[[File:
'''''P.A.: Private Actress''''' is a 1992-1997 manga by [[Michiyo Akaishi]], author of ''[[Towa Kamo Shirenai]]'', among other titles.
Shiho Kobayakawa is the most popular girl at her school. She's pretty, polite, softspoken, booksmart... almost the spitting image of the [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] aka ideal Japanese woman. What they don't know, however, is that Shiho has a very uncommon part-time job: a ''private actress'', meaning an actor and stand-in who is hired for personal purposes rather than fame. For example, if a young man needs someone to pretend to be his girlfriend so their family will stop nagging him about lack of commitment to relationships, he can go to Shiho's agency and hire her to pose as his girl for some time, which she will do for as long as it's needed and the requester can pay up.
Line 8:
The manga itself dwells on Shiho's life and work, showing us the reasons why people would hire an actor for such purposes. It also slowly shows us Shiho's real life, and the reasons why a girl like her would rather pose as a PA than going into stardom despite having both looks ''and'' talent to do so. . .
