No-Rin
On Tokyo MX
A lighthearted romantic comedy about rural school life and idol fandom, built on comedic reversals and the warmth of a tight friend group navigating crushes and daily mishaps.
Teenager Hata Kosaku is crushed when his favorite singing idol, Kusakabe Yuka, stuns the world by retiring from show business. Kosaku’s friends try to cheer him up, but nothing can chase away his gloomy mood until Yuka herself transfers into his class at Tamo Agriculture School!
