Summary
- 16-year-old Kyoko Mogami moves to Tokyo, aiming to support her long-time crush and friend Sho Fuwa
- To her dismay, she ends up as Sho's doormat maid while he rises to fame as a handsome superstar!
- Infuriated, Kyoko thus decides to pursue stardom herself to outrank Sho in the life of showbiz
Description
Mogami Kyoko threw away her youth and high school career to run away to Tokyo with her childhood friend, Fuwa Sho, while he breaks into the idol business in the influential Akatoki Agency. But when she learns that he keeps her around only as a live-in maid, only one thing is on her mind: revenge!
This is what brings her to LME, a talent agency with their own idol star, Ren Tsuruga, because nothing would be better than beating Sho at his own game. Getting through the exhaustive audition process is only the beginning of her foray into showbiz. To get further than that will require cunning, creativity, determination—and love.
