Synopsis

Coy and self-conscious high school student Karin Karino never paid much attention to boys until she met Kiriya, a popular student from a nearby boys' school. Karin and Kiriya embark on a romantic journey despite Karin's classmate Yuka's best efforts to sabotage their relationship, but Karin soon learns that living happily ever after isn't on the curriculum when she becomes Kiriya's center of attention, as well as embittered Yuka's bull's-eye on her dartboard of hate.

The real trouble I had with this series is the characters. The two leads are not compelling at ...

Umm yeah what's the story about?
There's a hot guy and he's popular and a playboy and there's a plain girl who's shy or whatever.
Anyway they start to like each other but girl can't be with boy so she gets depressed and goes to a club gets wasted and almost gets raped. (She's ...
