The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten

A HEAVENLY ENCOUNTER!Mahiru is a beautiful girl whose classmates all call her an “angel.” Not only is she a star athlete with perfect grades-she’s also drop-dead gorgeous. Amane‚ an average guy and self-admitted slob‚ has never thought much of the divine beauty‚ despite attending the same school. Everything changes‚ however‚ when he happens to see Mahiru sitting alone in a park during a rainstorm. Thus begins the strange relationship between this incredibly unlikely pair!

HEAVEN IS WHERE THE HEART IS Amane and Mahiru never imagined their chance encounter in the rain would lead them to share so many warm meals and quiet moments. But as they gradually grow closer, Amane spots an unspoken loneliness hanging over her. Clumsy and awkward as he is, Amane is unsure what the cause is or how he can help. Complicating matters, his rowdy mother and gentle father announce a surprise visit over New Year’s, which can only mean trouble! Then again, maybe this is just the thing to start melting his beautiful neighbor’s icy heart.

HEAVEN ON EARTH IS A SECRET! The second year of high school has only just started, and Amane is already in a bind. His new class includes everyone’s angel, Mahiru, as well as their friends Itsuki and Chitose. Of course, no one can know how close he and Mahiru have gotten so long as they pretend to be strangers. This arrangement may not last long, though, given that a certain someone is clearly unhappy she can’t spend time with Amane. While he tries to figure out what to do next, some old wounds resurface...

IT’S TIME FOR CHANGES IN HEAVEN!To take his relationship with Mahiru to the next level, Amane works hard to improve himself so he can stand confidently beside her. However, Amane’s slow-and-steady approach may not be enough, as Mahiru takes bold measures to convey her feelings that Amane can’t afford to ignore… How will Amane respond to the devious actions of the sweet and beautiful angel?

After a long period of unrequited love, Mahiru and Amane finally begin dating, and the inexperienced pair stumbles through their new relationship while steadily growing closer. When they openly show their love at school, everyone is shocked. However, that isn’t the only change—Amane slowly becomes more confident and easier to approach. Watching him, Mahiru can’t help feeling slightly uneasy...but it’s the start of summer vacation, and unforgettable memories await!

HER SMILE IS HEAVENBack in his hometown, and with Mahiru’s support, Amane is finally able to confront his bitter past head-on. He’s so lucky to have a girl like her by his side, and as he watches her cheerfully accept his parents’ affection, he becomes all the more confident that he wants to stay with her forever. A couple at last, the pair share plenty of sweet, touching moments until, as their vacation draws to a close, it’s time to make memories at the summer festival! But amid so much joy, someone from Mahiru’s past makes an unlikely appearance…

ARE THERE MAIDS IN HEAVEN?A summer vacation filled with love has come to an end as Amane and Mahiru head back to school. They’re still floating on cloud nine, and their classmates can tell. If anything, it’s too obvious, and they wish these lovebirds could stop smothering the classroom with their overpowering romance. If they have to fill it with something, then it should be maids—or so the votes say when they decide to run a maid café for the fast-approaching cultural festival. Amane isn’t super-excited about the prospect of random guys ogling Mahiru for days, and while that’s a real concern, he should actually be worrying about what he’ll have to do during the event!

a slice of heavenAmane is a high schooler who lives alone and spent many of his days lazing about before he met Mahiru, the most beautiful girl at school, whom everyone treats like an angel. While they had little connecting them at first, a chance encounter drew the two closer and closer until they became inseparable. This collection of short stories dives into all the changes that Amane and Mahiru’s new relationship is going through and all the memories they’re making along the way.

After a fantastic birthday, Amane realizes how much his life has changed for the better thanks to Mahiru. To return the favor, he gets started on preparations to make Mahiru’s birthday her happiest yet, and enlists the help of friends, coworkers, and complete strangers alike. In the meantime, impending parent-teacher conferences send waves of anxiety throughout the school. With exam season following shortly after, Amane and Mahiru vow to dedicate themselves to their studies to ensure their future together. Chiefly on Amane’s mind, however, is Mahiru’s birthday, and the all-important day finally arrives. He has plenty of surprises in store to thrill his girlfriend, but how will she react when he reveals the pièce de résistance?
