Houkago Seifuku wo Nuide

Houkago Seifuku wo Nuide is a romantic manga anthology exploring the thrilling and unexpected awakenings of young women navigating love, desire, and vulnerability. In "Saikou Kanojo," Chisa’s boyfriend Masa is universally feared for his intimidating face, yet he harbors a surprisingly gentle heart. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Sayuki, who has never experienced romance, finds herself unexpectedly dating her mature and popular cousin Takumi in "Yuuwaku Gokko." The stakes rise further in "Iinchou no Himegoto" when class committee chairman Ayano wakes up wearing nothing but her underwear in the bed of Kagura, the son of a yakuza boss. Driven by the intoxicating rush of first love and physical longing, these stories delve into the emotional turbulence of youth. In "Setsuna no Chuushin," Chiri grows weary of constantly playing third wheel to her friends until Eiji—the very boy her friend admires—begins closing the distance between them. Desperation takes a different turn in "Daytime wa Mayonaka ni," where the impoverished Himeko works as a high-end maid washing luxurious dishes for ten thousand yen an hour, only to be suddenly swept into the arms of a mysterious man. Finally, "Sokubaku☆Darling" follows Aki, who ends up in bed with Sakamaki, the school's most notorious playboy, left wondering if she can truly call herself his girlfriend until the marks from his kisses fade away.
