Natsuhiko and Mitsuru need some alone time to cement their relationship, but it doesn't look like they'll get it when Mitsuru's mother is tricked and the gang takes off on a three-day vacation. And, of course, Hijiri makes things even more complicated with his ridiculous antics. Hiding their love puts a strain on the couple, but they're pushed to their limits when Mitsuru's kidnapped by her family and dragged to a marriage interview.

It's time for New Year's, which also makes it Mikan's birthday. She's having a hard time getting people to notice her enough to tell them, but when she finds out that Natsume didn't get any New Year's cards, she feels terrible for thinking only about herself. When she runs into Narumi, she feels better and promises to protect her from anything...including the potential curse that might make her lose something important.

I first submitted a manga story a while after I graduated from high school.
In year 1996, she first made her professional debut in Bessatsu Hana to Yume"s 5th issue, entitled 5 Gatsu no Sakura (5月のサクラ, The Cherry Blossoms of May). With an interview with Tokyopop she gave a detailed look on how she started as a manga artist:
Up until then I was studying for the entrance examinations for the Art University, and as part of that, I sometimes drew manga and four-panel strip comics for fun. Because I was conscious of the fact that I had started drawing manga in earnest at a later age, I think my progress during the beginning on drawing and storytelling techniques was fast as I frantically tried to absorb everything I could learn about creating manga.
After the serialization of the story began, as I got busy, I was so desperate to submit it on time that I feel that the drawings probably haven’t improved much compared to before.
During the serialization of the manga, I think my story telling techniques improved more as I concerned myself with how to catch the attention of the readers, how well one can incorporate what the readers are seeking into the story. Her current completed work is Gakuen Alice.
