Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Kaishaku. Steel Angel Kurumi, created by a brilliant scientist, was supposed to have used her super-human strength on behalf of the military. However, Kurumi cannot be activated by her makers, and she lies in the machine equivalent of a coma. Nakahito, the son of practitioners of the magical technique called "Onmyo Way," stumbles upon the inert goddess, and struck by her amazing beauty, gently kisses her perfect lips. With this kiss, the Steel Angel Kurumi comes to life, and Nakahito becomes her master. The gorgeous and voluptuous Kurumi will now do anything to protect her master with her invincible power. But first, critical questions about Kurumi's origins must be answered: "Why and where was Kurumi created? Who created her?" Nakahito and Kurumi set out on a dangerous search to find the answers to these questions and, along their journey, they are forced to ask an additional question: "Who is behind the insidious activation of other Steel Angels whose only mission is to destroy the beautiful Steel Angel Kurumi?"

Now, as the strongest androids in the world descend upon Japan, Kurumi and the gang are faced with some challenges of their own. Karinka is locked in a furious duel with Aoi (Japan's newest Steel Angel), and Kurumi is pursued by a foe that seems to be holding a grudge against her. Meanwhile, Nakahito faces his personal demons, and with his brother's help takes the first steps on a journey of self-discovery.

"Discovered" and "trained" by a mysterious mummy man wearing a suit (Mikhail), they rise to fame with the release of their first record. Unfortunately, their fame only makes them a threat to two envious, established stars, who want to see the "Steel Angel Trio" out of the picture. As the Steel Fight competition nears the end of its first stage, Kurumi, Saki, and Karinka (who are all unaware that the competition is going on) learn that Kaga and two other angels of destruction are impersonating them, using their advanced powers to destroy the normal Steel Angels, snatch their emblems, and give Kurumi the "points." His cover ultimately blown, Kaga reveals that Dr. Ayanokoji is at the Academy, but that the Steel Angel Trio will have to compete in that final round to learn anything more. Finally, a strange girl is scared off during Kurumi's date with Nakahito, a girl, who - in an unexpected turn of events - is revealed to readers (but not the steel angels) as none other than...

In the meantime, the ridiculously cute Kurumi, Saki and Karinka continue their quest to rid their dear, sweet Nakahito of the deadly curse cast against him. But, when the trouble mounts, and an enigmatic and powerful mystic enters the scene, Kurumi gets an idea that may save the day... besides, Kurumi needs attention, and without her master, there's not telling what she will do!

In Storm Fairy, an empress flees her burning castle to the nearby forest where she encounters a mischievous forest fairy who grants her wish, for a seemingly small price.

In "Pink Angel," a sunset cloud named Pink spends an awfully lot of time on the surface helping those who are unhappy or
