About this title

Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Kyouko Mogami followed her childhood friend and love interest Shoutarou "Shou" Fuwa to Tokyo to support him while he works toward his dream of becoming a top idol in the entertainment industry. But after finding out that Shou considers her as little more than a mere housekeeper, she swears to enact revenge by entering the entertainment industry herself and beating him at his own game! However, Kyouko's revenge plan suffers a setback almost immediately when she is rejected by the talent agency of her choice. Fortunately, the president of the agency gives her a second chance, and places her in the newly made "Love Me" section. Kyouko then begins her long journey to stardom, cultivating her skills as an actress and forming relationships with new friends along the way. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Birthday: December 25 Age: 16-17 (in the story so far) Height: 163 cm Blood type: B Kyouko's life has always known only one aim—to please others. Be it her mother who didn't care much for her, or Sho's family, who took her in after she was abandoned. Suddenly, childhood friend Sho asks country bumpkin Kyouko if she wants to go to the city with him. He aims to be a big star and wishes for her support. When he commits an unthinkable crime to Kyouko's frail self-esteem, he awakens another side in her. She changes from being an innocent girl to a woman full of the desire of revenge toward the man that used her like a stepping stone; but she didn't know that, in her way to making him suffer and cry at her feet, she would begin a whole new life into the show business and find herself having a great talent and love towards acting. Now Kyouko is some sort of cute, joyful, and full-of-purpose woman...while also being a "woman who holds grudges" and acts in some crazy and unexpected ways, although she is still not able to recognize her own value and talent, and even less the way other people see her.

Age: 20-21 Birthday: February 10 (Aquarius) Height: 190 cm Blood type: A Ren is, in outward appearances, an extremely nice and polite star; however, he shows his true self whenever he is around Kyouko. At the age of twenty, Ren has lived a large portion of his life in America. After Ren's encounter with Reino (from Vie Ghoul), it is revealed that "Tsuruga Ren" is only a stage name with his real name being Kuon Hizuri.
Shoutarou Fuwa180 fan favorites
External profile
Age: 17 Birthday: May 29 Horoscope: Gemini Height: 178 cm His real name is Shoutarou. He keeps it hidden because he finds it as a very old and traditional name.His natural hair color is brown but he later bleached it blonde. He is a typical stuck-up star, and is also very ruthless. Shou had no qualms about tricking Kyouko into going with him to Tokyo so she could be a free servant for him. He also had even less qualms about being extremely cruel to her when she discovered this. Shou eventually figured out that Kyouko was in L.M.E., and was surprised to see her transformation. It is also revealed that he has more feelings for her than he originally thought, though most of these lean toward a general possessiveness for Kyouko, who had been his constant companion and servant since childhood.
