[edit] Summary
Shima Yoshitsune and Suruga Kaori are "Anything Inc.", an all-purpose person company. They rely on each other greatly: Kaori depending on Shima because he is afraid that his other personality, Kyo, will eventually take over, and Shima on Kaori, because Kaori's smile reminds him of his father's. Shima and Karoi first meet in Vol 1 when they were trying to track down Kaori's stalker. In this case Shima had to cross-dress to a girl as find and stop Kaori's stalker (also known as "Mr. Snowman")
[edit] Characters
- Shima Yoshitsune- An 18-year old "midget", the boss of Anything Inc. His parents died two years before the storyline in a fire caused by an arsonist. To this day, he is still terrified of fire, nearly fainting at the sight of smoke. He also seems to be very talented at cross dressing as a girl.
- Suruga Kaori- A 16-year old model and Shima's best friend. They work well together, and Kaori depends a lot on Shima. When around Shima, his other personality, Kyo, doesn't get out as much. He created Kyo to get away from the pressures of the modeling world, but he is afraid that Kyo will eventually take over completely and Kaori will no longer exist. He is also said to be the most handsome member of the cast.
- App- His name stands for "All Purpose Person" and Shima considers him to be his rival. He, like Kaori, also has a dual personality, Hyuga Shuhei. Shuhei is only App when he has his wig on. He is engaged to Hotori, the girl who asked for Anything Inc.'s help in Ch. 3. It has been noted that Kaori and App look similar.
- Mai- A young school girl that shows up in volume 4, chapter 'Avenging Angels'. Otherwise known as 'Repo-girl' Mai, like App and Shima, is the boss of another 'anything agency' and specializes in beating up bad boyfriends. She gets paid with homework. She also mentions that she knows Kaori from somewhere, but they both can't remember the meeting.
