Kitajima Maya is poor and untalented. She is the plainest girl in school and even her mother has lost faith in her. But Maya has one quirk that everyone has overlooked - and that is her ability to mimic. With one viewing of a TV episode, Maya can recreate the whole drama by acting out each part to the dime. She is so good at it that a retired actress is shaken to the core - and offers Maya a chance that comes once in a lifetime. The challenge: to become the greatest actress in the world, and to win the most difficult and sought-after role among actresses: the role of the Crimson Goddess.
This is a gem of a classic that should be made available to all who long for the stage. Maya is a strong heroine who conquers all, and whose perseverance is matched only with her rival's prestige. It is a race to the finish, and only the girl with nothing to lose can make it out on top.
