Akari couldn't think less of her school's karate champ, Abe-kun, despite him being the national champion.

But when Abe-kun injures his arm protecting her, she takes it upon herself to get him healed—after all, the school's pride is at stake—but finds the tables suddenly turned when he confesses to her! Now she's the goal he's aiming for, and she'll soon find out how driven a national champion can be!

Akari always thought that Abe—the big-headed, bigfoot karate ace—was more trouble than he was worth, so she was floored when he suddenly asked her out! But Akari has gradually warmed up to Abe's passionate declarations of love, and their happy relationship has finally reached the starting line.♪ Little does she know that Abe is just as pushy as a boyfriend as he ever was before, and she'll need to put her foot down if she expects him to take things at her pace! The chase-and-be-chased marathon of love continues in volume 4!

Now, in their third and final year of high school, Akari and Abe are charging full speed ahead toward their futures. For Akari, that means studying for college entrance exams while Abe busts out all the stops for one last hurrah at Interhigh! (When your partner's doing their best, it's hard not to follow suit!) With their final summer break just around the corner, it's time to see exactly where our two heroes will end up, once and for all!

Unable to outrun Abe's fast and furious declarations of love, Akari suddenly realizes that she returns his feelings... But unfortunately for her, Abe's performance at the school festival has bumped his popularity into the stratosphere! Now, hapless-in-love Akari has to face-off against hordes of monkey-hungry ladies for his affections—even though she and Abe are finally on the same page (or so you would think)! The chase-and-be-chased marathon of love continues in volume 3!

Akari and Abe have faced their share of challenges on the way to becoming second-years.

He wants to win Akari's affections too! It's Abe versus Ryomei in a battle for supremacy in love AND karate!

But when Abe looks over the forecasted lineup, he takes off at an enraged run—heading straight for a second-year sempai's classroom! One thing's for sure: this monkey boy may have won Akari's affections, but the chase is far from over!

Abe's barreling full speed ahead toward the future of his dreams...and Akari just realized she's pretty much the same person she was when it all began. But this is the winter where it all changes. She's decided to spend the entire break finding her direction in life, and she won't let Abe distract her! But wait... Doesn't that mean they'll have to spend Christmas apart?! Looks like winter is the season of trials for these two lovebirds who can barely stand to be apart!
