Hello hi and welcome to my thread featuring my own take on an A3! idol au. To start, I based this au off a real kpop setting (haha here comes my anime kpoppie self and I& #39;m absolutely not sorry-) and each troupe featured here is inspired by certain kpop boy groups.
Aight, leggo!
Aight, leggo!
To start things off, let& #39;s introduce Mankai Company, well, Mankai Entertainment Company in this case. I imagine it to be a humble building like its theatre counterpart that is equipped with everything necessary. I used FNC as an example!
Next, the music shows. The only thing I have right now is "Veludo Countdown", very obviously inspired by M CountDown. The idols compete in the rankings to take the top spot of the week and it& #39;s up to fans to stream and vote! All Mankai groups compete to win-
-and try their best to hold onto the top spot in this AU. Other than that, Veludo Countdown is the most beloved music show in Veludo Way and I have yet to think of more music shows. I& #39;ll update the thread when I do!
Of couse, there& #39;s a counterpart for the Fleur Award inspired by MAMA. Fleur Music Awards, or the FMA for short, is the most prestigeous award show in this AU. FMA is at least better than MAMA in terms of camerawork and the glamorous stage is what makes performances memorable.
Okay! Let& #39;s finally get to our Mankai idols. I& #39;ll use bullet points for this-
- Mankai Ent. is theatre inspired (obviously)
- Has a long history dating back to 1991
- There are 24 idols, 4 groups known as "troupes" with 6 members each
- Mankai Ent. is theatre inspired (obviously)
- Has a long history dating back to 1991

- The current CEO is Tachibana Izumi, daughter of the previous and currently missing(?) CEO, Tachibana Yukio
