Seasons & Episode
Momoko leads a normal young girl's life, living happily with her father, a professional photographer, attending school with her friends, Yuri and Hinagiku, and sharing dreams of love involving the star soccer team captain, Yanagiba. However, Momoko's life is turned upside down when a devil named Pluie appears and attempts to steal Momoko's ring, a memento from her deceased mother. Help arrives in the form of an angel named Limone, who gives Momoko a magical compact, the Saint Miroir, which grants Momoko the power to transform into the Love Angel, Wedding Peach.
After returning to the devil world, Pluie reports to Queen Raindevila that he may have found a piece of the "Saint Something Four" in the human world and pledges to obtain it without fail. As for Momoko, she’s already having a bad day when devils put her classmates into a deep sleep. She transforms into Wedding Peach and also learns to transform into a Fighter Angel. Her attack sends the devils off in retreat, but she is left wondering, what exactly is the Saint Something Four?
Momoko and Hinagiku visit Yuri's home, where Yuri's mother, a successful wedding dress designer, is preparing for a fashion show. Mistaking the wedding gowns for the Saint Something Four, Pluie and Jama-P destroy the entire collection during the night. The next day, Yuri's mother, under a devil's spell, attacks Yuri. This awakens Love Angel Lily from within Yuri and together with Wedding Peach they send the devils on their way.
A shy classmate asks Momoko to deliver a love letter on her behalf to none other than Fuuma Yousuke. Later, after Momoko hands the letter to Yousuke, Jama-P launches an attack, but Wedding Peach is able to saturate Jama-P with love waves, defeating him. Angered by Jama-P's failure, Pluie arrives and begins to punish Jama-P. However, Peach intervenes and attempts to protect the purified Jama-P. Yuri senses that Peach is in danger and together with Hinagiku they come to the rescue. After the battle, Pluie retreats, but Jama-P is nowhere to be found.
Students at Saint Hanazono are falling into deep slumber for days and no one has been able to wake them. Suspicious, the Love Angels begin to investigate, but are too late to prevent the devil Pajama from putting Momoko into a dangerous sleep that will deplete her energy until she dies. According to Jama-P, a kiss from her true love is the only way to save her. While Yuri and Hinagiku seek out Yanagiba and hope to convince him to kiss Momoko, Jama-P decides to take a chance on someone else entirely.
The "Something Four" is explained when idol actress Miyagawa Erika holds a press conference prior to her wedding. The devils mistake Erika's something four for the magical angel world relics, the "Saint Something Four," and cause her to abruptly call off the wedding and disappear. The Love Angels head out to search for her. Jama-P is able to sense the presence of the devil Ohima, who has the power to make people sleepy and lazy. Limone descends to assist the Love Angels and Aphrodite tells the tale of the "Saint Something Four."
Other school clubs try to lure Hinagiku and Yuri away from the newspaper club, leaving Momoko to handle things on her own. As a result, the power of their friendship weakens to the point where they are unable to transform into Love Angels. Perplexed and saddened, Jama-P tries to get the Love Angels back on track, but will they be able to reconcile in time to save the world from the devils Pluie and Sacchima?
It's déjà vu when Hinagiku’s Saint Pendule watch starts behaving very strangely. The entire Saint Hanazono campus is buzzing in preparation for the school anniversary celebration, but Hinagiku seems to have jumped a day ahead and then experiences the same day twice. Watching the soccer team buy out all of the pork cutlet sandwiches again during lunch is the least of her problems. She and the other Love Angels must somehow break the cycle and defeat the slippery time-stealing devil Tanma.
The money-grubbing devil Aquelda convinces Raindevila to allow her to go to the human world in search of the Saint Something Four. Meanwhile, the Love Angels have their fortunes told by their fellow student, Reiko, whose predictions are uncannily accurate. Momoko convinces Reiko to have her own fortune told by a pro, but unfortunately the medium they consult is Aquelda in disguise. Possessed by the devil Nanma, Reiko begins destroying happy couples everywhere in order to draw out the Love Angels.
Pluie and Aquelda band together and manage to steal Momoko's ring. Momoko is crestfallen, but then her father confesses that her mother is in fact still alive although her whereabouts are a mystery. Yousuke makes a special effort to cheer up Momoko, and to express her appreciation she joins him in detention after school. They are interrupted by the devils' attack. There's no time for Momoko to contemplate the strange energy wave coming from Yousuke, however, as she and the Love Angels have their hands full battling the devils.
There seem to be more questions than answers. Pluie reports to Raindevila that a powerful wave came from a human and teams up with the devil Nocturne in order to investigate. Momoko is still overset by the mysteries surrounding her mother and the lost ring, and Yousuke suspects that Momoko and her friends are involved in something serious. Pluie kidnaps Yousuke and holds him captive in the devils' forest. The Love Angels, with Jama-P's help, embark on a dangerous rescue attempt.
Yousuke's life hangs in the balance as the Love Angels and Jama-P continue their rescue efforts. Fighting on the devils' home turf, this confrontation with Pluie may prove to be the Love Angels' most challenging one yet. On top of it all, Wedding Peach's secret identity may have been compromised. When cruel Queen Raindevila tries to send Pluie into the Vortex of Destruction, Peach attempts to save him, but will she only end up sacrificing herself in the process?
More devils are searching for the Saint Something Four: the devil Sandra and his three recruits, Noise, Blitz, and Cloud. While Momoko is serving detention cleaning the library, Yuri and Hinagiku visit her and stumble upon a town almanac that describes a mysterious light shower that occurred 100 years ago. Could this event have had something to do with the Saint Something Four? The new devils are ruthless in their quest but lack teamwork and the Love Angels are able to drive them away for the time being. Unfortunately for Momoko, her attempts to clean the library were in vain as it now looks even worse than when she started as a result of the battle.
Noise’s search for the Saint Something Four leads her to Yousuke. When Noise takes the small bell that Yousuke's father left him to the devil world, Lord Sandra determines that Yousuke's bell is not one of the Saint Something Four and berates Noise for her failure. In retaliation, Noise returns to the human world and takes her anger out on Yousuke. Peach struggles to save him but during the battle Yousuke's bell serves as a catalyst that awakens the first item of the Saint Something Four in Peach’s ring, the Something Old. With her new powers, Peach is able to repel Noise.
The newspaper club hosts a traditional test of courage one summer evening for the Saint Hanazono students. The fun takes a serious turn when students start disappearing, thanks to the devil Blitz. Yuri is magically guided to another item of the Saint Something Four, the Something Blue earrings, but before Yuri can catch her breath, Blitz snatches them up. The night heats up in battle, and although Blitz proves to be a difficult opponent for the Love Angels, Lily manages to recover the Something Blue and access her new powers.
Yuri's mother is preparing for another fashion show, this time at a seaside villa. One of the models, Saori, befriends Hinagiku and becomes somewhat like an older sister. When Hinagiku has a crisis, Saori gives her a much-needed pep talk and the "permanent loan" of her pendant. During one of the devil Cloud's attacks, Daisy is able to awaken another piece of the Saint Something Four, the pendant Something Borrowed. With the help of Daisy's new powers, the Love Angels successfully defeat Cloud.
Gentle and ladylike Yuri starts hanging out on the streets with a rough group of girls and is evasive when her friends ask about it. Eventually the truth comes out and Yuri explains that she is trying to help her old friend, Hitomi, who seems to have lost her way in life after the death of her older sister. Yuri orchestrates an elaborate production with her friends in an attempt to get Hitomi out of her rut, but the devil Sandra finally decides to make an appearance in the human world and attacks Hitomi before things can get started. Fortunately for Yuri, when you're a Love Angel, sometimes miracles happen.
Hinagiku secretly tricks Yanagiba into going on a shopping date with her. At the public library, Momoko and Yuri accidentally lose Jama-P, who is mistaken for a stuffed toy and taken by a little girl. Unfortunately for all concerned, the devil Sandra is tracking Jama-P in order to get to the Love Angels. Sandra has plenty of dirty tricks up his sleeve, but Jama-P is able to get the Love Angels out of a pinch and they finally manage to take care of Sandra for good.
Coerced into a devil's contract, Takuro continues his relentless pursuit of Momoko and flaunting the extraordinary new skills that Igneous is magically granting him. Hinagiku, who has known Takuro since childhood, becomes suspicious of the sudden changes, but the most pressing question is, who is Yanagiba taking to the school dance? Igneous makes another ineffective strike on the Love Angels by sending the devil Blackie.
Igneous gets serious and sends out the devil Tarashi, who is able to see into a woman’s heart and transform into the object of her affection in order to deplete her love wave with a kiss. The victims are piling up, and Momoko’s life becomes even more troublesome when Takuro discovers her secret identity as Wedding Peach and uses the knowledge to blackmail her into going out on a date with him. When the Love Angels finally catch up to Tarashi, they are barely able to counter his truly frightening attacks. Fortunately, they succeed, and women’s lips everywhere are safe once again.
Igneous comes up with a scheme to help Takuro get a kiss from Momoko while Yuri and Hinagiku develop a strategy of their own to get Momoko and Yousuke together. The Love Angels end up facing the devil Ryuck, whose deceptively innocent appearance hides some surprisingly effective tricks. Ryuck succeeds in immobilizing the Love Angels and begins extracting their love waves, but in a strange coincidence, Yousuke’s bell again manages to trigger the appearance another piece of the Saint Something Four. The Something New tiara briefly appears, but immediately flies away.
Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku volunteer at a nursery school for a day but things are not what they expected in more ways than one. Yanagiba appears at the nursery school to pay a special visit to the teacher, Reiko, and the three girls jump to all sorts of conclusions.
Yousuke asks the newspaper club to help him play matchmaker and get his fellow teammate, Tajima, together with classmate Takeuchi Akiko. Momoko kicks off the plan by taking Akiko for a confidence-boosting makeover. Takuro, who has continued stalking Momoko, mistakes Akiko for a Love Angel and reports back to Igneous. Yousuke and Momoko stage a chance meeting that results in an impromptu double date. Things seem to be working nicely until Igneous spoils the mood by summoning the devil Wolfen. Despite the odds, the Love Angels manage to defeat the devils and make their matchmaking efforts pay off.
Takuro's life becomes even more complicated with the arrival of the devil Potamos, who has been sent to help Igneous search for the Love Angels and the Saint Something Four. When Potamos invites herself to a Halloween party at the nursery school and puts everyone in danger, Takuro is forced to take drastic measures.
Takuro becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his devil’s contract with Igneous and the suspicious Love Angels begin investigating Takuro in earnest. Igneous discovers the true identities of the three Love Angels and attempts to destroy them, but he is no match for Peach’s Saint Crystal. Potamos, who has idolized Igneous until now, takes matters into her own hands. Takuro confesses his involvement with the devils to Hinagiku.
Potamos infiltrates Saint Hanazono Middle School by transforming herself into a human. As the transfer student Kawanami Hiromi, she wastes no time endearing herself to the boys, but is strangely attracted to Yousuke in particular. When Hiromi declares herself the manager of the soccer team, Momoko is forced to sit on the sidelines and watch the new girl put the moves on Yousuke. To make matters worse, Potamos has called upon the devil Shimoshimo to freeze happy couples in chunks of ice.
Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku decide to knit mufflers for Yanagiba. When a group of girls gathers together to knit after school, Potamos becomes envious and calls upon the devil Fusuma, who creates a portal in the classroom that traps the other students in an endless labyrinth of linked dimensions. In order to rescue their classmates, Momoko and Yuri sacrifice their knitting projects. The devils interfere with the rescue, and the Love Angels have a close call.
When Yousuke is injured, Momoko takes him to the nurse’s office and Potamos goes on another jealous rampage, blanketing the school in evil waves. During the battle that ensues, a giant devil insect poisons Lily. Limone descends and attends to Lily’s wound, which triggers repressed memories from the past. The devil waves are removed, thanks to the Love Angels, but unbeknownst to them, Limone has a secret identity of his own.
Hiromi invites herself over to Momoko’s house in order to persuade Momoko to bring her to Yousuke’s place. Things don’t seem to go Hiromi’s way, however, so she calls upon the hideous devil marionette, Rioma, to control Yousuke as she likes. Jama-P catches Rioma in the act, and the Love Angels engage the evil puppet in battle. Things start looking grim when Rioma manages to take control of Lily and Daisy and they are forced to attack Peach.
Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku secretly follow the soccer team to their training retreat at a hot springs resort. Hiromi latches on to Yousuke, but when he refuses to kiss her, Potamos loses control. Yousuke’s unique energy wave protects him to a certain extent, but Potamos is in rare form and the Love Angels seem to be floundering as they dodge the devil Tamatama’s bombs. Luckily, the Something New tiara reappears along with the fourth Love Angel, Salvia.
Raindevila questions Potamos’ ability to perform her duties and secretly sends the devil Brani to the human world. Hiromi continues to cling to Yousuke. When Jama-P senses a new evil wave, he leads the Love Angels toward it and they find Salvia battling Brani. Peach, Lily, and Daisy are shocked when Salvia refuses their assistance and insists on destroying devils rather than purifying them. After Peach defeats Brani, Salvia stalks off alone. The other three Love Angels resolve to make friends with Salvia somehow.
Momoko, Yuri, and Hinagiku visit the school that Angel Salvia attends and learn that her name is Scarlet. Their conversation does not go smoothly, but Momoko is persistent. Hinagiku goads Hiromi into another fit of rage, and Potamos creates a snowstorm that freezes the soccer team. Salvia tries to take on the devil Yukidaruma alone, but this only makes matters worse. Peach manages to turn Salvia around, which allows the Love Angels to unleash the power of the Saint Something Four.
Hiromi corners Yousuke, demanding a kiss and a promise of marriage from him, but he tells her that he likes someone else. Unable to accept the rejection, Potamos goes berserk and tries to send the entire Saint Hanazono campus to the devil world. Raindevila sends a continuous stream of devils not only to stop the Love Angels but also to eliminate Potamos. One way or another, the Love Angels must keep everyone from sinking into oblivion.
Raindevila releases the brutal devil Petora from his prison of stone and sends him to the human world, where he masquerades as a new teacher at Saint Hanazono. Along with his devil henchman Hanma, Petora manages to hypnotize the principal and cancel winter vacation. Upon Scarlet's suggestion, the newspaper club decides to launch a protest through their reporting, but first something must be done about Hanma's spell that has the entire student body attacking the Love Angels.
Petora, continuing in his guise as Counselor Iwamoto, institutes absurd school rules with his new henchman, Sojiki, by his side. When Limone, Jama-P, and the Love Angels take them on in battle, they end up getting sucked into a minus energy wave dimension. Limone conjures a barrier to protect the Love Angels, but is overcome by Sojiki's attacks. All seems lost until the Saint Something Four manifests itself on its own, defeating Sojiki. As a result of his injuries, Limone's secret identity is revealed to the Love Angels.
Momoko, Yuri, Hinagiku, Yousuke, and Takuro go on a skiing trip. Petora follows them and summons the devil Hengema in order to anger the students, creating bad energy that can be harvested to provide more strength to Petora. When Hengema tries to collect the energy from Yousuke, something quite strange happens. Jama-P is able to sniff out Hengema and alert the Love Angels, but the battle does not go well. To everyone's surprise, Takuro has inherited some powers from Igneous that help the Love Angels get out of a tight spot.
Yousuke, having seen the Love Angels transform, confronts Momoko and demands answers. Raindevila makes Yousuke her objective and tries to accelerate the changes that are occurring in him by sending the devil Kachusha to the human world. The Love Angels discover that Limone is still alive as his alter-ego, but he has lost his memory of being an angel. Raindevila relates her version of events regarding the Saint Something Four and the Love Angels are challenged by a fearsome new devil.
One night Momoko's mother appears in Momoko's bedroom to explain that she is the angel Celeste and has been away for so long because she has been defending the angel world. Aphrodite grants Celeste the day off so that she may spend time with her family. As the day comes to a close, Momoko tries to give her parents a moment alone to say their goodbyes and chances upon Yousuke. They are interrupted when Kachusha once again injects Yousuke with evil energy and his shocking transformation takes place before Momoko's eyes.
The shock of finding out Yousuke's true identity keeps Momoko home in bed. Yuri and Hinagiku learn that their school newspaper has won an award, but the good news is of little comfort. Scarlet is firm in her belief that the devil Viento should be destroyed, which creates a rift with the other Love Angels. On top of it all, Yousuke seems to have no knowledge or memory of who he becomes when he transforms. Kachusha comes for Yousuke at the newspaper awards ceremony and gets the upper hand when the Love Angels begin fighting among themselves, triggering another of Yousuke's transformations. Fortunately Peach arrives on the scene and defeats Kachusha.
Yousuke recalls recent events and wonders who he really is while the other Love Angels try to convince Momoko to give up on him. Naturally, she refuses. Raindevila appears before Yousuke again and gives him another blast of evil energy, causing him to transform. When Viento attacks Momoko, the other Love Angels leap to her aid, but this time their usual defenses have no effect and Viento seizes their Saint Somethings. It takes nearly all of Peach's strength to expel the evil energy from Viento and retrieve the Saint Somethings, but this has unintended results. Although Yousuke has returned to his normal form, he is now aware that he is a devil.
Haunted by the knowledge that he is a devil, Yousuke isolates himself. Raindevila commands the devils Hatred, Odio, Jura, and Oros to bring Viento back to the devil world. When Lily, Daisy, and Salvia find themselves outnumbered in battle, Yousuke's bell rings, warning him that something is going down. Upon arriving at the battle scene he overhears that these four devils were responsible for killing his father. Viento attacks the devils relentlessly. Peach defeats Jura with the Saint Crystal, but the other three devils manage to escape. Viento leaves in a fit of self-loathing, more troubled than before.
The three devils Odio, Oros, and Hatred make another attempt to retrieve Viento. Weakened in battle, Momoko gives Yousuke a chance to recover by taking him home with her. The two reaffirm their feelings for each other but are interrupted by the three devils. Yuri tries to prod Limone into regaining his memories. The Love Angels face off against the three devils and a vision of Viento's father appears with a final message.
Yousuke corners Jama-P and pressures him to explain how to get to the devil world. Momoko catches on and stops him from going. Yousuke's second attempt to reach the devil world is interrupted when Raindevila sends a legion of devil phantoms and begins infecting the human world with the monster tree. Limone recovers his memory and is able to support the Love Angels once again, but Raindevila manages to abduct Viento. Peach goes after him and the two of them drive Raindevila back for the time being, but the battle has only just begun.
