Summary
Volume 1: "Tsukimi Kurashita has a strange fascination with jellyfish. She's loved them from a young age and has carried that love with her to her new life in the big city of Tokyo. There, she resides in Amamizukan, a safe-haven for girl geeks who regularly gush over a range of things from trains to Japanese dolls. However, a chance meeting at a pet shop has Tsukimi crossing paths with one of the things that the residents of Amamizukan have been desperately trying to avoid--a beautiful and fashionable woman! But there's much more to this woman than her trendy clothes! This odd encounter is only the beginning of a new and unexpected path for Tsukimi and her friends."--Publisher's description.

But the wily Inari-san and her hold on Shu forces Kuranosuke to pull out all the stops: money, blackmail, and ... fashion?! Though Amamizukan still struggles with Kuranosuke's stylish ways, the neighborhood fashionista has too much to lose, whether it's a hidden identity or priceless friendships. Tsukimi gets the chance to make her jellyfish dreams into a glamorous reality, but that means breaking out of her bubble! Can these misfit princesses save their castle? -- Publisher's description.

Meanwhile, Shu's interest in Tsukimi drives Kuranosuke to confront some feelings he's never dealt with before ..."--Publisher's description.

The show brings some much-needed attention to the tetro building, but will exposure be enough to save the Amars and their home? When their fashion line becomes a hit success, the girls scramble to satisfy their customers.

There's no time to waste if the group wants to save Amamizukan and make a splash in the fashion world, and that means churning out new dresses--and fast! As if Tsukimi weren't already overwhelmed, Shu makes it clear that he's ready to make a romantic commitment to her. For a geek girl who's never even had a boyfriend, these advances may be too much to handle. And Tsukimi isn't the only one struggling--with his brother's feelings out in the open, Kuranosuke must figure out how he fits into Tsukimi's life."--Publisher's description.
