The class is putting on a production of Romeo and Juliet, with bossy class representative Manabe as the director. Chocolat thinks the world would be better if everyone was as honest about their feelings as she and Manabe are, so she orders a magical "lipstick of truth" from a catalogue. On opening day the girl playing Juliet comes down with a fever, and Manabe is the only one who knows the lines well enough to replace her. But she's too nervous about pretending to love Romeo, when she really does love the boy playing him! Chocolat uses the lipstick on Manabe, who finally confesses her feelings.
