Word was he'd punched a fan'High-school student Akari has only one passion in her life: her oshi, her idol.
His name is Masaki Ueno, best known as one-fifth of Japanese pop group Maza Maza.
Akari's dedication to her oshi consumes her days completely.

He is the spine of her life; she cannot survive without him.
