About this series
CRASH! is a hugely popular shojo manga series created by Yuka Fujiwara, serialized in Shueisha's Ribon magazine. The story centres on Hana Shiraboshi, the daughter of a talent agency president who possesses a unique physical trait: whenever she sees someone with true idol potential, her nose bleeds.
Hana uses her instinct to discover five extraordinarily talented boys with contrasting personalities. She brings them together to form a brand-new male idol unit named CRASH!, taking on the challenge of producer to guide their journey from rookies to superstars.
The manga is divided into two distinct story arcs, with Part 1 covering the formation and meteoric rise of CRASH!, while Part 2 shifts focus to a new generation of trainees supporting the group two years later. Throughout both parts, teamwork, stage performances, and blossoming romance drive the drama.
