With a meager bank balance, no current regular roles, and primarily working part-time at a convenience store, Yoshioka Kanae is a struggling 27-year-old voice actress on the edge. While she played a leading role in a hit anime at the beginning of her career, she is now an unsuccessful, washed-up voice actress clinging to the glory of her past.
Just as she’s about to give up, a job offer for a radio program comes from her agency.
Enthusiastically heading to the recording location, she encounters the popular high school girl voice actress, Sakuma Kiri.
Although they had worked together before, Kiri, who is now arrogant, introduces herself as if they’ve never met and further belittles Kanae:
“I don’t bother remembering the names and faces of supporting roles.”
“Just do your best not to drag me down, okay?”
Irritated by Kiri’s arrogance, Kanae decides to endure it, as she has no other options if she lets this job slip away.
As the first recording begins, the conversation doesn’t flow smoothly, Kiri’s reactions are indifferent, and the broadcast turns out to be boring.
However, for Kanae, this job is like a last lifeline in her career as a voice actress. Despite dealing with an unpleasant partner and a cheeky young girl, she has no choice but to desperately strive to survive in the voice acting industry.
She doesn’t want to go back to a life without regular roles. The story of Kanae’s voice acting career reversal begins with her radio show.
