Synopsis

Overcoming her mother’s opposition, Akari becomes stylist to a top actress, Reiko. Akari’s younger sister Kaori is an actress in a small theater company and looks up to Reiko. However, when the mother collapses she finds a medical record showing that Reiko and her older sister are mother and daughter. Taking advantage of Reiko’s fame, Kaori spreads the lie that she is Reiko’s daughter and becomes Reiko’s assistant. This lie develops into a battle of egos, involving even the mother who raised her, Ayame.
