Hagiwara Mio is a 14-year-old teen actor. She's currently in love with her neighbor, teen actor Morimoto Teruomi. She is given a role in a short drama, but is dissatisfied that her roles always involve being the bossy antagonist. She was cast as the rival of her friend, Sawagi Aya, in the drama.
Excited at the fact that Teru is also in the drama, Mio accepts the job. On the first day of the shoot, Mio meets Kumagai Ichiya who calls Mio a bad actress. With their first meeting getting off to such a bad start, a chain of problems for Mio began to pile up.
