Help... Help...

I'm sorry.

"My Amazing Stage Debut!"

My Amazing Stage Debut!

"My Amazing Stage Debut!"

My Amazing Stage Debut!

This is the city where Kaleido Stage is at.

I'm finally here!

I'm going to pass today's audition no matter what

and become a member of Kaleido Stage!

I will! I will! I will!

Now, which way is Kaleido Stage?

Is it this way?

Or this way?

Or this way?

Or this way?

Or this way?!

Or this way?!

Which way is it?!

This is bad. Am I like totally lost?

Oh, there's a newsstand. I'll go ask over there.

Excuse me, is Kaleido Stage...

Kaleido Stage?

Excuse me...

Excuse me...

You've got good, tight muscles!

What are you doing?! You pervert!

What?!

Watch out.

Huh?!

Don't change the subject!

What the heck else should l watch out for, except you?!

Like your suitcase.

It's mine now!

Oh, hey!

It's mine now!

Oh, hey!

Maximum speed!

He pisses me off!

Maximum speed!

He pisses me off!

Stop right there!

Use these!

Thanks!

Damn!

If that's how you're going to be...

Whoops, sorry!

All right, move it, move it, move it, move it! Outta my way!

I'm taking this back!

Why me too?

There are always a lot of runaways in this season.

I didn't run away from home. I just got here from Japan...

From Japan?

I didn't run away from home. I just got here from Japan...

From Japan?

It's rare to see runaways from so far away.

Like I said, I didn't run away from home!

I'm going to be late for the audition! What'll I do?!

At the very least...

Think of how your parents must be worrying...

Oh, please don't mind me.

I'm just doing warm-up exercises.

Don't worry, I'm listening.

I see, you came to audition for Kaleido Stage.

I know I don't look it, but I'm a huge fan of Kaleido Stage.

Oh, please don't mind me.

Easy for you to say.

It's fine, really.

Sora, we can see it now. That's Kaleido Stage.

Really?!

Well, good luck.

Thank you, Mr. Policeman.

Shoot! I'm really late!

So, we will be announcing the results from the judges after the matinee...

Is it here? Or over here?

So, we will be announcing the results from the judges after the matinee...

Or over here?!

So, we will be announcing the results from the judges after the matinee...

Or over here?!

Excuse me...

Oh, thank goodness! This is the place!

Um, who are you?

Sora! My name is Sora Naegino!

I am very sorry for being late.

Oh, the auditions ended just now.

What?!

But I came all this way from Japan for this audition.

What? Really? Okay, then come up on the stage.

Oh, thank you very much...

No.

Oh, thank you very much...

No.

Oh, Miss Layla.

The auditions are over.

Layla Hamilton... It's really her!

Oh, there's a reason for why I was late and...

No matter what happens, a stage production begins on time.

But...

Go home.

I can't just go home like this!

What are you doing?!

Miss Layla!

Please! I absolutely, desperately want to join Kaleido Stage!

Miss Layla!

If Miss Layla says no, then it's no, so...

Come back and try out next year.

I made a promise with my mom and dad

that I would give up if I failed today.

I see...

Ever since I was a child, it's been my dream to perform in Kaleido Stage.

The show is going to start soon.

If you want, you can stay and watch.

What? Is it okay?

That's about all I can do for you right now.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, I'm Ken. Nice to meet you, Sora.

Thank you, Ken!

Did you join because you fell in love with Kaleido Stage too?

I actually wanted to be a cast member, but I have a weak heart.

So, I decided I would provide support from behind the scenes

and got into the management side of things.

I see.

What?

Yuri...

It's really him.

He's so cool!

You think so?

I wish I could have stood on this stage too.

Watch out!

That hurt!

My arm got twisted!

I'm sorry!

No! I won't forgive you!

I told you not to touch the stage sets because it's dangerous.

She's the one that's dangerous!

I can't go on stage now! Call the doctor!

No! No! No!

I guess it can't be helped.

No! No! No!

No means no! No!

No means no! No!

We've got a problem. I need a trampoline cast member right away.

We've got a problem. I need a trampoline cast member right away.

There's no need for that.

We've got a problem. I need a trampoline cast member right away.

There's no need for that.

Hey! What the heck are you doing here?!

Boss...

Boss?!

You fill the spot.

Huh?

What?!

What are you thinking, Boss?

There's no way an amateur can perform in a real show right away.

Is that what she said?

No...

Then this is not for you to interfere in.

This is... my chance!

Or am I in trouble?

Which is it?!

That is up to you to determine.
