Welcome to the year 4998, where the most important sporting event for humanity has become the athletic competition for the Cosmo Beauty title.
Since only three students from each training school may advance to the University Satellite to compete for this title, we find the midterms are complicated by cut-throat competition between the star athletes, and underhanded deviousness, the sneaky slackards! However, for our heroine, Akari, the real problem is that she just can't fail quietly!
If it wasn't bad enough that the competitions are televised, Akari is also the daughter of the most famous Cosmo Beauty winner ever, Tomoe Mido! When you combine her famous mom with her bad luck, Akari always winds up a focal point in whatever event is going on. Fortunately good friends and constant practice are a sure remedy for bizarre plots and insane athletic competitions, so there may be hope for her yet!
Akari can't handle the pressure! Her mother's record-setting legacy is a crushing burden, so when Akari is humiliated by Jessie in a race, she folds and resigns from school.
However, Itchan refuses to let her friend give up! Can Akari handle the truth when it is thrown in her face?
There can be only three! Nearly 200 girls attend the athletic prep-school with hopes to attend the University Satellite Sports Academy, but with only a trio of openings, the competition is brutal!
Ichi-chan had been training Akari for the final event, the triathlon, but Jessie and Ayla are clear favorites - leaving only one position open! With Ichan gone, Akari flounders and cannot focus on the goal - who will step up to the challenge?
Akari's trip into space to train on the University Satelite Sports Academy is interrupted by three hijackers with very odd tactics.
Then, she meets her roommate who brought a cow from the moon, and her coach who can only eat chocolate to survive! Just as she thinks things can't get any worse, she and her teammates discover that they can't seem to win a single match in the competition - will Akari lose so soon?

The Next Step: Lahrri and Mylandah continue to crush their competition by performing at an athletic level beyond anyone else.
If Akari and Chris want to compete at all, they must train hard to have strong muscles and an even stronger will!

With this new confidence, their skills improve drastically and they experience a resurgence! The winners will face the final event - the 100 meter dash. Who will claim the final crown?
