Nanami's world is spiraling out of control. Her beloved cat is acting very strange, she no longer connects with her best friend, her teacher's got it in for her, her parents are pressuring her, her fellow cast members still don't accept her, she's weaving a web of lies on a daily basis and she agreed to help a mysterious stranger at what could be a very high cost... Just how far is Nanami willing to go to escape her unpleasant reality and become the beautiful, powerful queen of the Invisible Kingdom?

In this second gripping volume, Nanami grows more comfortable in her role as warrior princess in a parallel world that only appears when she and her fellow actors start rehearsing their play, but the pressure on her is building from all sides: she must fight ever greater threats in the Invisible Kingdom, her parents are on her case, her nemesis at school won't stop pestering her, her best friend feels left out, she's lost the magical book entrusted to her, her cat's gone missing, and a mysterious stranger asks her for a very dangerous and very forbidden favor...

When Nanami, a bored adolescent living life on automatic, finds a strange book that appears to be "inhabited," she tracks down the book's owner only to be introduced to something even stranger: a theatre troupe whose members get projected into a parallel universe during rehearsal. The universe in question is the thrilling and romantic — but dangerous — world in which their play is set and in which wallflower Nanami becomes a warrior princess fighting for her life and her kingdom.

Nanami is trapped. The future of the invisible Kingdom is in her hands, but she is starting to lose her grip on the way that events are unfolding. The fairy tale is turning into a nightmare... A riveting ending to an engrossing tale!

Nanami's life hangs in the balance as her conscious self remains in the invisible kingdom, where various political groups all have different plans for Princess Akata, while back in the real world, her parents stand desperately by the bedside of their comatose daughter. Meanwhile, her friends and teacher try to figure out a way to save her, but unfortunately, the only solution comes with the prospect of putting someone else's life in danger too...
