My Review:
 
Tonomine had a part and I really hope he gets together with that girl from the shop. Ryo's really tough, old, arrogant grandfather is allegedly ill, and she goes away to take care of him.  Then Asuka comes to visit and finds out the grandfather has a secret. 

Then Asuka's mom shows up and starts terrorizing the high school. So many people are involved in the school's restructuring.  Asuka's mom is very scary and terrifying!
 
5/5
 
Thanks Maylene from Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!

This sounds like an interesting series. Although the yellow overalls the person on the cover is wearing looks ridiculous.

Hi Alison,

I really enjoy this series and have to agree about the yellow overalls.

The reason why he is wearing those overalls is because he likes girly things (otomen).
