Mana was playing a dating sim.
"Oh Mori..." Mana said, then blushed.
She finished the game and laid back on the bed.
"How can I make the Host Clubs better for my Mori?" Mana laid back.
She picked up her manga, and after a while of reading, had the answer.
"I'll be the manager!" Mana said.

A week later a film crew was on site doing a movie on their characters.
Hikaru and Kaoru were hard at work pulling off athletic characters.
Ava was the shy but demure ice skating champion who pined after Kaoru.
Billie was the tomboy who was secretly a romantic, hiding romance novels and hoping her beloved Hikaru never discovered her true nature.
Tamaki, as the lonely prince, spurned the advances of Kuri, the seductive miko, as he believed he could never be loved.
"One injured heart intersects with another. They pass each other, and wound each other. What are the hearts of these young people made of?" Mana said.
"You can't run away any longer. You're going to learn what happens when you go against me." Honey said.
"Don't, Mitsukuni. Every time you hurt others, you're the one who ends up being hurt." Mori said.
"Don't try to give me any advice, Takashi. You want me to put you over my knee again?" Honey said.
"It isn't as if we can go against the great Mana, our boss and Queen." Mori looked like he wanted to roll his eyes.
"Will it be the light of salvation that ultimately awaits them? Or something else?" Mana said.
"I hate it when people try to rise above their own station in life." Honey said. "Kiana-chan, I'm sorry! I really can't do this!"
"Cut! Cut! Cut! Cut! You there! Stick to the script!" Mana said.
"But I..." Honey said.
"Cameraman, hold up for now!" Mana said.
"Yes, boss." Cameraman said.
"Make the rain more heartrending!" Mana said.
"Why have we suddenly gone from talking about changing our characters into a movie shoot? And I have to say, it's an overblown film crew, huh?" Billie said.
"Apparently, she rushed them here from Hollywood." Hikaru said.
"Haven't you ever seen them? That man is the director of "Twilight," the vampire movie that was the number-one box-office hit across America last year." Kaoru said.
"Damn her..." Ava said.
"Kuri...How was my performance?" Tamaki said.
"It was awesome, in one sense of the word, at least insofar as how you're able to be so enraptured by this." Kuri said.
"I've discovered a whole new facet of myself. It's not that bad an idea to go down this road for a little while." Tamaki said.
"Are you sure? Brother, I think you're fine just the way you are." Reiko said.
"R-Really? Hmm, if you say so..." Tamaki said.
"If this guy gets a darker side, he'll just be that much more trouble." Kuri thought.
"Reiko-chan! You're on!" Mana said.
"Okay!" Reiko said.
"Over here! I've just asked these two gentlemen to make a special appearance." Mana said.
"Appearance? What are you talking about?" Reiko said.
"We're going to need some villains for the big climax, after all." Mana said. "The jumble of club members unite, to battle some true bad guy characters. According to my notes, while these two may be from a wealthy family, they are actually sons of members of the Japanese Mafia. These truly are ideal parts for you."
"What's with this girl?" Guy said.
"Whatever my dad may be, it's got nothing to do with me!" Guy said.
"Hold on, Mana-chan..." Reiko said.
"Okay, just stand by over here." Mana said.
"Just a minute here..." Guy said.
"You think you can push us around however you want to? Come off it!" Guy said.
"Look out!" Reiko said.
"Rei-chan! Are you okay?!" Mana said.
"Those boys are right. Mana-chan, if you judge people by stereotypes, you won't ever be able to see what's really important." Reiko said.
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean." Mana said.
"Sister! What happened?!" Tamaki said. "Which one of you started this?"
"W-Wait, Suou! She's the one who started giving us a hard time!" Guy said.
"It's true, Brother. These boys aren't at fault." Reiko said.
"Run away!" They said.
"Reiko... does it hurt?" Tamaki said.
"Yes...It's my contact." Reiko said.
"Huh? Your con... tact?" Tamaki said.
"Yeah. It slipped out." Reiko said.
"Oh, so that's it!" Tamaki said.
"Cameraman, did you catch that?!" Mana said.
"Yes, boss!" Cameraman said.
"Except for the contact falling out, that was the ideal last scene! All it needs now is for me to provide some moving narration." Mana said.
Kyoya broke the camera.
"No! My camera!" Cameraman said.
Reiko grinned.
"Kyoya!" Mana said.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow there to be any record of a club member engaging in violence. I am extremely displeased at the way you're acting like such a pest." Kyoya said.
"He's right, Mana." Mori said. "What your doing...it's wrong."
"Why? Mori, you're supposed to tell me not to worry about it, and then gently pat me on the head! Why would someone as kind and affectionate as you..." Mana said.
"That's not who Mori is." Tamaki said.
"It doesn't matter, does it? Even if Mori is a little different from what you expected, Mana, I think that watching people, and slowly, little by little, getting to know them, can be fun, too." Kuri said.
Mana looked up at Mori, who smiled and took her by the hand, and helped her to her feet
