Alice In Bishounen Land Volume 1

Alice Kagami is an ordinary high school girl who doesn't really get her friend Tamami's obsession with idol games. There's more to life than handsome digital boys, dating sims, and mini-games, right? But then, Tamami is "chosen" as one of the top idol fangirls in the country and gets drawn into the game — and hapless Alice gets pulled in too! Between dealing with the mismatched members of her idol group to intense pressure to spend real money on gachas, how is a total idol game newbie supposed to take them to the top?

"Alice Kagami inadvertently gets herself trapped in the world of the otome game "Koiiro ♡ School Stars" alongside her best friend, Tatsumi, who's a huge fan of the game. The only way to escape is to train the idols of the school to become top stars. However, the five candidates that appear are a half-dog, a ghost, fairy-sized (8 inches tall), a giant (59 feet tall), and a 41 year old teacher who looks like a child. Useless game, only generating shallow, handsome guys with weird quirks! How on earth is she supposed to win with this motley crew of pretty boys? And all the while her best friend doesn't want her to win and end her dream of living surrounded by gorgeous boys. What's Alice to do?!"--

Together with her mismatched group of handsome boys, Alice learns to brave the gacha again, level up her idols, and join in summer festival fun.
