attention soon transfers to him. Stalked and harrassed by this

dreamed up by aspiring fashion designer Mikako Koda. In her quest to
make a name for herself in the fashion world, Mikako enters Yazawa Arts

resemblance to a rock star skyrockets him to popularity and leads him
to date the prettiest girl in school. Now Mikako can’t help but wonder
if what she feels is jealousy.
As Mikako and her friends work hard to get their club up and running,

begins to grow jealous. Later, Tsutomu and Mikako celebrate their
birthdays, but Mikako’s father’s absence weighs heavily on her heart,
prompting Tsutomu to urge her to track him down. Will this long-overdue
reunion lead to a breakthrough for Mikako, or is nothing she can do
extreme enough to force her to unbottle her emotions?
