2	Haruma Ichinose, 17, has been popular since he was born. So popular, in fact, that he figured no one could even come close... until he met Yuki Mogami. She's tall, cool, collected, and totally makes him crazy. He may just be in love... but can he deal with falling for someone even more dashing than himself?

7	----
8	!!This manga provides examples of:
9
10	* AlmostKiss: Mogami gets ''really'' into the prince role and almost kisses Ichinose (dressed as Cinderella), who snaps her out of it when he gets embarrassed.
11	* AttractiveBentGender: When Ichinose and Miyoshi are dressed as Cinderella and her stepsister, all the girls think they look cute (they think Mogami looks cute all the time, whether she's dressed as a prince or not).
12	* BeachEpisode: In Chapter 13, they go to the beach. Ichinose runs through every beach episode cliche and trope in his head, but of course he takes the traditionally feminine role in them when they actually happen.
13	* BetaCouple: Mogami's friend Tomoda likes Ichinose's friend Miyoshi, and tries to get him to notice her.
14	* BeYourself: The message of Chapter 5, where Mogami fails at all attempts to be less charming. At the end of the chapter, Ichinose tells her not to bury her unique personality to please someone else.
15	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Mogami. She's got BoyishShortHair and is [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer popular with all the girls]] (and guys, but especially the girls) in school. In the school play, she's cast as the prince while Ichinose is cast as Cinderella.
16	* BishieSparkle: Both main characters have them frequently.
17	* BrownBagMask: Mogami wears one (without eye holes) to try to be less charming, but it just makes people focus on her voice, and when she stops talking, on her posture.
18	* CannotSpitItOut: It takes Ichinose an entire chapter just to ask Mogami for one of the muffins she baked, let alone tell her he likes her.
19	* CatchYourDeathOfCold: After Ichinose falls in the water at the beach, Mogami lends him her jacket so he doesn't catch a cold.
20	* CaughtTheHeartOnHisSleeve: Mogami grabs Ichinose's jacket when it starts thundering, and confesses she's afraid of thunder.
21	* CornerOfWoe:
22	** Mogami sits in one (with the BrownBagMask still on her head) after it fails to make her any less charming. A passing schoolgirl swoons over her "nice back".
23	** Ichinose later runs away to one when he's labeled a "shoujo heroine".
24	* CrazyJealousGuy: Ichinose immediately sees Momiji as TheRival for Mogami's affections, since they're the same character type.
25	* CrushBlush: Ichinose is ''very'' prone to this. Just thinking about Mogami is enough to make him blush.
26	* DinnerBathOrSexOffer: Nikaido has them both say this to the other while wearing an apron, to tell which one of them is the shoujo manga hero and which is the heroine. Guess which is which.
27	* DistressedDude: In Chapter 10, Ichinose is kidnapped by Sakurako, a delinquent who [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer also likes Mogami]] and wants to get her attention.
28	* DudeLooksLikeALady:
29	** Miyoshi looks feminine enough that some guys at the beach think he's a girl.
30	** New student Momiji Yamazaki also looks like a girl.
31	* EffortlessAmazonianLift: Mogami does this to Ichinose, to his chagrin.
32	* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Mogami has no shortage of female or male admirers.
33	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Their friends immediately realize that they like each other.
34	* {{Expy}}: Some fans have described it as "a romcom between [[Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun Kashima and Mikoshiba]]". It's especially clear in Chapter 6, where Mogami plays the prince and Ichinose plays Cinderella in the school play.
35	* FearOfThunder: Mogami reveals she has this when she and Ichinose are LockedInARoom together.
36	* GenreBlindness: Mogami is clueless about being the "prince" character in a {{Shoujo}} story, mentioning all the weird things that have been happening to her: finding [[AbandonedPetInABox stray kittens]] in the rain, rescuing girls from delinquents or yakuza, and preventing car accidents at the last minute.
37	* GenreSavvy: In contrast, Ichinose and especially Miyoshi and Nikaido are fully aware of the shoujo manga tropes Mogami exhibits, though Ichinose has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to himself.
38	* GotVolunteered: Ichinose is assigned the role of Cinderella in the school play without consulting him at all.
39	* HeadbuttThermometer: Mogami presses her forehead against Ichinose's forehead, causing him to blush.
40	* HeightAngst: Ichinose is insecure over being shorter than Mogami, especially when she grows even taller. He's seen holding a ruler on top of his head to visualize how much taller she is (4.7 inches, coincidentally the ideal height difference for kissing).
41	* ImagineSpot:
42	** Ichinose has these frequently, usually involving him being the one to sweep Mogami off her feet, rather than the opposite.
43	** When they're LockedInARoom, they speculate on the possibility of getting trapped in a blizzard on the school trip and needing to [[IntimateHealing share body heat]], given that their lives have started to resemble shoujo manga lately.
44	* JapaneseDelinquents: Sakurako is a ''sukeban'', with the long skirt and a mask covering her lower face.
45	* LockedInARoom: In Chapter 8, the two of them are trapped in the gym storage shed.
46	* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Miyoshi's hair isn't that long, but he looks feminine enough that [[DudeLooksLikeALady some guys at the beach think he's a girl]].
47	* LoveFlowers: Flowers appear behind Mogami and Ichinose when [[EffortlessAmazonianLift she picks him up]], and in his ImagineSpot where she says she likes him.
48	* NonAnswer: When Miyoshi asks Ichinose if he's ever had a girlfriend:
49	-->'''Miyoshi:''' Have you ever had a girlfriend? Or liked anyone?\
50	'''Ichinose:''' Charming men belong to everyone. No scandals for me.\
51	'''Miyoshi:''' Just be honest and say no.
52	* NotWhatItLooksLike: When their friends find them embracing in the locked storage room, since Mogami's afraid of thunder.
53	* ObliviousToLove: Mogami doesn't get what Ichinose and Sakurako mean when they say they "like" her, responding with a platonic declaration of love.
54	* OpenMouthInsertFoot:
55	-->'''Ichinose:''' ''(trying to ask Mogami to a movie)'' I bet you have too much time on your hands after school. I can take you to a movie, 'cause I feel bad for you.
56	* OperationJealousy: By Nikaido, the substitute teacher, Mogami's ChildhoodFriend, and a ShipperOnDeck. He gives Mogami a fake love note supposedly from a boy in class, to make sure he can get her and Ichinose in the same room together (with her thinking Ichinose wrote the letter).
57	* PrinceCharming: Ichinose ''thinks'' he's this trope, but [[{{Bifauxnen}} Mogami]] outshines him at every turn (and he falls for her).
58	* RomanceInducingSmudge: Ichinose gets jealous when Mogami wipes some food off Momiji's face, so he smudges some food on his own face to get her to do it to him.
59	* SecurityCling: Mogami hugs Ichinose tightly when she hears a scary noise (it turns out to be [[CatScare a cat]]) and when it starts thundering.
60	* SleeveTug: Mogami grabs Ichinose's jacket, since she can't see where she's going with a paper bag on her head.
61	* SlipperySwimsuit: Just as Ichinose is fantasizing about Mogami losing her bikini top in the water, a kid trips and pulls down his swim trunks.
62	* SlumberPartyPloy: When Nikaido and Miyoshi find the two of them [[NotWhatItLooksLike embracing in the gym shed]] long after school ended, they suggest telling their parents that Ichinose is at Miyoshi's house and Mogami is at Nikaido's.
63	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
64	-->'''Miyoshi:''' You like her, don't you?
65	-->'''Ichinose:''' [[BigWhat WHAT?!]] O-o-o-of course not! She barely even looks like a girl!
66	-->But, I mean, what if she fell for me? That would mean I'm cooler than her, y'know?
67	-->I guess I could go out with her if she asked. She's not bad looking, and she's nice, and cute...
68	-->So anyway, [[BlatantLies I don't like her at all]].
69	* ToastOfTardiness: Nikaido attempts to invoke this to create a MeetCute between Mogami and Ichinose.
70	* {{Tsundere}}: Ichinose is a quintessential male tsundere, putting on a "ladies' man" facade while blushing in embarrassment whenever he tries to flirt (or Mogami seems to be flirting back at him).
71	* TwiceShy: Ichinose is a {{Tsundere}} who can't admit to Mogami that he likes her, while she seems to be ObliviousToLove even while (possibly unconsciously) being a shameless flirt. However, in Chapter 9 Mogami runs away just as Ichinose is about to confess, implying she's shy about it as well.
