Overview:
11-year old child star Sana Kurata seems to be in a class all by herself - the other girls look up to her and her face is shown on national TV on the famous school comedy "Child's Toy" every day. But she's about to be taken down a peg as the chaotic classroom she spends her "real" school days takes a turn for the worst under the direction of emotionless and unfeeling Akito Hayama, who leads the boys in a rebellision for the teacher and disregard for authority. It's up to Sana and the girls to bring order back into the classroom - but she may find out things about Hayama in the process that will change both of them.

Some Characters of Note:

Sana Kurata: A famous child star, Sana is popular, energetic, and a born leader. Always confident in her abilities, she carries herself with an attitude that never gives up even in the face of overwhelming odds. Her energy is infectious and tends to spread to everyone she is around - and her resolution to eliminate Hayama's rebellion against the teacher of her class will be her toughest job yet.

Akito Hayama: Seemingly devoid of anything resembling feeling, the young Akito Hayama at first leads a rebellion of boys against the teacher in his and Sana's class, causing them to make an uproar that disrupts the academic events of the day. While he is considered the leader, it seems that he doesn't enjoy what he is doing. He gets into many conflicts with Sana, but his uncaring attitude may stem from problems at home, where he is constantly verbally abused by his sister and ignored by his father.

Tsuyoshi Ohki: Tsuyoshi is also in the same class as Hayama and Sana. He eventually becomes friends with both of them, although he considers Hayama to be a best friend and Sana as someone he has a crush on. Tsuyoshi is usually very nice and even quite reserved - but he does have a dark side to him which he exhibits when someone makes fun of his mother. When this happens, he usually flies into an ungovernable rage that is almost impossible to stop unless Hayama does something about it by hitting or knocking him out.

Rei: A young and handsome man that Sana designates as her "protector, lover, driver, and pimp", Rei is very loyal to Sana and her family and is sworn to protect her from harm. He tends to wear sunglasses all the time, no matter if it is night or day, but is always shadowing Sana, or at the very least, is close at hand to assist her if she is in trouble. The story of how Rei came to be a part of Sana's family is told in the course of the series, but Sana nevertheless treats him like an older (albeit overprotective) brother.
