Hanjuku-Hime

Anthology of one-shots by Sakurano Mika.

1. Hanjuku Hime

Momoe is the type who accepts everyone’s opinions without contesting them regardless if they are right or not. That’s why people around her tend to call her dumb or stupid. Never showing a hurt face she’ll always smile back at them and she won’t even get angry. Takasugi, the school’s idol, gets to know her after some meetings in the infirmary and he’s amazed by her lack of self esteem combined with a warm smile ready to be given to anyone. She also starts to feel attracted to him, but is love what Takasugi feels or only curiosity?

2. Oresama, Kaimasen ka?!

3. Kiss Friend

Emimi had had several boyfriends. However, she disliked any intimate contact with them. Whether kissing or even holding hands, she got disgusted and simply breaks away. One day, she realized that her long time friend, Shinji, did not gross her out and asked him to kiss her. That, of course, is the beginning of a romance.

4. Imakoi

5. Kaori-chan Himitsu Nikki

Kaori has quite the imagination when it comes to romance. In particular, she daydreams about cliche school romance scenes between herself and the boy she likes, Ryuu. One day she drops her diary and it’s picked up by the difficult and hard-to-approach Mayuki. Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship, or fandom?
