Chihiro is appearing in a TV drama, so she’s supposed to be practicing her acting. But is Maaya really going to kiss her?! Witnessing Maaya’s affection for Chihiro, Sakiko feels a tangle of emotions. Meanwhile, Chihiro is shocked when she sees the script and her part! Sakiko and Maaya are glad their idol’s career is taking off, but it’s complicated…things aren't so simple in Volume 5!
