MARGINAL #4 the Animation (Marginal#4: Kiss kara Tsukuru Big Bang) blends comedy, school and music by J.C.Staff (2017). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: The freshly debuted idol group Marginal#4 dreams of delivering their kisses to the end of the galaxy. Composed of Atom Kirihara, Rui Aiba, and the twins L and R Nomura, Marginal#4 aims to reach the top of the idol world, following in the footsteps of Pythagoras Productions' previous idol group, Lagrange Point.

As things develop, when they aren't performing, however, the boys of Marginal#4 are everyday high school students. From securing a club room and chasing down missing underwear to filming commercials, their days are packed with various hijinks. As the boys navigate a flurry of events, they try to become shooting star sensations and charm the hearts of their fans, known as the Starclusters.
