Shugo Chara! Jewel Joker has officially taken the shōjo world by storm. Moving beyond her days at Seiyo Elementary, Amu Hinamori is now a middle schooler. While she still carries the "cool and spicy" persona that made her famous, she has been transferred to the prestigious Arcana Academy on a top-secret assignment. As the Joker Guardian, Amu must navigate new friendships and old rivalries while investigating a surge of "Batsu-tama" (X-Eggs) and hunting for the mysterious, all-powerful Arcana Jewels.
