This final volume begins with Hikaru thinking everything is finally perfect, but when things don't work out as she'd wanted, she realizes maybe she and Izumi aren't meant to be, after all.

Hikaru is cast as the beast in the school play of Beauty and the Beast. Unfortunately, Belle is being played by Hikaru's rival Ukyo, who is also the director, and she makes rehearsals a nightmare. Then, Hikaru catches the teacher she has a crush on getting a little too close to a classmate.

Can Hikaru find storybook love on the stage? It's time for the Seika Academy school play, and this year the girls will be putting on Beauty and the Beast. Of course the ever-popular Izumi gets cast in the role of Belle, but that leaves poor Hikaru in the role of the Beast.

When two twenty-year-old women with the same first name meet and become best friends despite their different personalities, they experience a world of music, fashion, sex, gossip, and all-night parties.

"Nothing is more curious and awkward than the relationship of two people who only know each other with their eyes -- who meet and observe each other daily, even hourly and who keep up the impression of disinterest either because of morals or because of a mental abnormality. Between them there is listlessness and pent-up curiosity, the hysteria of an unsatisfied, unnaturally suppressed need for communion and also a kind of tense respect. Because man loves and honours man as long as he is not able to judge him, and desire is a product of lacking knowledge."― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales
