Volume 4 - 1st printing. Story and art by Kaishaku. Kurumi and her friends try their luck at being idol singers. "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... Shinobu Jinguji! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 172 pages, B&W. Mature Readers NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $9.99.
