Heh, Beyblade is one of the few series I never got around to watch back then!

I don't know where you left off, but the basic concept is still the same (Kyoko gets various jobs that make her learn something new and drive the plot a bit further). There are more new characters, though, and the latest events definitely put a certain emphasis on the "romance" between Kyoko and Ren. I say "romance", because yeah, it is Kyoko, but there's definitely a vague sense of realisation on her side.
