Kaoru Tada était une mangaka renommée pour ses histoires shōjo, caractérisées par des récits d'amour captivants centrés sur de jeunes protagonistes féminines et leurs aspirations romantiques. Son œuvre se distingue par un style de dessin épuré et percutant, et incorpore souvent des éléments humoristiques. Tada a fréquemment exploré les thèmes de la romance et des relations, parfois dans le contexte de la vibrante scène rock japonaise, faisant résonner ses histoires avec des thèmes de passion et de connexion juvéniles.

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!
