Synopsis
 

All synopsis are by Zahara Medina, and cannot be used anywhere else without her permission. As she is just a student of Japanese, any help, comments or corrections are more than welcome! ^^;
Please, go to the Image Gallery to see the covers in full! ^^
(And remember to buy these tankobon if you like the summaries, it's the best way of thanking the authors and the synopsis are nothing compared to the real thing! ^^ )

Note: B/w scans are from the magazine, where the print is in low quality paper and different ink colors so it sometimes scans pretty bad and leaves lots of noise in the picture. The tankoubon quality is, of course, much better (perfect, that is).

previous chapter

Chapter 30 (Jun'2003) [ vol.06 ]

(beta version)

Kurosaki warns Kyouko and Kotonami not to injure themselves (or their faces) or they'll lose the part, so of course Erika spends most of the following hours attempting to damage Kotonami while she and Kyouko are out walking around and getting to know each other better. Eventually Kotonami confronts Erika and they agree to fight each other in the professional field. Kotonami then gives Kyouko a 100 point stamp on her stamp book while she is sleeping, because she gave her much needed and good advice whilst her confrontations with Erika.

Chapter 31 (Jun'2003) [ vol.06 ]

(beta version)

Kyouko and Kotonami film the commercial for the soft drink (they are dressed as school girls) while Maria-chan takes Ren to visit them. Kyouko feels sad because she is missing high school and LME productions president sees this. At the end Ren's manager falls sick and he dares Kyouko to do his job.

Chapter 32 (Jul'2003) [ vol.06 ]

Rory (LME President) is all down because he's been waiting for Kyouko but she is out with Ren acting as his temporary manager. Finally someone tells him that if he wants to talk with her, he should just call her cellphone (^^; ).

Meanwhile, Kyouko is failing (very) miserably at being Ren's manager. She's totally over her head at all the things he has to do, plus she keeps messing up at the studios. She even hears two of the staff commenting on how she is more a bother than a help to Ren.

While they are in Ren's car her stomach grumbles really loudly and Ren is surprised she didn't pack lunch so he takes her out for dinner. She decides on a family restaurant where she can eat a burger. Kyouko really likes burgers (^^; ).
Ren has a flashback to little Kyouko finding rocks in the shape of burger patties, and when he showed her a big one, she declared it the "King of the Burger Kingdom." (^^;;; ) When he smiles at her, Kyouko feels her heart skip a beat... and then wonders in horror why that happened.

A group of high school girls at a nearby table start babbling about high school and after a row between them and Kyouko's demons, Kyouko realizes Ren has already finished and is waiting for her in the car. After they leave, Ren asks Kyouko if her not going to high school is related to Fuwa Shou. Kyouko tells Ren that he used her to be able to enter the show business.
Flashback to little Kyouko happily saying that Shou-chan is her prince and he will give her a glass shoe when she grows up and she will become a princess and be his bride. Ren realizes the "shou-chan" she was talking about was Fuwa Shou after all.
Kyouko finishes her story by saying that once she becomes a star she can look over her shoulder at Shou. Ren says that working with an actor who became a star just with that type of motivation would be really unpleasant.

Kyouko's demons start to fly (Ren is repellant to them) but she tries to tell him he is mistaken in his assumptions about her motives... crashing right against the car ceiling. In that moment she notices her cellphone is in vibration mode. It's LME President really (childishly ^^; ) upset it took so long for her to pick up his calls. He says he wants to talk to her about high school but that maybe she is no longer interested. Kyouko thinks she really, really wants to go!
