SCHOOL DAZEJust as Ruby and Steph are starting to become close, Ruby’s dad shows up and pulls her out of school! Her father wants Ruby to come and live with him in Italy, but she isn’t too keen on the idea. Steph doesn’t want her to go either, so the two come up with a plan: if Ruby can pass the school’s scholarship exam, then her father will have to let her stay.

Young author Aki Fujino appeared poised to making it big in the world of publishing. Her debut title UTSUBORA was being pitched about to a number of editors and at least one person felt it was set to propel her into stardom. However, before she could ever have her book published, the young woman was found dead. Some believe it was a suicide, but those close to her feel there is something more sinister involved in this young talent's death. Aki's death has become something straight out of a mystery. Much like the story behind UTSUBORA, there is something more to Aki, Sakura and their relationship with an author named Mizorogi than meets the eye. And it is possible that the only way to solve this mystery may be to uncover all their secrets.
