Momiji to Kouyou

Konno Ao has long been the object of her peers' admiration—a strikingly beautiful high school girl whose cool demeanor and sharp features have earned her the fitting nickname “The Prince.” Yet beneath that polished exterior lies a deeply held conviction: she has no interest in boys, only in girls. That very truth becomes her shield when Touyama Kouyou, a childhood classmate who once made her life miserable with endless teasing, reappears with an earnest, persistent confession of love. Ao shuts him down without hesitation, believing that to be the final word on the matter. But Kouyou is not so easily diss귭. Determined to breach the wall Ao has built, he takes a drastic and utterly unexpected step—transforming himself into “Momiji,” an impossibly adorable girl who radiates charm from every gesture. Haunted by the guilt of his past cruelty and driven by a love that refuses to fade, this new Momiji looks Ao straight in the eye and makes a bold vow: she will become the best girlfriend Ao could ever ask for. It is a promise that defies all logic and crosses lines Ao never imagined could be blurred. Yet as Momiji’s earnest efforts chip away at her defenses, Ao finds her heart pounding in ways she cannot rationalize—ways that betray her own rules and leave her thoroughly flustered. Caught between her ingrained preferences, a tangled history of childhood resentment, and the undeniable pull of this beautiful, maddening girl before her, Ao stumbles headlong into a springtime romcom where every step is a delightful miscalculation and love refuses to fit into any neat category.
