    High school’s not easy. For a girl who spent her life in junior high school as a certified jock, the mission to snag a boyfriend in high school is quite a tall task. But Haruna Nagashima is not the girl who gives up. She’ll do anything and everything to make her High School debut! Even if it meant getting a snobby yet handsome high school senior as her coach.

    This is a completely hilarious romance about a boy and a girl who’s just starting to figure out what love is all about. Having studied all the formulas in shoujo romance, how can Haruna Nagashima’s go wrong? Well, Kazune Kawahara tells you that a romantic life ain’t no shoujo manga. But Kawahara also depicts a romance quite true to most girls out there. Koukou Debut serves a fresh tale on what it’s like to fall in love the first time.

    It’s your first day in High School. You chose the school with the best school uniform so you could round up more boys. Everything looks great so far until a guy you can’t remember suddenly tells you that he’s going to get his revenge at you. And you try to remember all the things that you have done in your life, but you just can’t. What starts out as a beginning of a funny comedy, turns into a sappy high school romance. Miki Aihara takes the usual shoujo formula and expands it to a 5 volume teenage drama. God, if it took her four volumes to figure out what she has done to the guy, you wouldn’t wonder why the publishers considered pulling the plug.
