The manga has been licensed by Los Angeles–based company Seven Seas Entertainment[1] and the first volume went on sale in January 2008, but the series is now on hold due to rights issues.[2] Three drama CDs based on this series have been released, the first two under the title Koi Shimai and the third under the title Hatsukoi Shimai.

Plot

[edit]

During a visit to Tsunojo Girls' Academy, Chika Matsuzato meets the girl of her dreams, cool upperclassman Haruna Kizaki. Even though they spent only one short day together, Chika will never forget Haruna's kindness, and has made it her life's goal to study hard and get accepted into Tsunojo Girls' School so that they can be together. However, things do not go as smoothly as Chika had planned when she finally arrives.

Haruna Kizaki (木咲榛菜, Kizaki Haruna)
A cool upperclassman, she meets Chika when giving her a tour around the school. Haruna uses her handkerchief to clean Chika's wound when she falls over, prompting Chika to promise to return it when she enters the school. Haruna was previously in a relationship with an upperclassman which did not end well, leaving her unsure about new relationships.
