Plot

After an unspecified major failure, Yakuza underlings Kentaro, Ryo and Kazuhiko are forced by their boss, Inugane, to either commit seppuku and sell their organs or go to Thailand to undergo sex reassignment surgery, and train to become idols. They choose the latter and debut as Airi, Mari and Chika, the Gokudols. They suffer abuse from Inugane as he trains them to become idols. Still, their hearts are Yakuza, and their brotherhood is strong.

As Mari, she is considered the cool member of the trio. She always gets fan letters, which attracts the jealousy of the others, Chika especially. She hates sweets, to the point of breaking up with his previous girlfriend over it. Mari's ex-Yakuza father is transgender. She also suffers butt problems, notably hemorrhoids.

She always gets cute items, much to Mari's irritation, and occasionally slips "cute" idol words, again much to the others' irritation. It took a long time for his/her father to acknowledge him/her after transitioning.
