-Narumi's evil double has finally been captured. His name is Minoru, and he's a popular special effects makeup artist. The main reason for his evil deeds was jealousy - his model girlfriend liked Narumi a lot - but in addition to that, Chihiro Osawa is his older brother! Can Kiri help him move past his appearance and focus on realizing his dream?
-Narumi gets a bit more insight into Kiri and her past, while the reluctant girl begins to really see how much her work is changing lives and making people happy. Ochiai, after learning that she gave Minoru a haircut, vows to get Kiri to join the S.P. once and for all!
-Bonus story one: Kiri goes to LA (in America) to meet with her busy mom. While there she has a rather violent encounter with a young actress named Jodi Macarton, who is never happy with what her personal hairstylist does (a well known stylist named Billy Iketani). Can Kiri bring back old memories and make things well again for the bothered little girl?
-Bonus story two: Narumi's little sister, Chisami, has always been super popular with boys, but all the girls treat her quite poorly as a result. Her best and probably only real friend, Makoto, admires her strength and wants very much to be her prince. But, that honor has already been given to Kiri! Hurt and upset, he doesn't tell her when his family suddenly decides to move. Can Chisami thank her friend for all that he's done for her before he leaves? Will he get to be her prince?
-Bonus story three: Mysterious things keep happening around Kiri - when she wants juice, it appears next to her. When she falls down a flight of stairs, a strange boy catches her. Could an old, furry friend be behind it? Why are there reports of a ghost around the school?
-This particular story is from "Beauty Pop, Stage Two." It's basically a continuation of the Beauty Pop series after the mangaka took a hiatus. Kiri helps another lost soul (only this time, the girl doesn't turn around and try to win over the guy who originally rejected her), and the S.P. prepares for another show. But an unexpected guest shows up, and he's not about to let Narumi swim in his ego any longer. Could he be a threat? Possibly. He's Billy Iketani!
While cute and entertaining, there isn't much to it. It's mostly bonus stories and plot fluff.
