Kaoru Tada war eine gefeierte Manga-Künstlerin, die für ihre Shōjo-Geschichten bekannt ist, welche sich durch fesselnde Liebesgeschichten auszeichnen, die sich um junge weibliche Protagonistinnen und ihre romantischen Bestrebungen drehen. Ihre Arbeit zeichnet sich durch einen essentiellen, scharfen Zeichenstil aus und beinhaltet oft humorvolle Elemente. Tada erforschte häufig Themen der Romantik und von Beziehungen, die manchmal vor dem lebendigen Hintergrund der japanischen Rockmusikszene angesiedelt waren, wodurch ihre Geschichten bei jungen Lesern Anklang fanden.

Passing the college entrance exam, Kotoko is accepted into the same college as Naoki, and their first semester had just begun. She's excited and looks forward to spending more time with Naoki ― or, so she thought! Now she has competition! She’s tall, beautiful, smart, and good at sports...she’s practically perfect! Is Kotoko ready to take on a nemesis?
High school senior Kotoko Aihara has had a crush on Naoki Irie since his freshman year. Unfortunately, a few things are discouraging her from him: he's a member of "Class A," the top ranking class in school, whereas she's in "Class F"; he gets the top score on every exam; and he's so smart, popular, and handsome that he's been class president every year. When Kotoki finally musters up the courage to present him with a love letter, though, Naoki outright refuses it, telling her point blank ― with a look of disgust and boredom ― that he doesn't like "stupid girls." Poor Kotoko's worst nightmare!
