## Story

The World of Stars, Uranometria was once a peaceful place where all the Star Deities lived together in harmony under the guidance of the Council of the Zodiacs. It all changed when Virgo, the head of House of the Maiden as well as a member of the Council, suddenly vanished without trace. Everyone looked and looked for her, but they couldn't find her anywhere. Bad rumors regarding her and the Council started spreading as time passed by and slowly but surely, it caused the downfall of Uranometria. The trust among the deities were severed as people began suspecting each other. The houses broke down into factions and started opposing each others. Uranometria fell into chaos, and in consequence, the stars in the human world started losing their shine.

18 years after Virgo's disappearance, when all hope to find her had gone, the Council suddenly sensed a strong light power similar to hers coming from Geometria, the human world. Leo, head of the House of Lion, then sent out his son Regulus to the human world to look into it. Much to everyone's surprise, what they found in the human world wasn't Virgo herself but a young girl named Hoshigawa Otome who bore striking resemblance to her.
