Changes about at Seika Academy this year... including new dorm arrangements! They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but will this hold true for Izumi and Hikaru - especially when Ayase and Ukyo drop in for a surprise visit? Izumi's worried that Hikaru's feelings for her beloved sensei will rekindle, but poor Hikaru has other things on her mind: she's just been forced into competing in a pop star contest!

In this final explosive volume of Tenshi Ja Nai, Izumi's secret is finally exposed! When his worst enemy finds out Izumi is really a guy, will the results keep him away from Hikaru forever?

Before she left her rural village to go to school in the big city, six-year-old Shinobu told her friend Saizou to grow up strong so he could someday come and protect her. Now 16, Shinobu's enjoying life at the Tokyo Private Imperial Academy. But when a male exchange student comes to the school, it turns out to be none other than Saizou!

When Saizo was orphaned, a caring family took him in. His new brother and best friend Sasuke still sees it as his duty to protect Saizo, even as Saizo protects Shinobu. But Sasuke isn't too crazy about Shinobu, who he sees as a stuck-up, spoiled brat. Things only get worse when her mother comes for a visit. To complicate matters, there's another attempt on Shinobu's life!

As if things weren't crazy enough, Chiyo, a female ninja from Saizo's village, arrives in Tokyo to challenge Shinobu at the school's upcoming athletics festival. Chiyo's got a thing for Saizo and if she wins, she's going to take him back home with her. Saizo may not feel the same towards Chiyo, but his adopted brother Sasuke sure does, making this whole situation even more complicated.

The school festival has finally ended, and thankfully, Chiyo didn't completely destroy it. In fact, her desperate attempts to earn Saizo's affections have only driven Shinobu and Saizo closer together. Saizo's adoptive brother Sasuke gets some big news from back home, forcing a return to his village. What's the big secret that he can't reveal?

It seems misfortune surrounds Sasuke wherever he goes, which is precisely why Shinobu's family has blacklisted this troublemaker and his brother Nozomi. Despite strict instructions not to see Sasuke, Shinobu - accompanied by her ever-loyal ninja protector Saizo - runs away to do just that. But when they instead fall prey to a trap set by kidnappers, will Saizo be able to save his lifelong friend?

Shinobu's relationship with the ninja Saizo is changing. Are they shifting from lady and protector to something a lot more equal... and way more romantic? Shinobu's mom warns her to back off, but her teacher Shogo is a bit more open-minded. Meanwhile, someone's got a security tape that shows the young couple in an affectionate embrace and Saizo's determined to keep it suppressed.

Young Capria has completed her studies at the Arsenal School and has begun her internship with the Elysia Unification Council under Father Garrincha. But no lessons could prepare this sheltered novice for the outside world, where rebels battle against the dreaded "Testarotho."Heretics are tried and burned at the stake, warring religious factions battle for power, and the common people live a miserable life in feudal servitude.

Converting heretics to the church of Arsenal is a difficult and sometimes deadly task, and Inquisitor Garrincha is the best Neo Arsen has to offer. It's no wonder the man has scores of enemies among non-believers and those faithful to his church. When an entire village of heretics is found dead, Garrincha and his entourage are brutally captured, and he's charged with the massacre.

Testarotho races towards its exciting conclusion! Trapped behind enemy lines, Leonedus and Capria find solace where they least expect it - with the very Materia rebels they came to exterminate.
