Сюжет
Стеклянная маска – сага, изображающая преданность Майи Китадзимы исполнительскому искусству как профессиональной актрисы и её соперничество с талантливой соперницей Аюми Химекава. Обе стремятся к уровню актёрского мастерства и карьерному успеху, необходимым для исполнения главной роли в легендарной пьесе "Кримсоновая богиня" ("Kurenai Tennyo"). Майя не отличается особой красотой или умом в школе, но её страсть к актёрскому мастерству всепоглощающа, до такой степени, что она неоднократно рискует жизнью ради роли. Постоянно слыша от матери, что она ни на что не годится, Майя хочет доказать миру и себе свою ценность. С другой стороны, от одарённой и разносторонней Аюми все ожидают успеха, поэтому она полна решимости достичь вершины самостоятельно, без помощи своих влиятельных родителей. По мере развития сюжета в нём переплетаются сложные взаимоотношения множества персонажей, включая наставницу Майи, Чигусу Цукикаге, которая обнаружила огромный актёрский талант Майи во время поисков преемницы, способной исполнить роль "Кримсоной богини", и Масуми Хайами, молодого президента Daito, который часто взаимодействует с Майей как проницательный и холодный предприниматель, оказывая ей верную поддержку и тёплое поощрение под маской анонимного поклонника ("Человек с пурпурной розой", или "мурасаки но бара но хито", как Майя называет его за привычку дарить фиолетовые розы). Хадзиме Онодера, режиссёр Daito, стремится получить права на "Курэнай Тенньё", переданные Цукикаге драматургом; поскольку Цукикаге отказывается продавать ему права, Онодера пытается обанкротить актёрскую школу Цукикаге с помощью серии подлых интриг. Поскольку Онодера работает на Хаями, Майя (не подозревая, что Хаями – "Пурпурная роза") ненавидит его. Несмотря на одиннадцатилетнюю разницу в возрасте, Масуми влюбляется в Майю и оказывает ей поддержку тонкими способами.
Glass Mask is a saga depicting the devotion of Maya Kitajima to the performing arts as a professional stage actress, and her competition with her skilled rival, Ayumi Himekawa. They are both pursuing the degree of acting proficiency and career success required to play the lead role of the legendary stage play "The Crimson Goddess" ("Kurenai Tennyo"). Maya is not particularly beautiful or smart in school, but her passion for acting is all consuming, to the point where she literally puts her own life on the line several times for the sake of a role. Always told by her mother that she was good for nothing, Maya wants to prove to the world and to herself that she has worth. On the other hand, everyone expects the gifted and multi talented Ayumi to succeed, so she is determined to reach the top on her own without the help of her prestigious parents. As the story unfolds it encompasses the tangled human relationships of many characters, including Maya's mentor, Chigusa Tsukikage, who discovered Maya's tremendous talent for acting during her search for a successor capable of performing the role of "The Crimson Goddess", and Masumi Hayami, the young president of Daito, who often interacts with Maya as a crafty and cold hearted entrepreneur, while giving her faithful support and warm encouragement in the disguise of an anonymous fan ("The Purple Rose Person", or "murasaki no bara no hito" as Maya calls him for his trademark gift of purple roses). Hajime Onodera, a director for Daito, wants the rights to "Kurenai Tennyo," which were given to Tsukikage by the playwright; since Tsukikage refuses to sell him the rights, Onodera tries to drive Tsukikage's acting school out of business through a series of nefarious schemes. Since Onodera is working for Hayami, Maya (unaware that Hayami is "The Purple Rose") hates him. Though there is an age difference of eleven years, Masumi falls in love with Maya and gives her encouragement in subtle ways.
Персонажи
Майя Китадзима (北島 マヤ). Талантливая молодая актриса (в начале истории ей 13 лет), которая изначально работала официанткой в китайском ресторане вместе с матерью. Её отец умер, когда она была маленькой девочкой, а её мать, Хару (Луиза во французской локализации аниме), психически нестабильна и считает Майю бесполезной из-за её склонности отвлекаться на всё, что связано с актёрством, во время работы. Она была обнаружена бывшей дивой Чигуса Цукикаге и начала многообещающую, но сложную актёрскую карьеру под её руководством. Мать не одобряет актёрскую карьеру дочери, считая, что она станет посмешищем. Она даже отказалась посещать школьную пьесу с участием Майи, потому что её роль была незначительной и жалкой. Поэтому Майя наполнила персонажа глубиной и печалью, хотя изначально он должен был быть смешным и ничтожным. Позже Майя получает возможность зарабатывать на жизнь как актриса. Цукикаге разрывает связь Майи с матерью, приняв решение стать актрисой. Однако Майя постоянно получает поддержку от анонимного поклонника, который присылает ей букеты фиолетовых роз – это Хаями Масуми, к которому Майя испытывает огромную ненависть, особенно после того, как он злорадствовал, разрушая актёрскую школу Цукикаге. Несколько лет спустя Хару умирает от туберкулёза и слепоты, что травмирует Майю на много недель. Талант Майи к актёрскому мастерству происходит как от её природных способностей, так и от эмоциональной личности, в отличие от Аюми, чьи навыки больше основаны на технике; на самом деле, Майя практически "становится" своими персонажами, настолько интенсивны её методы тренировок и исполнение. В начале тренировок Майя всегда демонстрировала нетрадиционный подход к заданиям, например, ложилась на пол, чтобы "сидеть" на опрокинутом стуле. Люди часто замечают, насколько неприметна Майя, пока она не выходит на сцену. Сама актриса-воспитательница Аюми отмечает, что Майя умеет захватить внимание зрителей, даже не осознавая этого. Несмотря на огромный потенциал и талант, Майя часто не признаёт свои способности. Она считает себя обычной и "бесполезной", как постоянно говорила её мать, хотя её влечёт к актёрской карьере, потому что "актёрство – это всё, что у неё есть". Она также испытывает моменты неполноценности по сравнению с Аюми, которая красива, талантлива и богата. Несмотря на это, Майя не питает злобы или недобрых чувств к Аюми, хотя Аюми тайно соперничает с ней. У Майи три прозвища. Одно из них – "Сценический шторм", отражающее её врождённую способность затмевать других актёров даже в эпизодических ролях. Цукикаге называет Майю "девушкой с тысячей масок" в знак признания её универсальности при исполнении различных ролей. А Масуми Хаями обращается к ней как к "малышке" (ちびちゃん) – уменьшительное прозвище, которое он дал ей из-за большой разницы в возрасте и росте, чтобы высмеять её наивность, а со временем – из настоящей привязанности.
Maya Kitajima (北島 マヤ). A talented young actress (a 13 year old at the beginning of the story) who originally worked as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant alongside her mother. Her father died when she was a little girl and her mother, Haru (Louise in the French anime localization), who is mentally unstable, considers Maya useless due to Maya's tendency to be sidetracked by anything to do with acting while in the middle of working. She is discovered by the former diva Chigusa Tsukikage and starts a promising, yet thorny acting career under the older woman's wing. Her mother discourages her daughter from an acting career, believing that her daughter would be a laughingstock. She even refused to attend a school play Maya was in because Maya's role was that of a pitiful and wretched minor character. So Maya gave the role more depth and sadness to a character who was originally meant to be portrayed as laughable and pathetic. Later on, Maya is given the opportunity to make a living as an actress. Tsukikage cuts off Maya's ties with her mother, making the decision of becoming an actress. However, Maya is consistently given encouragement through an anonymous fan who sends her a bouquet of purple roses which is none other than Hayami Masumi, whom Maya shows an immense hatred towards, especially since he took malicious enjoyment in bringing down Tsukikage's acting school. A few years later, Haru dies of tuberculosis and blindness, traumatizing Maya for many weeks. Maya's talent for acting comes from both her natural skill and emotional personality, unlike Ayumi whose skills are more technically driven; in fact, Maya practically 'becomes' her characters when she plays, so brutal her training methods are and so intensely she performs. During the beginning of her training sessions, Maya has always displayed unconventional performances of the assigned tasks, such as laying on the floor to "sit on" a toppled chair. People often note how unremarkable Maya is until she takes the stage. In fact, the prodigy actress Ayumi comments that Maya knows how to captivate the audience, even though she isn't aware of doing so. Despite having enormous potential and raw talent, Maya often doesn't recognize her abilities. She thinks of herself as unremarkable and "useless", as her mother constantly referred to her as, though she is compelled to pursue a career in acting because "acting is all she has". She also harbors moments of inferiority in comparison to Ayumi, who is beautiful, talented, and rich. Despite all this, Maya doesn't harbor any malice or ill will toward Ayumi, though Ayumi is secretly competitive toward Maya. Maya has three nicknames. One is "The Stage Storm," referring to her innate ability to drown out other actors' importance in a play even while in a bit part. Tsukikage refers to Maya as "the girl with a thousand masks" in tribute to her versatility whenever taking on character roles. And she is addressed as "little child" (ちびちゃん) by Masumi Hayami, a diminutive nickname he's given to her due to their broad disparity in age and height, to satirize her naivete, and eventually out of true affection. Ayumi Himekawa (姫川 亜弓) Maya's biggest rival, the honor bound and noble Ayumi was born as the daughter of a very famous actress, Utako Himekawa (once the student of Tsukikage) and a successful director and producer, Mitsugu Himekawa, and has been touted as a prodigy from an early age. Ever since learning she got her first acting role just because of her family links, Ayumi has striven to shine on her own and never falls into arrogance. Ayumi becomes aware of Maya's prodigious gift for acting when they first meet in a practice session; from then on she views the younger girl as a life rival. She is ambitious enough to try to surpass her own mother, who is a widely recognized actress. People have jokingly told Utako that her daughter will steal the role of the Crimson Goddess from her. Even though Ayumi is young, she believes that she will re vitalize the renowned role. Thus, she takes it upon herself to get as much experience as she can by trying out for any roles, including minor ones. At first, when Ayumi took on the role of Tom in The Prince and the Pauper, the children in attendance didn't like the performance because they were used to seeing Ayumi as a beautiful young woman rather than a dirty and homely boy. Yet Ayumi soon draws the children's favor by begging for "money" in a hat, to which the children offer her their candy. The people behind the stage were surprised that Ayumi would do such a thing, particularly since Ayumi generally would have thought such things beneath her. Her passion to become the Crimson Goddess is undeniable, however, as she continually strives for perfection to attain the role. Even though critics generally favour her over Maya, Ayumi is upset at being unable to reach the sort of emotional peaks Maya does when she performs. Chigusa Tsukikage (月影 千草) Maya's mentor and a former street urchin. She once was a very talented and beloved actress, most notable for her role at the legendary play "Crimson Goddess" (紅天女) whose performance was so acclaimed that its author left the rights over it solely to her in his will, but she got horribly scarred in an onstage accident (a lamp lighter hit her and burned half her face off) and had to leave the acting scene, opening an acting school instead. She has very weak health and is hospitalized several times during the story. Yet she is a woman of unstoppable will, refusing to give the rights of "The Crimson Goddess" to Masumi Hayami and his father, as according to her, currently there is not an actress suitable for the main role. After finding potential in Maya, she takes her under her wing despite her mother's objections and strives to shape her into the best actress ever, so she can contest with Ayumi for the leading role in "The Crimson Goddess". Tsukikage understands that an actress's face is her most important feature, and she covers Maya when Maya's incensed mother tries to throw a kettle in her daughter's face. Masumi Hayami (速水 真澄) An abused stepson of the president of the Daito Entertainments (大都芸能). His real father died by accidentally falling off a building when he was 2 years old. He is brutally attempting to obtain the performance rights for "The Crimson Goddess" from Chigusa, efforts which ultimately led to her acting school burned. When he sees Maya act as Beth in "Little Women" despite a high fever, he is impressed with her strong will and devotion to her acting dreams. He secretly sends her purple roses and financial support as encouragement (thus Maya refers to her anonymous fan as "The Purple Roses Man"; her friends call him Daddy Long Legs), but acts mocking, cynical and even cruel in front of her to conceal his anonymous identity. Originally a normal, happy child, his cold exterior grew from the death of his mother, Aya, when he was a child, and his bad relationship with his stepfather Eisuke, who murdered the Crimson Goddess' author. As the manga proceeds, he becomes more and more infatuated with Maya and finally falls deeply in love with her. He doesn't reveal either his alternate identity or his true feelings for many reasons, one of which is the belief that Maya hates him since he indirectly caused her mother's death.
Аюми Химекава (姫川 亜弓). Главная соперница Майи, благородная и честная Аюми родилась дочерью знаменитой актрисы Утако Химекава (бывшей ученицы Цукикаге) и успешного режиссёра и продюсера Мицугу Химекавы, и с раннего возраста считалась вундеркиндом. С тех пор, как она узнала, что получила свою первую роль благодаря связям, Аюми стремится проявить себя самостоятельно и никогда не зазнаётся. Аюми осознаёт необычайный актёрский дар Майи, когда они впервые встречаются на репетиции; с тех пор она видит в младшей девочке соперницу на всю жизнь. Она достаточно амбициозна, чтобы превзойти свою собственную мать, широко известную актрису. Люди в шутку говорили Утако, что её дочь отнимет у неё роль Багровой Богини. Несмотря на юный возраст, Аюми верит, что сможет вдохнуть новую жизнь в эту знаменитую роль. Поэтому она старается получить как можно больше опыта, пробуясь на любые роли, даже на незначительные. Сначала, когда Аюми сыграла роль Тома в "Принце и нищем", детям не понравилось её исполнение, потому что они привыкли видеть Аюми красивой молодой женщиной, а не грязным и неприглядным мальчиком. Однако вскоре Аюми завоевывает расположение детей, прося "деньги" в шляпу, а они предлагают ей свои конфеты. За кулисами были удивлены тем, что Аюми пошла на это, особенно учитывая, что обычно она считала подобные вещи ниже своего достоинства. Её страсть к роли Багровой Богини неоспорима, поскольку она постоянно стремится к совершенству, чтобы её получить. Несмотря на то, что критики обычно отдают предпочтение ей, а не Майе, Аюми расстроена тем, что не может достичь тех эмоциональных высот, которые удаются Майе во время выступления.

Чигуса Цукикаге (月影 千草). Наставница Майи и бывшая уличная сирота. Она когда-то была очень талантливой и любимой актрисой, наиболее известной своей ролью в легендарной пьесе "Багровая Богиня" (紅天女), исполнение которой было настолько признано, что автор завещал ей все права на неё. Однако она получила ужасные шрамы в результате несчастного случая на сцене (осветитель ударил её и обжёг половину лица) и вынуждена была покинуть актёрскую сцену, открыв актёрскую школу. У неё слабое здоровье, и она несколько раз госпитализируется во время истории. Тем не менее, она женщина несгибаемой воли, отказывающаяся передавать права на "Багровую Богиню" Масуми Хаями и его отцу, поскольку, по её мнению, в настоящее время нет актрисы, подходящей для главной роли. Обнаружив потенциал в Майе, она берёт её под своё крыло, несмотря на возражения её матери, и стремится сделать из неё лучшую актрису, чтобы она могла побороться с Аюми за главную роль в "Багровой Богине". Цукикаге понимает, что лицо актрисы – её самое важное достоинство, и она защищает Майю, когда её разъярённая мать пытается бросить в неё чайник.

Масуми Хаями (速水 真澄). Приёмный сын президента Daito Entertainments (大都芸能). Его настоящий отец погиб, случайно упав с крыши, когда ему было 2 года. Он отчаянно пытается получить права на исполнение "Багровой Богини" у Чигусы, что в конечном итоге привело к поджогу её актёрской школы. Увидев, как Майя играет Бет в "Маленьких женщинах", несмотря на высокую температуру, он впечатлён её сильной волей и преданностью своей актёрской мечте. Он тайно присылает ей фиолетовые розы и финансовую поддержку в качестве поощрения (поэтому Майя называет своего анонимного поклонника "Человек фиолетовых роз"; её друзья называют его "Длинноногий"), но ведёт себя насмешливо, цинично и даже жестоко, чтобы скрыть свою личность. Изначально он был нормальным, счастливым ребёнком, но его холодный характер сформировался после смерти матери, Аи, и плохих отношений с отчимом Эйсукэ, который убил автора "Багровой Богини". По мере развития манги он всё больше и больше увлекается Майей и, наконец, глубоко влюбляется в неё. Он не раскрывает ни свою альтернативную личность, ни свои истинные чувства по многим причинам, одна из которых – вера в то, что Майя ненавидит его, поскольку он косвенно стал причиной смерти её матери.
Maya Kitajima (北島 マヤ). A talented young actress (a 13 year old at the beginning of the story) who originally worked as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant alongside her mother. Her father died when she was a little girl and her mother, Haru (Louise in the French anime localization), who is mentally unstable, considers Maya useless due to Maya's tendency to be sidetracked by anything to do with acting while in the middle of working. She is discovered by the former diva Chigusa Tsukikage and starts a promising, yet thorny acting career under the older woman's wing. Her mother discourages her daughter from an acting career, believing that her daughter would be a laughingstock. She even refused to attend a school play Maya was in because Maya's role was that of a pitiful and wretched minor character. So Maya gave the role more depth and sadness to a character who was originally meant to be portrayed as laughable and pathetic. Later on, Maya is given the opportunity to make a living as an actress. Tsukikage cuts off Maya's ties with her mother, making the decision of becoming an actress. However, Maya is consistently given encouragement through an anonymous fan who sends her a bouquet of purple roses which is none other than Hayami Masumi, whom Maya shows an immense hatred towards, especially since he took malicious enjoyment in bringing down Tsukikage's acting school. A few years later, Haru dies of tuberculosis and blindness, traumatizing Maya for many weeks. Maya's talent for acting comes from both her natural skill and emotional personality, unlike Ayumi whose skills are more technically driven; in fact, Maya practically 'becomes' her characters when she plays, so brutal her training methods are and so intensely she performs. During the beginning of her training sessions, Maya has always displayed unconventional performances of the assigned tasks, such as laying on the floor to "sit on" a toppled chair. People often note how unremarkable Maya is until she takes the stage. In fact, the prodigy actress Ayumi comments that Maya knows how to captivate the audience, even though she isn't aware of doing so. Despite having enormous potential and raw talent, Maya often doesn't recognize her abilities. She thinks of herself as unremarkable and "useless", as her mother constantly referred to her as, though she is compelled to pursue a career in acting because "acting is all she has". She also harbors moments of inferiority in comparison to Ayumi, who is beautiful, talented, and rich. Despite all this, Maya doesn't harbor any malice or ill will toward Ayumi, though Ayumi is secretly competitive toward Maya. Maya has three nicknames. One is "The Stage Storm," referring to her innate ability to drown out other actors' importance in a play even while in a bit part. Tsukikage refers to Maya as "the girl with a thousand masks" in tribute to her versatility whenever taking on character roles. And she is addressed as "little child" (ちびちゃん) by Masumi Hayami, a diminutive nickname he's given to her due to their broad disparity in age and height, to satirize her naivete, and eventually out of true affection. Ayumi Himekawa (姫川 亜弓) Maya's biggest rival, the honor bound and noble Ayumi was born as the daughter of a very famous actress, Utako Himekawa (once the student of Tsukikage) and a successful director and producer, Mitsugu Himekawa, and has been touted as a prodigy from an early age. Ever since learning she got her first acting role just because of her family links, Ayumi has striven to shine on her own and never falls into arrogance. Ayumi becomes aware of Maya's prodigious gift for acting when they first meet in a practice session; from then on she views the younger girl as a life rival. She is ambitious enough to try to surpass her own mother, who is a widely recognized actress. People have jokingly told Utako that her daughter will steal the role of the Crimson Goddess from her. Even though Ayumi is young, she believes that she will re vitalize the renowned role. Thus, she takes it upon herself to get as much experience as she can by trying out for any roles, including minor ones. At first, when Ayumi took on the role of Tom in The Prince and the Pauper, the children in attendance didn't like the performance because they were used to seeing Ayumi as a beautiful young woman rather than a dirty and homely boy. Yet Ayumi soon draws the children's favor by begging for "money" in a hat, to which the children offer her their candy. The people behind the stage were surprised that Ayumi would do such a thing, particularly since Ayumi generally would have thought such things beneath her. Her passion to become the Crimson Goddess is undeniable, however, as she continually strives for perfection to attain the role. Even though critics generally favour her over Maya, Ayumi is upset at being unable to reach the sort of emotional peaks Maya does when she performs. Chigusa Tsukikage (月影 千草) Maya's mentor and a former street urchin. She once was a very talented and beloved actress, most notable for her role at the legendary play "Crimson Goddess" (紅天女) whose performance was so acclaimed that its author left the rights over it solely to her in his will, but she got horribly scarred in an onstage accident (a lamp lighter hit her and burned half her face off) and had to leave the acting scene, opening an acting school instead. She has very weak health and is hospitalized several times during the story. Yet she is a woman of unstoppable will, refusing to give the rights of "The Crimson Goddess" to Masumi Hayami and his father, as according to her, currently there is not an actress suitable for the main role. After finding potential in Maya, she takes her under her wing despite her mother's objections and strives to shape her into the best actress ever, so she can contest with Ayumi for the leading role in "The Crimson Goddess". Tsukikage understands that an actress's face is her most important feature, and she covers Maya when Maya's incensed mother tries to throw a kettle in her daughter's face. Masumi Hayami (速水 真澄) An abused stepson of the president of the Daito Entertainments (大都芸能). His real father died by accidentally falling off a building when he was 2 years old. He is brutally attempting to obtain the performance rights for "The Crimson Goddess" from Chigusa, efforts which ultimately led to her acting school burned. When he sees Maya act as Beth in "Little Women" despite a high fever, he is impressed with her strong will and devotion to her acting dreams. He secretly sends her purple roses and financial support as encouragement (thus Maya refers to her anonymous fan as "The Purple Roses Man"; her friends call him Daddy Long Legs), but acts mocking, cynical and even cruel in front of her to conceal his anonymous identity. Originally a normal, happy child, his cold exterior grew from the death of his mother, Aya, when he was a child, and his bad relationship with his stepfather Eisuke, who murdered the Crimson Goddess' author. As the manga proceeds, he becomes more and more infatuated with Maya and finally falls deeply in love with her. He doesn't reveal either his alternate identity or his true feelings for many reasons, one of which is the belief that Maya hates him since he indirectly caused her mother's death.
