Sokora Refugees

Kana hasn’t done her homework, hasn’t studied for the big test, hasn’t had any luck with boys, and well, a pancake has more curves than she does. When the new kid is seated behind her, Kana thinks it can’t get much worse. The new kid is such a geek, and now she’s stuck next to him! Will his geeky essence rub off on her? Unfortunately for Kana, the new kid is really an elf in disguise, and when he mistakes her for one of his kind, Kana is transported to his world, Sokora, in order to help save the world of the elves from an evil, dark prince and hordes of killer bees. When Kana finally returns home, Veila, a powerful (and sexy) elf sorceress, stows away inside Kana’s body. As if being flat-chested and nicknamed “No-Cans” wasn’t humiliating enough, whenever Kana blushes (and she blushes a lot, particularly at school) she is transformed from skinny schoolgirl to startingly buxom Veila, whose own assets can barely be contained inside the school uniform. Soon, Kana and her schoolmates are traveling back and forth between worlds in order to fight for the elves’ freedom, and to figure out a way to restore Kana to her normal, less-burdened condition.
