'" Takasu Ryuuji might look like a thug, but he''s actually a nice guy. Making friends when you''ve got an unintentionally scary face is tough–and don''t even get him started on girlfriends. But with his secret crush in his class, the start of his second year of high school is off to a good start…until he crosses paths with Aisaka Taiga.

"'

Will their friends come through for them at the crucial moment? Or is happily-ever-after just a childish fantasy? Find out in this heart-stopping conclusion to the epic romcom!

BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE PALMTOP TIGER! Takasu Ryuuji has learned the hard way that appearances can be deceiving.

He gets to sit in between his only friend, Yusaku, and, more importantly, the girl he’s secretly crushing on, Minori Kushieda.
