Backstage at the Kabuki theatre; Meet the Kabuki prince; Love blossoms backstage; Even a Kabuki Prince needs love

Drawn into the exciting world of kabuki theatre, young Akari spends her time after school assisting the famous actor Shonosuke Ichimura. In the real world, however, this prince of kabuki is actually a high school cutie by the name of Ryusei Horiuchi.

There's trouble brewing behind the kabuki curtain. Ryusei's dad doesn't want anything--or anyone!--distracting his son from his chosen profession. It's no secret that he disapproves of Ryusei's romance with Akari. Now he's determined to sabotage their relationship any way he can!
