Gi(a)rlish Number

Meet Chitose Karasuma, a budding voice actress convinced that her undeniable cuteness and "natural" talent are her ticket to stardom. The only problem? Her initial roles are… less than stellar, and the cutthroat anime industry is far more complex than she ever imagined. As she navigates the bewildering world of auditions, recording booths, and promotional events, Chitose quickly learns that charisma alone won't secure her place at the top. *Gi(a)rlish Number* offers a hilariously cynical, yet ultimately charming, look at the often-unseen realities of the voice acting profession. Join Chitose and her eclectic group of fellow VAs as they stumble through the triumphs and tribulations of their daily lives, proving that even in an industry built on dreams, a little hard work—and a lot of self-awareness—goes a long way.
