Line 10:

In 2009 it was announced that an OVA of ''[[Black★Rock Shooter (band)|Black★Rock Shooter]]'' would be made based on an original story created by huke.

An attempt to become friends with her ends up into a nasty run-in with [[Creepy Child]] Kagari Izuriha, who seems to be obsessed with Yomi to [[Yandere]] levels.
