Synopsis

Mayu Iwatani, a high school freshman from Yamaguchi Prefecture, became a hikikomori after a life-changing incident. For two years, she lived in social withdrawal, creating an imaginary world she called “Mayuland.” Her life changed when she happened to see a pro wrestling broadcast her brother was watching and became captivated by the sport. With her brother’s encouragement, she attended a local show and began to dream of becoming a wrestler herself.

Her opportunity came when she found an online column recruiting founding members for a new pro wrestling promotion, “Stardom.” Mayu emailed her photo to the promotion, and its founder, Gussy, was so interested that he urged her to come to Tokyo. Despite strong opposition from her mother, Mayu left her home and went to Tokyo, where she began her journey as a Stardom trainee.
