Description
Her whole life, Hikari Hanazono has been consumed with the desire to win against her school rival, Kei Takishima—at anything. He always comes out on top no matter what he does, and Hikari is determined to do whatever it takes to beat this guy... somehow!
At age 6, Hikari lost to Kei in an impromptu wrestling match. Now, at 15, Hikari joins Special A, a group of the top seven students at a private academy, for the opportunity to trounce the guy who made her suffer her first defeat.
Being No. 2 Sucks!
When Hikari finally asks Kei out, it seems like a dream come true. But they weren't counting on a double date with Sakura and Jun! And when Kei and Hikari finally get a moment alone, who shows up but the dreaded Yahiro? Throw Megumi, Takashi, and Akira in the mix, and it's another troubled day in paradise!
