The phantom busters are given a task from the Student Body president in order to save their club room, and in the process, Mogari also reveals he has a fairly impossible task from his family to exorcist a large number of demons in a year or lose his privilege of going to school. The president secretly is a huge fan of the paranormal, but his steely exterior must be maintained, especially around his subordinates. Korekishi has his own problems — his mother threatens to have him transferred to another school if he doesn’t quit the phantom busters, and a former classmate also pressures him to quit the club to realize his full leadership potential elsewhere.

Precocious maid Hana is constantly late to meals, and her hero attitude often gets her into much bigger situations. Maids in this world aren’t just folks who clean and cook — they also shred around town. A trip to the market lands her and her board in the river as she attempts a sick jump across it. Catching a fish-thieving kitten spirals into saving a baby in a pram and chasing both throughout a crowded shopping and outdoor dining area. Hana still has a lot to learn about being a top maid and a top skater!

Then, Sakura and his new senpai are now given a mission to find the girl in the black sailor outfit who tangled with them once before.
After an intense year and the burn out that followed, Angelica is easing back into having responsibilities by interning at the local community theater. This winter, they're reviving a classic and honoring a community favorite play, The Bear Prince, which includes Peri the Bear.
