Despite her fame and her career, eccentric 11-year-old child actress Sana Kurata lives an almost normal life with her even-more-eccentric author mother, Misako Kurata, and her manager Rei Sagami. She even attends a public school, where she has many friends. But in school she comes into conflict with sullen, laconic Akito Hayama, de facto leader of the boys in her classroom.
 
Akito holds some secret blackmail on two of the teachers, allowing him to get away with a great deal of misbehavior -- something which enrages Sana, especially when it disrupts the class. She vows to defeat Akito, and restore peace to the school. After several failures, she succeeds in beating Akito at his own game, but her victory over him is just the beginning of a surprising evolution of her relationship with the quiet, angry-seeming boy, as she discovers ''why'' is he so angry and starts trying to fix it...
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
*** {{spoiler|However, it wasn't '''his''' first kiss. That one was with Fuuka.}}
*** {{spoiler|For a BET!}}
* [[Forgot I Couldn't Swim]]:: Early in the series, Sana challenges Akito to a bungee contest, since she knows that he's afraid of heights. Meanwhile, she forgets that although she loves high places, she ''has no idea how she'll react to falling from them'' — as it turns out, with abject screaming horror. This is in character.
* [[Gecko Ending]]: The anime adds an entire "America" Arc, where Sana {{spoiler|goes to America with Naozumi for an acting gig and runs into an American version of Akito}}.
* [[Gene Hunting]]: An early major story arc involves Sana and her mother's hunt for her birth mother.
Line 102 ⟶ 104:
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Mr. Sengoku. He goes so far as to take Akito aside and punch him in the stomach, then getting him suspended when he fought back. In the Manga, {{spoiler|after Akito loses function in his right hand, Sengoku forces Akito to write a sentence on the chalkboard with his left hand. This pisses Sana off so much she goes and yells at Mr. Sengoku after class.}}
* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Sana becomes ''very'' brokenhearted when she hears that Akito is dating someone else. When someone explains the obvious, she tries to rationalize it away one last time.
* [[Sex as Rite-Ofof-Passage]]: Sana and Akito wanted to do this before {{spoiler|he was sent overseas}}, but {{spoiler|Sana proved to be too ticklish and the mood was ruined. Plus Rei and Misako barge in before anything else can happen}}. She gets an earful from her mother about what a bad idea this was.
* [[Shojo]]
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Also called ''Kodomo no Omocha'', it's actually based on a real Japanese TV show that sits 30 kids in a simulated schoolroom with a standup comedian as the "teacher"/emcee.
