## Synopsis

Kyoko has given up everything for her childhood crush Sho, following him to Tokyo and working herself to the bone to fund his idol dreams while asking for nothing in return. Then she overhears the truth: he never cared for her and only kept her around as free help. Instead of crumbling, Kyoko reinvents herself on the spot and storms into show business, determined to eclipse the boy who wronged her. What starts as pure spite slowly becomes something more, as she finds real talent, rivals, and reasons of her own to keep going.
