Glass no Kamen: Sen no Kamen wo Motsu Shoujo

Maya Kitajima has little money, little confidence, and no obvious talent that the adults around her value. Yet she can watch a performance once and reproduce its lines and emotions with startling accuracy. Former actress Chigusa Tsukikage recognizes that rare gift and takes Maya under her wing, convinced that the girl may be capable of inheriting the legendary role of the Crimson Goddess.

Training exposes Maya to a world where talent alone is never enough. She must endure punishing lessons, fierce competition, and the presence of gifted rival Ayumi Himekawa, learning to transform raw obsession with acting into the discipline needed to command a stage.
