  • After looking over Ohjiro's doll Wizard's data, Misaki finds herself meeting up with Oujiro, who spends time with her that day in what appears to be a date. At the same time, Tamayo and Kotaro find themselves trapped in an elevator together. Can they sort out their feelings? Or is this a friendship lost? (en)
  • With the Nationals coming her way, Misaki feels nervous, but a surprise visit from her friends changes all that. Oujiro's gift to her makes Kotaro jealous as Misaki's mother struggles to bring herself to visit her daughter. On top of all that, Misaki learns that she must choose a Second, an advisor for the game, to participate with her in the Nationals. Hatoko wishes to be that person badly, but does she have a chance with so many people asking Misaki? (en)
  • The Fujisaki Sisters are pretty popular in the Layer, but they have a personal grudge against Hatoko and Suzuka, each vowing not to lose at any cost until they face her again in the Layer. Nervous about Hikaru's progression, Arisu plants a device on Hikaru that cuts her off from Misaki now and again, causing her to freeze up and falter on the Layer. (en)
  • For Misaki and Hikaru's first match, they must battle against Chitose Tanaka and her Angel Elain; Chitose is taller than most girls, as is her Angel, and she feels self-conscious about it, and is angry at Misaki, feeling that she is getting all the breaks because she is so small. A storm brews outside, and coupled with Elain's space-warping Hexigonal Revision technique, threatens to short out the Layer right from under both Angels. (en)
  • The next battle pits Sai and Hatoko's Angels, Shirahime and Suzuka, in a duel of veterans. After a tense showdown, the winner is declared to be, by one point, Shirahime. Heartbroken that she failed to keep her end of the promise and experiencing true loss for the very first time, Hatoko cries on Misaki's shoulder as she promises to win against Sai for her. But Sai is not impressed, stating that she has her weak point all figured out and that someone so small has no hope of winning. (en)
  • Misaki and Hikaru are on a winning streak, impressing many at her school, but Hatoko tells her that she won't get any farther if she continues to fight the way that she is. When Misaki and Hatoko square off in the Layer, Suzuka is out to test Hikaru's true worth as well as Misaki's. (en)
  • The Regional Tournament has arrived and Misaki learns that, not only is she fighting against pop singer Ringo Seto, but she can't afford to lose just once or she'll be out of the Tournament for good. To make things much more difficult, Ringo's Angel Ranga has a special attack, the Dance of Death, that threatens to blow Hikaru right out of the Layer. (en)
  • Misaki enjoys playing Angelic Layer and she loves Hikaru with all her heart, but when she goes up against the Power-type Vasquez, her confidence and self-esteem falters and has Hikaru engage in the "hit and run" technique during battle, winning by a sheer stroke of luck. This angers Hatoko, who claims that Misaki has stopped believing in Hikaru and in herself. (en)
  • As she aids Hikaru in fighting off the effects of Arisu's cheat device, Misaki shows Madoka and Mao that Angelic Layer is not about competing or holding grudges, but about having fun, plain and simple. Oujiro comes to the rescue and Hikaru wins, securing a slot in the Semis. But fellow Deus and finalist Sai Jounouchi claims to have figured out Hikaru's weakness. (en)
  • The Nationals are here, and Misaki and Hatoko get a chance to see Athena, the white Angel that inspired Misaki to play Angelic Layer. With this bit of inspiration under her belt, both girls are ready to take on the National Tournament by storm. (en)
  • Icchan takes Shuko to an amusement park to try and sort out his feelings, and afterwards the match between Shirahime and Athena, but Shuko is having mixed feelings on whether she should win or not because if she does she will have to face Misaki. Will Shuko decide to overcome her fear and face Misaki or will she throw the match and keep running away? (en)
  • An exhibition game for a new Angel model is launched during the Tournament and Hikaru is the one who must fight her. But with Hatoko falling ill, Oujiro steps in to take over, but the shocks do not end there as Misaki discovers Icchan's true identity. Can she focus in time to win the match? Or is Hikaru no match for the new model's sharper movements? (en)
  • Misaki learns more about Angelic Layer and even partakes in a competition battle herself, though by accident. She also meets fellow classmates Kotaro Kobayashi and Tamayo Kizaki as well as fellow and famous Deus Hatoko Kobayashi. (en)
  • The Semis have arrived and so has the creation of the Environmental Layers, Layers that simulate terrain for more amazing battle opportunities. As Misaki and Kaede's Angels, Hikaru and Blanche, square off, it soon becomes obvious that Misaki's concentration is off; her mother promised to come, but she is nowhere in sight. Turns out that Shuuko was too scared to face her daughter and refused to come, leaving Misaki in a pickle as she discovers Blanche's secret. (en)
  • Misaki receives more instruction from Icchan in terms of controlling Hikari and practices with Ohjiro Mihara later. Engaged in an unfair pick-up battle soon after, she applies those lessons and earns, not only an Angel Card, but a place in the Angelic Layer Tournament this year. (en)
  • Misaki's first official Tournament begins as she faces off with Angel Katalina, an Angel that uses ice skates to incorporate into her special attacks. We also get to see Hatoko's famous Angel, Lightspeed Suzuka, in action. (en)
  • Blanche's Hyper Mode gives her more strength and speed than any other Angel that Misaki has come across and she is not giving Hikaru much of a chance. Just when it seems that all hope is lost, Misaki realizes that, not only are her friends and fans counting on her, but Hikaru is too. Will it be enough to help her win the match? (en)
  • Misaki has qualified for the regional Tournament and could not be more excited, but a fellow classmate that shares her first name does not believe that she's so good at her game and challenges her to a three-round match. Feeling unsure of herself still in terms of whether or not she can make it in the Regional Tournament, Misaki finds comfort in Ringo Seto's words and feels prepared for the Regionals at last. (en)
  • In order to help Misaki prepare for the Semis, Kotaro offers to take her to his dojo to show her some moves. However, as Tamayo crashes the party, it soon becomes obvious that Tamayo may be hiding her true feelings from her childhood friend. (en)
  • Summer break lands Misaki and her friends at the beach where they run into Icchan and his friends. Misaki and Oujiro spend time together as Tamayo finally admits her true feelings to Kotaro. (en)
  • Upset and confused about the fact that Shu is really her mother Misaki runs away. Shuko desperately tries to find her daughter but even if she does will they be able to work things out and have the mother-daughter relationship they both desperately want, or will they be unable to understand each other and grow even further apart? (en)
  • The National Semis are here and it's Hikaru vs. Wizard. His Magic Guard seems impenetrable and Hikaru cannot get a hit in edgewise. It is going to take all of Misaki's skill to get her Angel out of this one as Oujiro struggles with his own feelings about Misaki and his first love: her mother. (en)
  • The Regional Finals are here and Misaki is out to fulfill her promise to Hatoko. But can she? Hikaru's attacks have no effect and the simplest of hits she takes from Shirahime takes chunks out of her HP. Misaki is not the only one with a promise, Sai wanting to become stronger in memory of her sister, but which ambition will win out in the end? (en)
  • It's finally time for ultimate battle of Athena vs Hikaru, Mother vs Daughter. Who will claim victory in this epic battle of the ages? (en)
  • Her devastating loss against Suzuka has left Misaki afraid to enter the heat of battle again, fearing for Hikaru's safety. However, while fighting against Maria, a girl who believes that her Angel Tsubaki is all that she has in life, Misaki realizes that Hatoko meant no harm at all and that Angelic Layer is meant to be fun.
