Plot
Gorou Amamiya, an obstetrician-gynecologist and admirer of the pop idol Ai Hoshino, is entrusted with the confidential delivery of her children. On the night of the birth, he is murdered by an obsessive fan of Ai's and is reincarnated as her son, Aquamarine "Aqua" Hoshino, retaining all memories of his past life. Unbeknownst to him, his fraternal twin sister, Ruby Hoshino, is the reincarnation of Sarina Tendōji, a deceased patient of Gorou's who also admired Ai. Four years later, Ai is murdered before the twins' eyes by the same fan who killed Gorou. Though the fan subsequently commits suicide, Aqua deduces their biological father may have been an accomplice and resolves to infiltrate the entertainment industry to find and exact revenge upon him.
