* BuxomIsBetter: Kyoko knows Sho's tastes lean towards women with more grown up figures - she suspects it might have something to do with why her classmate Mimori Nanokura was cast as one of the angels in Sho's promo video (an author's note states that she has E-cup breasts), and Kyoko flat out tells Mimori that Sho prefers "girls like you." Kyoko also watches Sho flirting with the general producer Haruki Asami (a woman whom Kyoko describes as "oozing pheromones") while cheating on his manager Shoko (who has what Kyoko calls a "sexy dynamite" figure).

All of Kyoko's dreams are coming true! She's got a best friend now, even if Moko denies it. She's finally going to high school (so what if a self-important idol classmate is picking on her -- Kyoko knows how to deal with bullies). And she's landed a spot in the promotional video for Sho's new song, which comes with a perfect opportunity for revenge! Life doesn't get any better than this.

But Kyoko's plan to use Sho as a stepping stone on her fast-track to fame could go up in smoke if Sho figures out she's the same Kyoko he ditched in the name of fortune and fame. Kyoko's got her work cut out for her if she wants to stay on the project, especially when she learns that her co-actor in the promotional video is none other than Mimori Nanokura: the same girl who belittles Kyoko in their special actors-and-talents class in high school! Now Kyoko's got to make sure that Mimori doesn't inadvertently reveal her true identity to Sho, while keeping her own seething grudge against him under wraps!

[[caption-width-right:331:The hated devil that has caused all of Kyoko's suffering is finally within reach!]]

All Kyoko's dreams are coming true! She's got a best friend (okay, so Moko still needs to come to terms with their bosom-buddyhood, but she's learning). She's finally going to high school (so what if a mean girl is picking on her -- Kyoko knows how to deal with bullies). And she's landed a spot in Sho's new video (Yes! Revenge! ''Bwa ha ha ha!''). Life doesn't get any better than this.

!! This volume contains the chapters:

* Act 36. "The Road of Glamorous Success"
* Act 37. "The Grating Wheel"
* Act 38. "The Date of Destiny"
* Act 39. "A Ghost of Herself"
* Act 40. "Armageddon"
* Act 41. "Killing the Devil"

----
!!Chapters in this volume provide examples of:

* BuxomIsBetter: Kyoko knows Sho's tastes lean towards women with more grown up figures - she suspects it might have something to do with why her classmate Mimori Nanokura was cast as one of the angels in Sho's promo video (an author's note states that she has E-cup breasts), and Kyoko flat out tells Mimori that Sho prefers "girls like you." Kyoko also watches Sho flirting with the general producer Haruki Asami (a woman whom Kyoko describes as "oozing pheromones") while cheating on his manager Shoko (who has what Kyoko calls a "sexy dynamite" figure).
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: The costumers were probably going for this effect when they put Kyoko and Mimori in blonde wigs for their angel costumes.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Sho's devil costume includes a very long, swishy ponytail.
* PimpedOutDress: Kyoko and Mimori both get to wear these as part of their angel costumes:
** Mimori's is a more fluffy dress with lace detailing and a mock-corset front over an asymmetrical tiered skirt, befitting her role as the more playful angel who falls in love.
** Kyoko's dress is a flowing, Grecian styled gown with trailing sleeves and sleeker lines.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The devil costume Sho wears includes red contact lenses. Just to drive home the point that his character is evil.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Sho tricks Kyoko into revealing herself by showing her a bottle of perfume she had taken a liking to when they lived together (not that she could afford to buy it after paying for all his expenses). The bottle is shaped like a swan, and though the brand name is "Royal Snow" she nicknamed it "Odette" after the tragic heroine of Theatre/SwanLake. He knows he's dealing with the same Kyoko Mogami he dumped when she blurts out "Odette."
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Sho's devil costume includes a white wig with [[LongHairedPrettyBoy a ponytail]].
