The competition heats up, as best friends go after the once-in-a-lifetime

chance to become pop stars in volume 3 of this funny,

feel-good manga series, perfect for fans of K-On!, The

Tryout, and The Baby-sitters Club.

Hikaru's dreams of stardom are so close... and yet so

far! She’s pushing herself to the limit to improve her singing

and dancing skills for the Girls in the Light pop idol competition,

but she still doubts she can ever hold a candle to her best

friend, Ran, and the other girls. When the contestants are divided

into competing groups for the next round, will Hikaru shine

for her team... or risk elimination?
