Glass no Kamen

Maya Kitajima is a poor 13-year-old whose extraordinary acting talent is discovered by former star Chigusa Tsukikage. Under severe training, Maya learns to inhabit any role completely and begins pursuing the legendary part of the Crimson Goddess.

Her greatest rival is Ayumi Himekawa, a polished actress born into privilege but equally devoted to her craft. As their careers rise, producer Masumi Hayami secretly supports Maya while hiding his identity, creating a bond repeatedly obstructed by pride, misunderstanding, and the harsh world of theater.
