'Action Heroine Cheer Fruits' Anime Spoilers: Can Action Heroine Live Shows Bring Dying City Back to Glory Days?
Hinano City's popularity is dwindling, and the city continues to sink in heavy debt because of it. Wanting to do her part in saving her beloved city, high school girl Misaki Shirogane comes up with the perfect plan on the new Japanese comedy anime series "Action Heroine Cheer Fruits."
The idea to establish their own Action Heroine Project came from the popularity of a certain city's action heroine. This has eventually become a trend, leading many districts across Japan to create their own local action heroines and hold various live action hero shows aimed at promoting their towns.
Misaki is the niece of the governor of Hinano, a fact that only makes her more eager to help out however way she can. She has an epiphany when she witnesses her fellow students, Ann Akagi and Mikan Kise performing an amateur hero show. She decides to enroll Ann, Mikan, and a handful of other girls from school to the Action Heroine Project. It is here that they will learn everything they need to know about putting on their very own promotional action heroine live shows.
