Just a heads up, I haven’t seen this anime in over a year so I’m going by memory and I might leave some things out! (9/17)
We first meet our MC Kyoko Mogami who at first is a sweet naive girl with a terrible boyfriend who treats her like shit. Though, soon she finds out he’s garbage and her nicey-nice attitude switches to cold and heartless as she pursue a career as an actress. (10/17)
I thought that was total bad-ass of her to do and not only get revenge, but she actually falls in love w/ acting. And is REALLY good at it too! You’ll definitely be rooting for this girl like I did! (11/17)
Let’s start w/ the 1st side character: Ren Tsuruga. Ren is supposed to be this super hot dreamy actor and he is, but with flaws like every other character but he’s definitely our sweet cinnamon roll. So we love him and we ship him w/ Kyoko Mogami. (12/17)
Of course I have to talk about her ex boyfriend Sho Fuwa. He’s obviously not my favorite character and they try to get us to feel sorry for him later in the anime, but he’s so nasty I don’t wanna root for him or for him to get back w/ our MC. (13/17)
There’s a rival in the story too but I don’t think she’s that important to mention. But she does add to the drama, which is pretty good.
I’m heading into v minor spoilers, so skip (pun not intended lol) the next thread if you don’t want to be spoiled. (14/17)

(1-
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚨" title="Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht" aria-label="Emoji: Polizeiautos mit drehendem Licht">) If I remember correctly, Ren knows Kyoko from when they were little kids, which I thought was a cool add-in. And her ex starts to fall for her again and I cringed the entire way bc like no get away from her you creep! (15/17)
Honestly, I don’t care too much for either love interests. She could be w/ the rival girl for all I care that I mentioned earlier or end up alone but that’s just me. The anime stopped airing a while back, so if want to continue you’ll have to read the manga. (16/17)
This anime is a hidden gem, for sure! And even w/ it’s pretty decent graphics, I think you’ll fall in love w/ this anime, just as much as I did! So add it to your watch list and tell me what you think! (17/17)
