"Angel's Kiss") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hinako Ashihara.

[4][5] Tokyopop licensed the manga for an English-language release in North America and published four volumes from August 2003 to March 2004.

[8][9] Aya Fujii is a high school student who eats, sleeps and breathes ballet, but an accident during the National Competition causes an ankle injury for her that left her unable to dance for nearly a year.

It isn't until she is invited to watch the performance of a small ballet troupe, called COOL, that Aya comes out of her funk.

Aya herself is not left out of the character development, as she refines her ballet technique and matures emotionally throughout the narrative.
