Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl

Ooguma Satomi has spent her entire school life watching romance from the sidelines. She has never dated anyone and has never known the thrill of first love—until an ordinary day changes everything. Without warning, she finds herself utterly captivated by a strikingly handsome younger classmate, and for the first time in her life, Satomi understands what it means to fall head over heels. To her, he seems like the perfect boy—dashing, charming, and impossibly easy to admire—and her complete lack of experience only makes these newfound emotions feel all the more overwhelming and precious. What begins as a simple crush quickly deepens into genuine affection, filling Satomi's unremarkable daily life with a happiness she never expected to find. But her picture-perfect first love harbors a secret she never could have imagined. The beautiful "boy" who has stolen her heart is, in reality, a girl—and Satomi has absolutely no idea. As her feelings continue to blossom, this youthful love story builds toward a revelation that promises to turn everything Satomi believes about romance—and perhaps herself—completely upside down.
