Summary: Kyoko followed her true love and childhood friend Sho to Tokyo so she could help him reach his dream of becoming an idol. She cleans, cooks, works three jobs and does nothing for herself because she loves him so much, but gets nothing in return. Still, she remains by his side. But then one day she goes unannounced to his agency with a delivery, and overhears him talking about her; he reveals to his manager that he only took her with him as a maid, and that he doesn't care for her at all. Upon hearing this, Kyoko doesn't just sit around and cry. She cuts and dyes her hair, changes her clothes and attitude and thus begins her journey to join showbiz and have her revenge against Sho.

i'm not sure what I should think about this anime... It has really good story, characters are nice and I like them but the story lacks something... Maybe it's about Kyoko's past, I mean about her mother and the life she had living in Shoutaro's house 'cause it seemed it was hard. Nd in my opinion Shou could be more developed as a main reason of that what Kyoko did changing her life so suddenly. And of course Ren... So indifferent! If producers have known sooner that it will have only 25 episodes, they should have done Ren faster realise his feelings! I'm totally disappointed by end, too :( . I've got nothin against open end, but this one was just way too opened! ;/
I liked Kyoko's personality, and her little devils that were always arund her ;) sometimes i could laugh out loud, and most of time i was smiling. it's good ;) entertaiment excellent ;)
buuut.... i didn't like animation! I don't know why but it felt that faces are deformed a bit, especially those of guys... not a big deal but somehow it bothered me :) and legs! far too long, speaking of Ren and Shou... and openings and endings was nothing special, though the background music was really good.
to be honest i was looking for some kind of rivalry between Ren and Shou... Aghrrr, stupid Ren! I like him and not ;/ way too slow in that things!
and the final image of Kyoko - I prefered her with dyed hair! ok,ok, it was for job, but still... eh :(

I like ot, to that extend that watching all episodes took me less than 2 days ;) but end was dissapointing... all that's left is to belive that it'd end the way I'd like to if there were more episodes :)
