Due to the falling popularity of their restaurant, the Soft Rock Cafe, thirteen-year-old Kanade Iwasawa's family falls into debt.

Trivia

 * The Iwasawa family restaurant, the Soft Rock Cafe, is a parody of the Hard Rock Cafe.
 * Many of the choices for the series' story were made to contrast the real Aikatsu! series:
 * The principal character, Kanade, attends Dream Academy, in comparison to Ichigo and Akari attending Starlight Academy.
 * The main trio of the series lacks a Cute-type idol, balancing out the real Aikatsu! series, in which both main protagonists were Cute idols.
 * Kanade's theme color is green, opposite to Akari's red.
 * My True Dream retains the concept of Chained Appeals from Rainbow-Colored Miracle.
 * Unlike Soleil and Akari, Hinaki, and Sumire, the main trio of the series - Kanade, Nagisa, and Mayu, attend separate schools, rather than all of them attending the same school.
 * This series introduces the concept of male idols. Similar to the Pretty Rhythm series, these male idols act as love interests to some of the main characters.
 * Unlike female idols, male idols lack auras, as well as preferred brands, and as such, lack "Premium Rare" outfits.
