Masked Hearts

Orimura Hanako is 26 years old and all fired up.

She’s on the verge of directing her first-ever feature film, and achieving her childhood dream.

The problem is, she’s being hindered by an older male assistant director, who ridicules her youthful outlook and tries to force her to conform to the old ways and norms of the movie industry.

Then one day, she has a fateful encounter with a man named Tachi Masao, and her life at last begins to take on a whole new luster, until...

The underhanded actions of an extremely glib and unscrupulous producer cause Hanako to lose everything. She receives no compensation for her work, and has her personal project stolen from her. After being unceremoniously dumped into the depths of despair, she quietly stokes her rage, and makes a pledge.

“No way am I going to give up. I’ll keep fighting, and never back down!”

To keep her artistic vision alive, she enlists the aid of her hopeless father and two older brothers, who she’s been out of touch with for over 10 years. Entangling Masao and her family in her obsessive quest, Hanako audaciously attempts to make her dream come true, her way!
