What's Happens so Far[]
Sana is a popular child star who appears on TV in shows, movies and ads. Last year her mother wrote a book revealing that she'd found Sana abandoned on a park bench and adopted her. Sana panicked - she was afraid she'd have to leave Misako. But when she finally met her birth mother, she told her (and Misako) that Misako is her "real" mother, and everything settled down. But things can never go smoothly in Sana's life she started junior high and became good friends with a new girl, Fuka only to find out that Akito was Fuka's first kiss, too! It turned out to be nothing, but things still weren't settled between Sana and Akito. When Sana agreed to star in a big movie, she had to leave for three months of location shooting. Akito came to see her off, and said he had something to tell her...But once again, he couldn't say anything. On location, Sana finds herself thinking about Akito constantly although she isn't sure why. She's looking forward to wrapping up and getting back home, when a tabloid prints a made-up story claiming that Sana and her co-star, Naozumi, are romantically involved! Sana is annoyed, but that's nothing compared to Naozumi's crazy fans, who are furious and attack Sana...
