"Wake Up, Girls!" follows seven young women from Sendai, Miyagi who form the idol group "Wake Up, Girls! (WUG)" with the goal of reaching the top of the idol world. Supported by the small Sendai-based agency "Green Leaves Entertainment," WUG overcame numerous challenges and achieved victory over the national idol collective "I-1 club" at the Idol Festival, securing their success. However, this triumph did not simplify their path, as the shrinking idol market created new difficulties. The members remained dedicated and continued their daily efforts as idols. Meanwhile, three middle school students from Sendai—Hayashi Ayumi, Morishima Otome, and Atsugi Itsuka—developed an increasingly strong desire to become idols themselves.

Convinced these guardians hold the key to her mission, Kyrie will go to any lengths to secure their cooperation. Yet her attempts to provoke them into helping prove difficult. The situation grows even more fraught when Amitie arrives on Earth, determined to stop Kyrie's dangerous plan and bring her home.
