Kirari (voiced by Koharu Kusumi of Morning Musume!) is a middle schooler who LOVES her food. So much so that it's scary! While girls her age swoon over idols, Kirari swoons over her dad's cooking, and couldn't care less about the life of a celebrity. But when she saves the pet turtle of Seiji of pop group SHIPS and falls in love, she decides to become an idol herself so that they can be together (or so she hopes).
Episode 53:
Kirari's dad has quit his company job and opened up a cafe, here called Kirarin Cafe. It's been his dream since he was young to have such a endeaver, and Kirari offers to pitch in when she can, with SHIPS occasionally helping when their schedule allows. Eventually a woman named Rokoko Mareda, a famous "food tester," comes to check the place out. With a voice and laugh that could melt steel, she accuses Kirari's papa of making food that is too ordinary (something you could easily find in the store or at home), while riding on his daughter's fame by naming the cafe after her. Can this snobby foodie be proven wrong? Will a dream be ruined before it really had a chance to start?
Episode 54:
Naa-san has an admirer! After bravely saving a pink girl cat being bullied, he finds that he just can't shake her off. Nyuutan follows Naa-san, Kirari, and Seiji to a special animal idols show, where she ruins his performance by tripping the camera people. Eventually they let her come with them on more jobs, but after awhile Nyuutan becomes jealous of Naa-san's relationship with Kirari and gives her a declaration of battle. Winner takes Naa-san!
Now I understand why Kirari was working in a cafe in that issue of Ciao I bought. It's her dad's and not some kind of promotional gimmick, like I earlier assumed.
I guess Naa-san had to have a would-be love interest eventually :)
