This is the show that puts you in the booth before anyone tells you what a seiyuu actually does all day. It got there first, in 2006, back when nobody was making anime about the people who make anime, and it treats the audition rooms and mic discipline and the crushing gap between amateur and professional as the real drama. The five leads each want it for different reasons, and that's the trick: Momoko is chasing a crush on her favorite voice actor, Yurika just loves anime that much, Tsubasa can only play boys, Rinka has talent and no reason, and Amane is a stalled actress looking for a second door. Watching them go from beginners to pros over 25 episodes is a coming of age story that earns its ending. Yes, the art is plain and the romance filler eats real minutes. Fans of REC found this one and never shut up about it, and they're right to keep going.

Five aspiring voice actresses enter a training program with very different reasons for being there. Momoko dreams of meeting her favorite seiyuu, Ichinose Minato. Rinka is a quiet, shy amateur with no particular goal in mind. Yurika adores anime and hopes to land on magazine covers someday. Tsubasa is a tomboy in love who prefers playing boys over girls. Amane, short on acting work, is looking for a new creative outlet. The girls push through the hurdles of becoming voice actresses, though lead roles remain out of reach. Based on a mobile phone game, the comedy romance also features a love story involving a young man at an anime company and offers glimpses of the anime industry.
