Kare to Kanojo no Chiguhagu

Koume is a first-year high school student who has always harbored a romantic fascination with the classic "princess carry." However, her daily commute to school takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Daisuke, a boy who defies every expectation she holds. Despite being incredibly athletic, he is remarkably short in stature. The only thing about him that matches grand proportions is his oversized attitude, and their initial encounter leaves much to be desired. To Koume's dismay, their rocky start is only the beginning of her troubles, as they both end up joining the same volleyball club. She firmly believes that spending time with someone like Daisuke will be nothing short of a nightmare. Yet, despite her vocal complaints and her determination to keep her distance, something entirely unforeseen begins to happen. Whenever she is near him, her heart races uncontrollably, leaving her deeply confused by these sudden, unfamiliar feelings. What started as mutual irritation is quickly transforming into an emotional puzzle that Koume cannot quite solve, forcing her to question what this strange new sensation truly means.
