Tsuda, Masami

Top students Yukino and Soichiro are finally beginning to realize they make better friends than rivals when Hideaki, the school's token pretty boy, decides for some reason to disturb their budding relationship.

Yukino, accustomed to being the number one student at her school, decides to take action when she is knocked off her perch by new boy Soichiro-Arima, but she did not count on falling in love with him.

Tempers flare and competitive natures run wild while the students prepare for the culture festival and Yukino is reunited with an old rival.

Yukino is thrilled when Soichiro returns from a successful tournament, but family issues force Soichiro to pull away and question his true feelings.

Tsubasa, an old friend of Soichiro's from junior high, transfers to Soichiro's high school, where she vows to take Soichiro from Yukino, no matter what it takes.

Soichiro and Yukino's relationship is put to the test when they are forced to spend their summer vacation apart.
