Taking on the form of a doll given to her by Yakeppachi's father, the ectoplasm Maria begins to go to school with Yakeppachi.

Another enemy of the pair is Yukisugi Midori, girl leader of the "Group of Tateyoko," who is offended by the fact that Maria is popular with the boys, and tries to attack with the intent to hurt her...
