Pink & Habanero

She wants a boyfriend — anyone but him. He wants girls to buzz off. Sucks for them ’cos he’s paid to please princesses! High school freshman Mai can barely muster the confidence to talk to a boy, much less take one on a date. Plus, the first time she meets Kei Kurose, the wrong sort of sparks fly — even if Kei is head-turningly hot, who could put up with the way he treats girls like trash? Mai has no patience for his rude attitude, but when she just so happens to discover the scandalous secret of his part-time job, she might have to learn to keep his trust!

Mugi’s been doing the best to keep the secret of Kurose Kei’s part time job, so she should be the only girl at school who knows the aloof pretty boy spends his evenings serving parfaits and tea while dressed as a knight! But one day, Mugi receives an anonymous, threatening letter ordering her to stay away from Kei. And once he finds out, boy, does it ever tick him off! Looks like Kei’s the only one allowed to push Mugi around!

Mugi has kept Kurose’s secret long enough that now she’s part of it—Kurose is asking her to help out at the cosplay cafe where he works after school! That would mean she gets to enjoy seeing the usually curt Kurose on the clock in his gallant Knight Mode! But when the shift ends, it’s right back to friction and fighting for Mugi and Kurose…or is it?!

Mugi’s finally made a move on Kurose! She mustered the courage to ask him to hang out, just the two of them, and got a shocking “yes” in reply. However, on the day of, it seems like their lovely pseudo-date has turned into a disaster after they get into a fight at an aquarium… And the cherry on top?

With the way Kurose is so hot-and-cold around her, it’s a wonder that Mugi hasn’t exploded yet! He rejected her confession, but he’s still hanging out with her, and he let her into his school camping trip group, and he even has his incredibly sweet moments…! Yet he can still be such a totally annoying jerk at times too! But don’t worry — Kurose’s declaration that he actually does like Mugi is sure to simplify everything, right?!!
