Two Girls. One Dream. And the entire world for a stage.
At 13 years old, Maya Kitajima seems destined to spend the rest of her life toiling in a crowded restaurant alongside her bitter and unstable mother. But when her incredible acting talent is discovered by the legendary diva Chigusa Tsukikage, Maya finds a new future filled with both golden opportunities and terrifying risks.
For Ayumi Himekawa, success has always been assured, yet she longs to be recognized for her own talents and skills, not her famous parents' connections.
For both, the ultimate prize is the role of The Crimson Goddess in the play of the same name, a part created by Chigusa. To achieve this goal, both Maya and Ayumi must seek out and conquer every acting challenge, pushing the limits of their talent and endurance to the utmost, until they are worthy of the part…
But for one to win, the other must fail!

Where it came from
The 2005 Glass Mask television series is a modern anime adaptation of Suzue Miuchi’s long-running, iconic manga series, which originally debuted in 1976. Produced by TMS Entertainment and aired by TV Tokyo, this iteration was created to revitalize the story for a new generation, focusing on the intense, transformative journey of Maya Kitajima as she aspires to master the craft of acting and perform the legendary role of the Crimson Goddess.
The design of the 2005 adaptation sought to strike a balance between the classic, expressive character aesthetics of the original manga and contemporary animation standards of the mid-2000s. While it garnered a dedicated following for its faithful portrayal of the dramatic rivalries and theatrical intensity inherent in Miuchi’s narrative, it was received by long-time fans with mixed feelings regarding its shift in visual style compared to the 1984 version, though it remains a significant touchstone in the legacy of shoujo drama anime.
