Nana Futami draws love stories for a living. Shoujo manga, all sparkles and confessions and hands almost touching. Then the deadline hits, and her brain short-circuits. Suddenly her editor is a villainess, her assistant is a rival, and the whole studio is a scene from chapter twelve. That is the deal with Nana. Long nights and creative pressure turn her head into a stage, and everyone around her gets a costume they never asked for. Which is a problem, because the two women keeping her career alive are real: Kaede, the older editor who checks every page and covers for her when things go sideways, and Mizuki, the assistant who handles the messy technical work and keeps the schedule from collapsing. They tease her, they push her, they drag her back to reality. Meanwhile the pages still have to be finished. So who exactly is in charge here: the calm professional holding the pen, or the girl in the corner quietly casting her coworkers in a drama nobody else can see?
