Beautiful, frightening, and not quite five feet tall, the girl known as the palmtop tiger is the one person in school even scarier than Ryuuji himself–and he''s just made the mistake of making her very, very angry. "'

And what happens if Taiga doesn't even want to win?

BEWARE THE WRATH OF THE PALMTOP TIGER! Takasu Ryuuji has learned the hard way that appearances can be deceiving. Despite his inwardly sweet personality, his unintentionally sharp gaze and aggressive features give him the air of a delinquent thug, putting his chances at making friends, let alone a girlfriend, next to zero. It’s Ryuuji’s first day in junior high school and it seems as if things are looking up. He gets to sit in between his only friend, Yusaku, and, more importantly, the girl he’s secretly crushing on, Minori Kushieda. But just when he thinks the stars are aligned in his favor, he unwittingly crosses the most feared girl in school, Taiga Aisaku, making her onto his arch enemy. To top it off, Taiga has moved in right next door to Ryuuji and happens to be Minori’s best friend! Can this school year possibly get any worse?!

A new school term begins as Ryuuji, still hurting from Minori's rejection, awkwardly tries to figure out how to face her.

But when a dangerous accident befalls one of them on the snowy slopes, feelings might be the least of their worries!

The new school year brings with it a new transfer student--Kawashima Ami, a breathtakingly gorgeous model who quickly has the whole class smitten.

When she unwittingly shows Aisaka Taiga her true colors, a bad first meeting quickly escalates into a bitter rivalry, made worse by the fact that Ami seems determined to charm Ryuuji. The Palmtop Tiger is on the warpath, and Ryuuji might just have to pick a side--or become a casualty of war!
