Backwoods rough girl Hikari has worked hard all her life to be number one and she’s been thwarted at every turn by the handsome, brilliant, and disgustingly rich Kei. Always coming in as number two to his stellar one, Hikari considers him to be her ultimate rival. So falling for him sure is driving her nuts! Romance, comedy and more comedy is what S.A is all about! Kei’s smitten with Hikari, always has been. So when he thinks she’s going on a date with Tadashi, he kidnaps her! These rich boys sure think they can get away with anything! But when he gets sick, she’s the one playing nurse to her abductor and getting all soft on him. Will she ever get it through her thick, hot tempered skull that he likes her and she likes him? Well, they aren’t the only clueless bunch in this romantic jumble of a comedy. Girl crazy Akira is hiding a sad little story when she tries to befriend one of her cute female classmates. It looks like she might get hurt all over again, just like she did on that one sad day oh so long ago. And wouldn’t you know it, Akira crazy Yahiro had something to do with it then. And he has something to do with it now. But could it be something completely different than what Akira thinks? There’s quite the big reveal in the volume about Yahiro and Akira. The abduction didn’t work out how anyone wanted but it did get Kei something he wanted – a date with Hikari! But they hadn’t planned on the secret agents sent to subdue and kidnap Kei. So now it’s Hikari to the rescue! But wait! What’s this? A new girl has entered the picture! Sakura is supposed to be with Kei. Some kind of family arrangement. And she sure is quite the character! Pretty soon she’s thick as thieves with Hikari and it puts Hikari in a hugely awkward position with Kei. Gosh, are they ever going to untangle themselves from this mess? Either way, it will make you laugh the entire time through it! Plus there’s a smattering of bonus manga pages too.
IN SUMMARY:
S.A is a romantic comedy that will have you rolling with laughter while you cheer the couples on! |
