Parthenon Productions is a flurry of activity as it divides its energies between reassuring the public and its sponsors that Creamy Mami has not dropped off the face of the Earth and arranging a concert to this end; after seeing Hayato trip over a garbage can after Shingo bawls him out, Mami agrees to cooperate oblivious to the necessary hours that she will have to keep and that Toshio is starting to make the correlation between Yuu and Creamy Mami. The Creamy Mami mirage starts coming unraveled when Yuu oversleeps the next morning and underestimates the logistics of deceiving her parents when they advise Yuu to contact Toshio about her successful home commute. True to Nega's admonition about the hefty stakes involved, things take a turn for the worse when Tetsuo and Natsume challenge Yuu about the subterfuge which they think is some immoral activity behind their backs; if her parents' lack of confidence in her is not enough, Yuu also finds it awkward to face Toshio who continues to struggle for a healthy perspective of Yuu who exhorts his presence at what could be Creamy Mami's ultimate concert as the Feather Star begins its course for Earth.

The ambiance is intense as the audience awaits Creamy Mami's arrival so that the concert can get underway; upon seeing the audience population tabulation, Shingo is overjoyed as he recalls his entire prologue with Creamy Mami who wishes a solo concert much to his shock as he wonders why Mami feels the need to rush her professional career. The frustrated Megumi ironically becomes the deus ex machina that enables the concert to begin in earnest; amid short-circuiting electrical equipment that gives Shingo cause to suspend the concert, Creamy Mami sings with everything she has even though she knows the outcome along with Posi and Nega as Toshio feverishly searches for an apparatus to test his hypothesis that Yuu and Creamy Mami are one and the same. Just as Mami prepares to sing the final song, the Feather Star's descent for a landing clearly visible to everybody sets the stage for Mami to have explained to her that the deal is over especially since Toshio has remembered everything. After contributing special effects to complement Mami's final song as a final parting gift, Pino-Pino gets underway with Posi and Nega as he tells Yuu he is not hostile to an occasional visit before depositing her right where Toshio can escort her home.

Creamy Mami enthralling her fans who admire her music with every concert she does throughout her career quickly gives way to encountering fanatics whose shouting during a concert nearly causes a riot in the auditorium and in the streets where it is explained that the »fanatics« are members of the Mami Fan Club. While Shingo panics as Hayato explains him the High Society Club along with its leader Shinosuke Hyoudou, Toshio fumes in frustration at Creamy Mami and Yuu falling into Shinosuke's sway so easily as he suspects that Shinosuke has ulterior motives -- a sentiment reflected in a phone call he makes that night. Shinosuke's sinister strategy is obfuscated very poorly by his enjoinder for the Fan Club to forbid cheering during the concert much to Mami's delight. Mami accidentally leaving Nega and Posi behind in the car becomes the ironic deus ex machina for ultimately learning what Toshio and Nega have been suspecting all along about Shinosuke; an abrupt bite out of crime later, Mami daydreams about whether she will encounter true love when she is older when Hayato reminds her of the concert.

A nightmare that Shingo is having one night becomes the preamble to having it explained that Governor Tachibana has discovered a below-ground catacomb of tunnels that are reputed to house vast treasure that could greatly boost anybody's micro-economy. Shingo reads this as an opportunity to boost Parthenon Productions's economic fortunes with a TV special; while Shingo and Governor Tachibana agonize over when the actual excavation will begin before having it explained that there is a family curse associated with the estate, Mamoru gleams with the excitement of the hunt as he races off with Yuu right on his heels along with Toshio and Midori. Shingo and Governor Tachibana now caught with their pants down with the newly-arrived television crew frightened that they will have the treasure stolen from them, the excavation begins in earnest along with the filming to reveal a tunnel into which Mamoru eagerly leads the way deftly defeating the traps he encounters. The ultimate irony of the whole spelunking adventure is that there is neither treasure nor family curse; the closest thing to a curse is the 2.25 mega-yen lesson to want what you already have that Shingo is not refined enough to master.

Upon arriving at Parthenon Productions, Creamy Mami has it explained that she is to participate in a fashion show the next day whose feature presentation is the wedding dress known as »Marian's Eyes« whose colorful prologue includes a curse that makes all the women who wear it commit suicide; after completing her henshin, Mami encounters the dress in the adjacent room with a bloodstain on it and again when Megumi is unsuccessful in fulfilling the required dimensions of the unsoiled dress. If that is not unsettling enough for Mami, Producer Todoroki signaling an interest in Kyouko Benikouji along with a postcard admonishing against wearing the »Marian's Eyes« becomes the forum for the mystery of finding a way to defeat the dress's suicidal curse. The only way is to incinerate the dastardly dress -- a volition that the circumstances successfully stalemate; the ultimate irony is not that Mami is a tough customer but that the whole thing is an authentic but slightly cruel double-blind appraisal of Mami for a movie role at the hands of Shingo and Director Karatsu.

Capitalizing on a lull in the action one afternoon, Shingo decides to demonstrate his newly-endorsed helicopter piloting prowess during a flight around town much to Megumi's consternation; in contrast, Creamy Mami is in absolute seventh heaven as she enjoys the aerial perspective of the city and takes in stride Shingo losing his concentration in shock of Mami not understanding his soliloquy extolling the virtues of flight. After the circus of Megumi trying to egress the helicopter while in flight and Shingo frantically trying to regain control, Hayato relaying the call of real life sets the stage for a dream storm to swamp the helicopter into a alternate reality plane that allows Toshio to hear the helicopter but not to see it; if that is not enough, even Posi and Nega have no idea how to resolve the situation when Yuu's magic is of no utility within the alternate reality of the dream storm. Faced with being atop a crumbling mesa along with an ocean that reflects subconscious associations, it ultimately falls upon Yuu to innovate the necessary deus ex machina to escape back home before time runs out for both Shingo and Megumi along with herself.

The task of sorting fan mail becomes anything but a pedestrian routine for Hayato Kidokiro when he discovers a ring in a letter meant for Creamy Mami that decides upon him as a suitable beta alternative; while Hayato divides his energies between his work and removing the ring, the Tongari crown prince is led through a visit to Yuu's school where Yuu is filmed presenting flowers to his father the King oblivious that Tetsuo and Natsume would have liked to witness that event live. Toshio's zeal for a photograph with Creamy Mami becomes the forum to have it demonstrated that the Tongari crown prince is being forced to forfeit his life as a human sacrifice for having sent the ring to Creamy Mami unless the ring is retrieved -- a task that is read to mean that Hayato must lose a finger . . . and would have if not for Posi and Nega's »Stop that at once!!!« telekinetic onslaught that sends the sentries packing. Galvanized by the scope of the Tongarian cultural imbrogilo that has been visited unto him, it ultimately falls on Creamy Mami to improvise a deus ex machina as the frustrated sentries and the sinister shaman converge upon Hayato with mortal designs.

Fuming at having been given his walking papers, Snake Joe harbors dark feelings as he contemplates the deus ex machina that recoups his groove; meanwhile, Creamy Mami finds herself charged adherence to a strict deadline when Toshio exhorts company during the home commute on the train with Midori. Snake Joe's stakeout of Creamy Crepes pays off when Mami arrives at home to reply her parents' call; armed with the data of her response, Snake Joe then tries to capitalize upon this by conducting a »Candid Camera« exposé whose back-end logistics are a bit difficult because of his professional prologue. As the exposé begins, it appears that Snake Joe's subterfuge is right on track when Creamy Mami is shocked to see Tetsuo and Natsume but keeps composed about it until a bandit invades the store. The irony of the whole thing is that Snake Joe ultimately has it demonstrated that the success of his subterfuge can have far worse consequences than failure; while he did actually succeed in illuminating the link Creamy Mami has with Tetsuo and Natsume, Snake Joe finds that the joke is on him when the »bandit« demands his non-existent salary while Yuu learns to exercise greater discretion.

Between getting slapped by Megumi and being twisted in knots over Creamy Mami arriving at the last minute along with the strict nocturnal curfew she observes, Shingo is an absolute nervous wreck; in an attempt to set his mind at ease, he taps Megumi in prosecuting an undercover investigation to learn the data necessary to successfully summon Creamy Mami at will. Megumi counters with an admonition that Shingo should do his own dirty work before leading him through a metamorphosis into the persona Hitomi that galvanizes the chivalry and libido of every male in the vicinity much to Shingo's paranoid dismay; still, none of this compares to Shingo as Hitomi being lusted after by Hayato and his own father Governor Tachibana. While Posi and Nega divide their energies between speculating on Shingo's rationale for the transvestitism and recoiling with revulsion at the concept, Yuu decides to do some investigating of her own oblivious to the hullabaloo Hayato and Governor Tachibana are causing over Hitomi. When this chaotic circus reaches its ultimate zenith, absolutely nobody is happy -- least of all Yuu who has been forced to act as an errand girl only to be eviscerated because of Toshio and Midori's poor performance.

The opening ceremony for the new semester sets the stage for Yuu to find herself the disciple of a freshly graduated Yuuichirou Akagi who shocks class 5-1 with a test to appraise their academic prowess; if that tactic by itself is not enough to raise red flags like with Mamoru, Yuuichirou makes a house call to the homes of the students that fail the test -- a population comprising most of class 5-1. Upon having this explained to her, Natsume decides to flirt with Yuuichirou when he comes for a visit; not long after he arrives, Yuuichirou wastes no time getting right down to business with Yuu's academic performance becoming the forum for a hard sales pitch to a cram school in which the other students are not thrilled about Yuu's presence or her affinity for pacing herself. Mamoru's concern about what the cram school will end up doing to Yuu ultimately becomes the catalyst for Natsume being forced to acknowledge her fallibility when Yuu falls ill right before a crucial exam along with having demonstrated that success has far worse consequences than failure in some cases.

An excited Shingo racing in with the news of successfully arranging the Hong Kong locale of Creamy Mami's first anniversary concert on July 1 becomes the forum for Yuu having it explained that the arithmetic is simply not in her favor; in spite of this, Yuu decides to go through with the concert after having Shingo reschedule it in Japan much to the shock of the two cats as she goes to dinner -- a task far more easily contemplated than conducted even for Megumi who senses something off with Mami that evening; a maternal reminder about the school bag later, Natsume also senses something amiss with Yuu who seeks comfort from Toshio's aid of her school commute oblivious to the fact that somebody has already made the choice for Creamy Mami's retirement. Suspecting that the public relations media circus is Snake Joe's subterfuge, Shingo confronts him only to find that Snake Joe has decided to turn over a new leaf with Kumiko -- a penance that prompts Snake Joe into one last investigation. Creamy Mami's »kidnapping« during her home commute has the ironic silver lining of ultimately accomplishing for her what she herself could not -- a June 29 concert at the Central Horse Racing Club.

Creamy Crepes and Parthenon Productions behaving the proverb »Great minds think alike« on a beautiful day sets the stage for Toshio and Shingo's social missteps to get them in hot water with Yuu and Megumi. While Shingo is able to gulp down a lot of humble pie for not watching his words to Megumi, seeing past Toshio's immature human fallibility is the last thing on Yuu's mind especially when Toshio derails her concentration when jumping across a river. Be it to teach Yuu a lesson in appreciating her assets or to simply have fun, an apparition decides to envelop the sextet inside her mystic pseudo-reality of a spatially-enclosed forest with an empty house as the nexus. Yuu is shocked to find that the apparition has housed herself within Toshio to wield him as an escape vehicle only for Yuu to foil the attempted abduction; after Hayato explains her the prologue behind the apparition Andrea that abducts children that look like her late paramour, Yuu realizes the danger Toshio is in and rushes to the rescue. The ultimate silver lining during this interactive ghost story is that Andrea is merely misguided and has not a mean bone in her body although she does try her best to inhibit Yuu's proximity while she makes her escape with Toshio; all Creamy Mami had to do is to acknowledge how important Toshio is to her and understand Andrea's feelings.

While Creamy Mami does her thing in the studio, Megumi wonders when the next vacation will be when Shingo's father signals an interest in returning to Japan to celebrate Shingo's birthday and address his poor marriage prospects. Megumi inquires the nature of the phone call in an attempt to help Shingo define the imbroglio he faces before leaving a »Stop being so obtuse!!!« slap across the chops as a parting gift. While Megumi computes how to wield Toshio in her counterstrike subterfuge against Mami and curry Governor Tachibana's favor in the hope of marrying Shingo, Yuu is making time with Toshio when she strikes it rich in a lottery to secure a pair of amusement park tickets; for Yuu, the circumstances involuntarily force her into an encounter with the resentful Toshio who decided for the party after she mistakenly lashed out at him. This along with Shingo and Megumi's adversarial subterfuge ultimately ignites a three-ring circus that becomes the ironic evening entertainment much to Snake Joe's delight; while Megumi tries to salvage the damaged first impression, Toshio sees the light as he leads Yuu through the park.

Creamy Mami is not thrilled to have it explained that she is to participate in a romance movie complete with the trademark kissing scene or that Shingo has made the choice for her to the point of having arranged an audition to that effect; about the only silver lining in this is Toshio offering himself for the male lead and the other judges taking an additional interest in him even though he ends up coming in a close second to the decided-upon male lead Masaki Shirato. Even as he tries to play it down later that evening, Toshio is just as anguished at the prospect of Creamy Mami having to kiss a stranger as part of her work while Yuu has second thoughts about her decision to go through with it that sends her racing off to Toshio in the middle of the night; while Natsume and Tetsuo divide their energies between deciding to apply some family government or to analyze the deviant diagnostic that sent Yuu into the night, Toshio confronts three girls conspiring to ruin the kissing scene the morning of the filming. Mami and Masaki now sent for a watery spill, it ultimately falls on Toshio to save the day; as an additional bonus, both Yuu and Toshio exchange their first kiss with each other.

While out and about at the amusement park one afternoon, Toshio races ahead to secure the optimum perspective of the upcoming Creamy Mami concert while Yuu leads Midori through a roller coaster ride in which he faints; while taking responsibility for Midori is relatively simple and straightforward, finding a private location to conduct the henshin into Creamy Mami proves to be a challenge for Yuu -- especially when a secluded location is a house of mirrors that causes the henshin to summon a mirror image doppelganger that wastes no time causing an uproar around town. Astonished at the lack of modesty demonstrated by the doppelganger and anguished at the effect it has on Toshio who eventually begins to put two and two together, Yuu decides to get into the act herself after heeding Nega's recommendation to have a mirror on hand; a frenzied pursuit sequence later, Creamy Mami ultimately corners the doppelganger into an iconoclastic strategy that brings about her voluntary return to the mirror.

Parthenon Productions receiving a heartfelt letter from a boy named Kenji facing a surgery that could prove just as deadly as the disease it is meant to treat tugs on Hayato's heartstrings while Shingo sees it as a professional opportunity as he charges Hayato a schedule change for Creamy Mami. The convoy of news vans provides Kenji the perfect excuse to go investigate the hullabaloo with his derisive neighbors; while Yuu tries to give her swim coach the slip after Midori intercedes for her, the actual situation is demonstrated to be somewhat more complex than meets the eye when it turns out that it is Kenji's yakuza grandfather Tamegoro Zenigami that needs the pep talk. Shingo and Hayato have quite the imbroglio on their hands: it is a public relations disaster if it is argued they have ties to the yakuza and also if they spurn a young boy's entreaty for assistance because of what he was born into. While the mirage Creamy Mami leads Kenji and Shingo through takes care of the other reporters, the tabloid reporter known as Snake Joe is not so easily dispatched. Snake Joe's attempt to pervert Creamy Mami's humanitarian compassion to his professional advantage becomes the forum for Kenji's former detractors to ultimately show their true colors after Mami asserts her innocence; a telekinetic juggling act from Posi and Nega instigates Snake Joe's retreat and Tamegoro's successful recovery.

While Hayato and Shingo compare notes with Megumi about whether Creamy Mami will be punctual for an advertisement filming in a wilderness area reputed to have a black stag that has been visiting unto the locals bad luck, Yuu daydreams about being on a date with Toshio cured of his Creamy Mami addiction but causes a misunderstanding on the train when she speculates out loud Toshio and Midori's hidden motives for the outing; during the bus ride from the train station, Nega and Posi compare notes about the legend describing a magical stag that once resided on the Feather Star along with the pros and cons of emancipating the mystical ungulate from its subterranean prison. The astonished adoration of the black stag quickly gives way to it being time for Yuu to do her thing as Creamy Mami. The black stag's risky shortcut whose zenith is being trapped on a high rock ledge has the ironic silver lining of ultimately being the commercial Creamy Mami is to have done originally; now his former golden normal-sized self, the stag explains Mami his prologue and leaves behind the capability to manipulate the environment as he returns to the Feather Star.

While Creamy Mami's career continues to thrive and flourish, Shingo soon finds that there is a price to be paid for taking Megumi for granted when Snake Joe explains Megumi the interest in her LP Productions has taken; after observing the concourse, Yuu sets course for home where Midori explains her the idea behind hikinuki and the damage it causes alongside Toshio who adds that the whole thing is up to Megumi. Firmly resolved to extinguish Snake Joe's subterfuge, Yuu approaches Shingo with her concerns the next day only to find that Snake Joe is a step ahead of her as he forces Shingo's hand and backs him into a corner; if Shingo's complacency about Megumi's loyalty and his obliviousness to Megumi's frustration are not enough, Megumi's brinkmanship gambit to scare capitulation of Shingo ignites an adversarial divergent concourse with resolution and epilogue uncertain. While Snake Joe tries to wield Megumi's ambivalence to his advantage, Yuu finds that the ultimate deus ex machina to resolve things lies in Shingo and Megumi's collaborative prologue involving the »Parasol of Stars«; a scavenger hunt for clues across town and a magical intercession from Creamy Mami later, Megumi and Shingo reconcile their differences.

The hysterical frenzy over Creamy Mami's debut song evenly divided between people buying the album and converging on the upcoming concert obfuscates that the magical idol is actually Yuu Morisawa effecting the mirage of being infirm -- although she almost blows it at the mention of her favorite dish. Yuu finds that the successful concert at Parthenon Productions as Creamy Mami does her no good against Natsume's zeal to impart her maternal perspective on her subterfuge or the impromptu test for sleeping in class; if those problems are not enough, Toshio's teasing and a collision into Midori costs Yuu her compact right when she is going to need it the most. Yuu's frantic search for the compact gets a big boost from Toshio explaining that Midori at the amusement park has it; while she successfully conquers the high-stakes aerial adventure necessary for its retrieval, Yuu ultimately ends up igniting Megumi's vendetta of Creamy Mami.

While Tetsuo pours the crepe batter and decides what flavor to use, Natsume teases him about how he has programmed Yuu to always have male friends as evidenced by Mamoru who arrives with Yuu; it seems that Yuu and Mamoru have been charged a school essay they have no idea how to resolve. When she arrives outside with the crepes, Natsume explains Mamoru Yuu's prologue of having all kinds of adulthood aspirations before getting back to work. What Yuu is shocked to find at the dance school the next morning makes Tetsuo and Natsume's »Contain yourself this instant!!!« family government for celebrating being given the green light last night seem quite tame: the dance school expecting its students to have prior background data on several dance styles. Undaunted by the persecution, Yuu decides to defeat the dance school at its own aptitude test as she takes to preparing for it through various avenues. The ironic silver lining of Yuu unsuccessfully defeating the test is that Toshio ultimately acknowledges his human fallibility along with Yuu's efforts at refining herself while Yuu decides upon becoming a beautiful bride for her essay.

After an afternoon game of tag with Mamoru who then gives chase after a flock of nightingales flying north, Yuu assuming an iconoclastic perspective for viewing the sunset before deciding to engage in some role-playing with Toshio sets the stage for the two kids to encounter Peter Lyne who leads the two kids through a tour of the Galaxy Circus. Caught up in the moment, Yuu decides for a henshin to Creamy Mami as the assistant to the circus exhibition she finds herself in while Toshio gets a big clue of a deviant diagnostic when Peter signals an interest in taking Yuu with him when the Circus leaves -- by any means necessary fair or foul. The ultimate silver lining of Yuu being hypnotized into performing on the trapeze is that Yuu realizes that she would much rather have Toshio teasing her than Peter coaxing her through difficult and dangerous circus tricks; after he explains Yuu his prologue, Peter departs with the Circus and the admonition that their next engagement will be in 1991.

Snake Joe is awakened from a sound sleep of Creamy Mami having perverted his subterfuge to his detriment once too often by Kumiko who exhorts his assistance in the synthesis of okonkomiyaki; after giving the matter some thought, Snake Joe reconsiders as he sets in motion a bid to have his revenge by attacking the Morisawa family economy. Tetsuo and Natsume have quite the imbrogilo on their hands: they do not realize Yuu has been leading a double life as Creamy Mami right under their noses; still, not yielding this data to Snake Joe will scuttle their economy. Realizing that Snake Joe will at best break even with his incumbent tactics as he washes the van alongside Mamoru who explains Kumiko's commercial prologue in Osaka, Tetsuo decides to hold a contest while Snake Joe approaches Creamy Mami with a contest challenge of his own: whichever of the two businesses Creamy Crepes or Okonkomiyari Car of Fire sells the most in a week wins. During the calendar week of the competition, both businesses employ various tactics fair and foul to build their clientele base at whose acme is Kumiko availing her father's friends from Osaka in the Car's favor; the ultimate irony is that it is Kumiko's father and his friends that also forces Snake Joe to resolve the aftermath of his earlier subterfuge.

When he gave her directions to meet in studio 606, Hayato Kidokoro never predicted that Yuu would misread the memo as studio 909 nor that Yuu would actually find it; if that is not enough, Yuu finds herself back 11 years in time to when Natsume was still gestating her. The Keeper of Time Balibali is overjoyed to have a visitor to interact with; Yuu's affinity for interactive demonstration rather than passive explanation becomes the preamble for all heck to break loose when Yuu emancipates the two time tortoises Piku and Dina which waste no time in wreaking havoc that gives birth to a strange new world borne from the past and future mixing with the present. After a »Get with the program!!!« scolding from Posi and Nega to take responsibility for fixing things, Yuu races off to search for Balibali but is forced to forsake learning the identity of the groom upon finding her future self as a bride because of the dire circumstances when Piku and Dina give chase after the pair not at all keen on having their fun spoiled. It ultimately takes a blast of magic at studio 909 before Yuu successfully subjugates the renegade reptiles and sets things right.

Yuu finds herself learning why the word »assume« is spelled as it is when Toshio gives chase after her for a half kilo-yen bracelet meant as a gift for Creamy Mami; a very vocal intercession from Midori later, Yuu races off to Parthenon Productions where a props stevedore named Takahiro is carrying an awkward payload that includes a ten kilo-yen vase that becomes the primary fatality in the ensuing collision with Creamy Mami who has to perform a talk show in which the vase is to be utilized as a prop; upon having explained the dystopian epilogue of the damaged vase, Mami accompanying Takahiro on his job of cleaning building windows becomes the forum for her to be caught up in the moment and forget about the time while falling in love for the first time. For Yuu, celebrating the discovery of her first love is the last thing on Tetsuo and Natsume's minds as their savage castigation that night instigates the question of why she cannot remain as Creamy Mami forever so that there is no need for all the subterfuge and deception endemic to leading a double life; while normally supportive of Yuu wielding her powers as per her volition, Posi and Nega are astonished at Yuu abruptly rushing off into the night without them to lead Takahiro through a sort of impromptu immersion exercise with the piano. The ironic deus ex machina that helps Takahiro ultimately recover his groove is the very bracelet for which Toshio had body-tackled her earlier; a magical incantation and innovative concert later, Takahiro boards an eastbound airliner as an aspiring pianist.

Toshio pays the peckish Midori a visit to entreat his company to a Creamy Mami concert that gives way to the contest for who gets a date with Mami; for Toshio, Shingo has already polluted the lottery. When Yuu offers it to him as a consolation prize, Toshio laughs at her and suggests that Midori would be better suited for such a thing; while Midori agonizes over what he should do on a date before asking Mamoru for help, Posi picks up on how Yuu is having second thoughts with dating Midori and is in anguish over how she always quarrels with Toshio. Zero hour for the date finds that both Toshio and Mamoru are uneasy about how Midori will do on a date with Yuu; sure enough, the date has barely begun and their anxieties are already proven not unfounded. Midori being quite the gentleman to Yuu who enjoys his company ultimately does not supersede that Yuu would much rather spend time with Toshio because of their prologue together; Midori comes to grips with the fact that the most mileage he will attain with Yuu is the big brother-little sister kind of love.
