Dropout Idol Fruit Tart (2020 Anime Series) - Season 1 - Episode 7

Season 1 (Oct–Dec 2020, 12 episodes, produced by Studio feel.) follows Fruit Tart’s scrappy climb: writing songs, practicing choreography, taking odd jobs, and accepting any live performance they can get. Their efforts are shepherded by their manager Hoho Kajino and cheered on by neighbor Midori Hemo, an experienced idol who becomes a fan of Sakura and eventually joins the group. Along the way, the series balances workplace comedy with heartfelt moments as the girls confront past failures, build confidence, and learn to rely on each other while racing against creditors and the threat of losing the dorm.
