Ultimate Venus, Volume 5

When her mother dies, the newly orphaned Yuzu can't find a job and winds up living on a playground. But when a mysterious stranger named Hassaku turns up and tells her she's an heiress, Yuzu goes from playground to palace. She quickly discovers there's more to the high life than pomp and circumstance. Rival factions, shifting loyalties, and a bevy of determined suitors — or are they fortune hunters? — ensure that Yuzu's new life is anything but serene. In this episode, Yuzu and her trusted bodyguard Iyo take off for a much-needed vacation. Events take an unexpected turn, and by the end of the trip Iyo declares that he can no longer guard her. Between the unexpected loss of Iyo and suddenly encountering the truth about her mother's former fiance, Yuzu's world threatens to collapse around her. Gorgeous artwork, a glamorous storyline, and hilarious antics enliven this delightful romantic comedy.
