"WELL IT IS ARIKA'S FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, AND ALREADY SHE IS IN TROUBLE. APPARENTLY SHE IS ACCUSED OF SELLING A UNIFORM TO AN OTOME-FAN SHOP, WHICH SHE DENIES. ALSO A LETTER APPEARS FROM AN UNKNOWN BENEFACTOR SAYING HE WILL BE HAPPY TO PAY HER WAY ON BEHALF OF HER MOTHER. THEN SHE MAKES SOME NEW FRIENDS TO HELP GET HER OUT OF THIS JAM. THAT NIGHT SHE FINDS OUT NINA'S WEAKSPOT AND EXPOLITS IT WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASIM, BUT NINA GETS HER BACK IS GYM CLASS THE NEXT DAY. THE ARGUEMENT THAT ENSUES GET THEM ROOM DUTY WITH BIG SISTER JANICE (PEARL #4). DURING THE SWIM CLASS THE NEXT DAY, MAKA (PEARL #1) DOES A SOMETHING TO THE POOL AND ALMOST DROWNS NINA. THE ENSUING SEARCH TO FIND OUT WHAT THE CREATURES ARE ALSO BRINGS IN A GREAT DANGER TO ALL THE GIRLS. THE NEXT EPISODE BRINGS THE A DAY OFF, WHERE NINA IS WORKING AT THE CASTLE FOR SOME MONEY AND RUNS INTO THE QUEEN. DURING AN ARGUEMENT, THEY STUMBLE INTO AN UNDERGROUND CATACOMB AND FIND AN ANCIENT DEVICE KNOWN AS THE HARMONIUM, WHICH BREAKS THE GEMS IN ARIKA'S EAR AND THE QUEENS RING. A NEW SLAVE ATTACKS AND NINA UNLEASHES THE POWER THE THE SAPPHIRE GEMSTONE. THEN THE FINAL EPISODE SHOWS ARIKA CLEANING THE TOMB OF THE FIRST OTOME BECAUSE SHE CAN NOT GO TO DANCE BATTLE CLASS WITH HER GEMSTOME AND SHE NEEDS TO BREAK THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE QUEEN AND HER. THE GIRLS DECIDE TO SNEAK INTO THE FORBIDDEN LIBRARY TO SEE IF IT CAN BE DONE AND FIND THE MASOLEUM OF THE OTOMES (AND THE HEADMISTRESS).

THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF FAN SERVICE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GO TO THE EXTRA'S AND WATCH THE CONSPIRACY EPISODE....BUT THIS IS A FUN SERIES AND A MUST IF YOU LIKED THE HIME SERIES. SEE YOU NEXT DISK"
