Revue Starlight - Season 1 (2018)

Hikari suddenly goes off somewhere, prompting Karen to search all over the city for her.

Mahiru is becoming increasingly frustrated with Karen favoring Hikari over her.

Already annoyed over not being selected for lead role auditions for the school's Starlight production, Kaoruko becomes further upset when she discovers Futaba has been secretly taking tap dancing lessons from Claudine, leading the two to have a fight.

In her second year, Nana nostalgically remembers the 99th Seisho Festival's production of Starlight the previous year, lamenting that the next one won't be the same. She is eventually approached by the mysterious giraffe, who persuades her to take part in the Revue auditions by offering her the chance to stand on any stage she wishes.

Studying at a theater school in London, Hikari has been keeping in contact with Karen via letter. She is soon summoned by the giraffe and takes part in London's Revue auditions, but is unable to become the Top Star. As Hikari finds herself struggling following her loss, she eventually deduces that those who lose the auditions lose their brilliance on stage.

While Karen and Hikari read the original story of Starlight together, Junna learns from Nana about how she had been repeating time to relive the 99th festival's Starlight, refusing to accept anything different.

As everyone prepares for the final day of the auditions, Karen and Hikari spend the day together in Tokyo while Maya and Claudine recall how their rivalry and friendship began.

Hikari mysteriously transfers out of Seisho Academy.

Karen arrives in a desert area, where she finds Hikari stuck in an endless loop of trying to climb up a tower to reach a star only to get knocked down again. Determined to bring Hikari out of this stage that she chose for herself, Karen faces off against her in one final revue.
