Heroine Voice

Otome Yamada has dreamed of standing center stage as a theatrical heroine ever since she was in the fifth grade. Fueled by this lifelong ambition, she eagerly joins her high school’s drama club, only to find herself permanently relegated to working behind the scenes as a stagehand. The obstacle is not a lack of passion but rather her distinctly unusual voice, which sounds more like it belongs in an animated series than on a traditional theater stage. Refusing to let this setback extinguish her dream, Otome sets out to audition for a stage play. However, a mix-up leads her through the doors of an anime recording studio instead. Her unexpected arrival disrupts an active session, and she is quickly ushered out after inadvertently interfering with the production. Yet, what feels like a humiliating mistake turns into a life-changing opportunity when a talent agent who witnessed the incident approaches her. Deeply impressed by the unique quality of her voice, he offers her a professional position as a voice actress. Inspired by the chance to finally perform, Otome accepts the offer and steps into the world of voice acting. Her journey soon brings her alongside Suzu Ayase, a highly popular voice actress, setting the stage for a new chapter where Otome’s once-disadvantageous voice becomes her greatest asset.
