      Publisher: Dengeki Bunko (ASCII Media Works)

      Date: September 10, 2010 - March 10, 2014 (11 volumes)

      Author: Yuyuko Takemiya

      Illustrators: Eeji Komatsu

      Synopsis: Tada Banri, a newly admitted student at a private law school in Tokyo, found himself completely lost after the opening ceremony, trying to find his way to the freshman orientation. At that moment, he ran into another lost freshman from the same school, Yanagisawa Mitsuo, and they hit it off at once. Somehow arriving at their intended goal just on time, there appeared in front of the two a beautiful girl holding a bouquet of roses. The girl then whacked Mitsuo across the face with the bouquet and handed the flowers over to him. “Freshman, congratulations”, was all she said, and then she left. The stylish, well dressed, perfect woman that had swung at Mitsuo was his childhood friend, Kaga Kouko. As children they had promised to marry each other one day, fulfilling their dreams. In order to escape from her, Mitsuo had gone out secretly and taken the examination for this well known private college, but now she showed up in the freshman orientation hall. She too had taken the law school entrance examination, catching up with him there.

      Reason: It would be nice to read this in Light Novel format for depth details and I like the anime, plus the settings in college. Also I'm not sure if they cover the entire LN vol.

            One of the biggest appeals of this series is that it's based in college. Just not a whole lot of college based series out there.

            I'm not sure if I want to go through this one again since I did watch the anime, though I have more desire to reread it than Toradora. Certain scenes really hurt my heart though. 💔

            I will say, this is one of the few forced lead characters in a story that is a

              Spotlight time! A friendly bump to an older post that hasn't had any recent conversation and is lower on votes in order to draw attention to it.
