Synopsis[]

A new crop of students descends on Kirin Arts High School, which has been taken over by Oz Entertainment and its own batch of aspiring stars.

—Official Netflix Description[1]

A war breaks out between existing stars that transfer to Kirin High School and stars that are just now beginning to shine. The question of who is really a star is meaningless to those who are already stars. It's a war to see who can rise to the top and become the sun. They fight to become the sun, the center of the solar system around which everything revolves. Through endless friction and explosions, they work hard to shine brighter and grind their rough edges down on others to become the sun that all others revolve around. However, more than one sun exists. There is only one sun in the solar system, but many suns in the universe.

This tale is of the war of stars as they seek to become the sun.[2]
