I found this manga that has swept me off my feet. Every once in a while I pick up one of these shojo mangas and my heart beats crazy over them until I finish it or forget about it. This one is pretty ordinary, but since I don’t get stuff like this all the time, it’s very good to me anyway.

Girl is athletic and in softball team in middle school, reads lots of shojo manga and decides she wants a boyfriend in high school. She’s clueless though, and decides she needs a coach, and sets her eye on one of the hottest guys in school. Eventually he gives in since she is different from many girls and decides to help her, on one condition: that she won’t fall in love with him. The guy is tired of girls confessing to him and considers it an annoyance.

He is really straight-forward, doesn’t like high emotions, but really caring in the inside (aren’t all shojo manga guys like this -__-” ). As a coach, he worried about her a lot…awww

Obviously, somewhere along the way, she ends up falling in love with him even though she tries very hard (although she really didn’t think of him that way in the beginning). Skip ahead, here is an excerpt.

……….ugh. My heart aches when I read stuff like this…..in a good way, but why does it hurt? At any rate, this part makes him look a little…..dorky. It’s when he’s acting cool that I like him, although this stuff is nice > <.
