naoki Nissei. However, he does have one particular ability… Join the girls on the path that lights their way to becoming the best idols the world has ever known!”
The light novels are published by ASCII Media Works for their Dengeki Bunko imprint while the manga is released by Media Factory and serialized in the ‘Monthly Comic Alive’ magazine. The video game is produced by Akihiro Ishihara.
