A shy and nervous rookie voice actor, who has a tendency to overthink what kind of performance she should give. In-between jobs, she works part-time at a convenience store. She has a stuffed doll called Korori that she occasionally voices in order to give herself encouragement (in the anime, Korori is also used to explain the various aspects of the voice acting industry).

Being a professional voice actor is more than having a great voice. Rookie seiyuu Futaba Ichinose must learn about the hard work, determination, and heart that goes into being the voice behind beloved characters. The work is far from easy and nothing hurts more than the dreaded rejection call, but Futaba works through it to achieve her dream of becoming a big-time seiyuu - except she only has two years to prove to her agency that she's good enough to be one. Luckily, she's not alone! Ichigo Moesaki, a self-claimed princess from Planet Strawberry, and Rin Kohana, a seasoned professional since the age of five, will be at her side when they form the seiyuu unit, Earphones. But even being in a unit won't be enough to guarantee Futaba's success if she can't land more roles. Follow these three girls and learn just what it takes to be a professional voice actor.<br>
