Product Description
Shindo has just transferred into an extremely individualistic school. The ideal honor student, Shindo appears to sparkle with his perfect poise and presence. Yosuke, on the other hand, is the school delinquent preferring to spend his time hanging out on the school roof. But, Yosuke has a dark secret. The stereotypical tsundere, he may appear hostile on the outside, but his gruff hides a very sensitive interior - an interior that Shindo is determined to uncover!

lore (Neverwhere)
All right, I think I have the hang of this mangaka now (she also wrote "The First Stage of Love"). Her main character, Yosuke, is the epitome of over-wrought, rebellious teenager. Being paired with the calm, cool, "respectable" Shindo makes Yosuke's antics appear even more over-the-top. Yet, there's not a chibi in sight, which is refreshing in a comedy book.
I couldn't help laughing out-loud several times while reading this. I'm not normally a fan of outright comedy or over-wrought teens, but the mangaka manages to balance her characterizations so that they appear funny and charming rather than annoying. Also, there's more than one "mature" scene in the primary story, which was nice to see after the almost chaste tone of her first book (mentioned above).
The second story in the book (two chapters), is titled "Sensei!". At first, I was worried that it would be a student/teacher romance, which I normally do not like, but this was a little different. Here, a student decides he must help his teacher with an issue he is having. While I think there is the promise of romance in the story, it never becomes overt. The story was sweet and a little calmer than the primary story. I remember being more aware of the art, which I liked, in these chapters.
I still find myself pleased that I made this purchase every time I pass the book on my shelf. This book is lighthearted and fun in a memorable way.
