Akari couldn't think less of her school's karate champ, Abe-kun, despite him being the national champion. He's giant, uncouth, and couldn't be more different than her sweet angel and childhood friend, Takuto. 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!

One thing's for sure: this monkey boy may have won Akari's affections, but the chase is far from over!

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!

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!

"Let's play a game. We're gonna see if you can outrun me before I catch you." The race for love against this wild man-beast continues! You'll be a junkie for pushiness before you know it!
