--Volume 1, Back Cover, Teaser 2--

Full Moon focuses on a 12-year-old girl named Mitsuki Koyama. While Mitsuki is a talented singer and dreams of becoming a pop idol, she is afflicted by throat cancer, which seems curable only through surgery that will destroy her voice. One day she is visited by two shinigami whom only she can see, Takuto and Meroko, who go by the team name "Negi Ramen" or "Onion Noodles." These shinigami tell her she has but one year left to live.

Mitsuki realizes she cannot wait any longer and attempts to achieve her dream of becoming a singer. However, she does not look old enough to be a singer, so she makes a deal with one of the shinigami, Takuto, to transform her into a 16-year-old who goes by the stage name of Full Moon. Not only does she become older, but her throat is healthy in this form, and she is able to sing without any difficulty.

To start a career as a singer, 16-year-old Mitsuki auditions in a singing contest. Though there is much competition, she is able to win over the judges with her enthusiasm for singing and her excellent voice. Two years before the shinigami's arrival, she promised Eichi Sakurai, a boy she met in an orphanage, that they would both achieve their dreams together. Eichi wanted to become an astronomer and Mitsuki wanted to become a singer. Shortly after, Eichi was adopted and emigrated to America before Mitsuki could express her feelings for him. Because Mitsuki is fated to die, she is intent on achieving her dream and meeting Eichi before her death. Mitsuki hopes that one day Eichi will hear her songs and return to her so they can be together again.

In the manga, like the anime, Mitsuki debuts as a singer under the alias Full Moon. However, unlike the anime, she does not gain instant overwhelming success and popularity as Full Moon, and instead struggles to survive in charts. Despite their similar beginnings, the manga and the anime of this series enjoy extremely different plotlines.
