B.B. Explosion (Japanese: はじけてB.B., Hepburn: Hajikete Bī Bī) is a manga by Yasue Imai licensed in the U.S. by VIZ Media.

Contents

The story revolves around little Airi from Okinawa who enters the Actors school dreaming of appearing in the TV show called Boom Boom (hence the B.B. in the title).

Plot

Airi is a talented young girl who dreams about making a big splash in show business one day. Unfortunately, she lives in Okinawa. And that's the wrong place to be for little girls with stars in their eyes.

But hope springs eternal for all dreamers. Each week, a variety show called Boom Boom showcases fresh and exciting talent on TV. Airi decides she has to be on that show. With that goal in mind, she enrolls at an actor's school in the big city.

Inspired by her new environs, Airi is determined to turn the world on with her smile. But, of course, there are hundreds of other kids at school with exactly the same dream. The competition is fierce, but with hard work and a whole lot of charm, Airi has taken her first step in becoming Japan's next big thing.

Characters

Airi Ishikawa
Airi is a young girl who dreams of meeting her idol Issa from the boy band Da Pump. She enters actors' school to achieve this dream but later figures out her big passion of becoming a singer can bring joy to all those who listen. She is very lively and sweet but she sometimes compares herself to other people.
Yū Yamada
Yū is another girl who also dreams of being a brilliant singer-dancer but she is also thinking about becoming a model. Yū can be really over excited and refers to herself in the third person.
Yumi Kōchi
Yumi is also attending actors' school. She is older than Yū and Airi but she still hangs out with them. She got into actors while doing an audition with her best friend; only Yumi got in, though. Yumi is more serious and also has the tendency to get hungry easily.
Da Pump
A boy band that went to actors' school and graduated right when Airi joined. Features a fan-favorite leader named Issa, who was Airi's inspiration for entering actors' school.
