Summary
- 13-year-old schoolgirl Maya Kitajima works as a waitress while aspiring to be a successful actress
- Ayumi Himekawa is an actress prodigy seeking to be recognized for her skills, not by family fame
- Two girls rival each other to claim the stage role of "Crimson Goddess" for a life-changing dream
Description
Kitajima Maya, a 13-year-old girl with a talent for acting, was discovered by the reclusive actress Tsukikage. The story follows Maya's growing up, intense training, overcoming challenges, and evolving into the foremost actress of her generation (she is about 20 so far). Maya's greatest rival is Himekawa Ayumi, the beautiful daughter of a famous movie couple. They ultimately vied for the most sought-after role—the "Crimson Goddess." An equally important subplot is Maya's relationship with the handsome and ruthless entertainment mogul Hayami Masumi, who secretly became her number one fan, but misunderstandings and bad-timings have obstructed their romance.
