A chaotic comedy of high school courtship between an awkward girl and a dorky boy too dense to realize they are already in love with each other.
Akira returns to the countryside for high school with a foolproof plan to win the heart of her childhood crush Hajime. Too bad they’re both fools in love… It’s an epic match made in awkwardness!
Highlights of Akira’s carefully orchestrated strategy to court Hajime include covering his eyes with her hands, tricking him into saying her name, and making his heart race… But she might have better luck impressing him with her academic and athletic prowess. Or not. Because he’s too dense to figure out that she likes him, and she’s too dense to figure out he likes her back!
Manga creator Shinta Harekawa grew up in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The first manga she read, Rumiko Takahashis Ranma ½, inspired her to begin drawing and led her to the discovery of Shonen Sunday magazine, where her series Akira Failing in Love now runs. Her series Senpai, This Cant Be Love was adapted into a live-action series in 2022 in Japan, and her series Three Exorcism Siblings ran from 2021 to 2023 in Coamixs Web Comic Zenon.
