And for Abe, this means finally settling the score with Ryomei! But our heroine might still be in luck, because after Interhigh comes her birthday—and Abe's got a special surprise for her. ♪

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! Now she's the goal he's aiming for, and she'll soon find out how driven a national champion can be!

With Abe's karate tournament safely a thing of the past, the scene shifts to December, which can only mean one thing...Akari and Abe's very first Christmas!♪ Abe wants to know what Akari's favorite thing is, so she proposes a game: if he can figure out what that is, she'll give him anything he wants. Surprising absolutely no one, the gorilla boy is all too happy to rise to the occasion!

Akari's been floating on air lately. She and Abe are happily in love, which means, for the very first time, she has an actual Valentine for Valentine's day! Now, if only her Dad hadn't stumbled upon them in a compromising situation... And then a second-year-shakeup turns everything topsy-turvy in the worst possible way!

If there's one person Akari can't stand, it's Abe: the big-headed, bigfoot ace of the karate club… right until he floors her with an unexpected confession! Even as Abe's embarrassingly straightforward (and frequent) declarations throw her for a loop, Akari finds herself unwittingly drawn to him over the course of summer break and the school festival... "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!

Akari and Abe have faced their share of challenges on the way to becoming second-years. Most recently, Ryomei-sempai—Abe's inspiration, the guy who first introduced our gorilla boy to karate—has officially named himself Abe's rival. But it's not just victory on the mat he's after... He wants to win Akari's affections too! It's Abe versus Ryomei in a battle for supremacy in love AND karate!

Isaku never asked to be the daughter of a yakuza boss, but when her parents died in a car accident when she was 5, her gangster grandfather took her in and raised her as part of the clan. After years of being avoided by her schoolmates because of her family ties, Isaku is finally ready to make her high-school debut, live a normal life, and maybe even find love...until loyal family servant and Isaku's dedicated guardian, 26-year-old Keiya, enters high school right alongside her and vows to protect her from all of the above! Now she's got a chain-smoking, pistol-wielding knight-in-shining(?)-armor to deal with, and navigating high school besides? What's a young lady to do?!
