Plot Summary:
Kyoko, a happy and cheerful 16-year-old girl, spends much of her time at the inn run by her childhood friend Shotaro, learning about housekeeping and hospitality. Shotaro, finding his family's business boring and lusting for excitement, decides to pursue a career in music. Shotaro coaxes Kyoko to leave her life behind and join him in his adventure. Arriving in Tokyo, Kyoko devotes her life to Shotaro, spending no money on herself and offering him whatever she can. Just as Shotaro starts climbing the ladder, however, Kyoko overhears him courting a starlet.
Yes, he has taken advantage of her blind love and simply used her as a free housekeeper from the very beginning. Cruelly betrayed, something inside Kyoko snaps and she vows revenge in a unique way: she will become an idol singer as well. By becoming a big star herself, she hopes to kick him out of the entertainment world, a complex world filled of variety, slander and jealousy. Despite innumerable competitors ready to thwart her at every opportunity, Kyoko gradually finds joy in overcoming hardships, kicking aside all who stand in her way with one word in her mind: REVENGE!

what leanne have to say:
when i started watching this anime is because it was after d.gray man [when it stopped showing on okto] [and i wanted
to know what anime is premiering next] but i fell in love with it after a few episodes although
i think that the “emotions monsters” around her is a little extra but comical though
it is a very revenge kind of drama , never seen this kind before. i must say the kyoko’s feelings must have been so enraged that
she can endure the difficult process of becoming just a LOVE ME section member , i wouldn’t have really wasted my time
just revenging a guy like him who only likes to use people for his own benefits , of course i believe [ watching the spoilers] that there is more to the story especially the corn part
[hush….] okay if u haven watch it , watch it , if u are , continue watching.
