Summary: In junior high, Haruna Nagashima was only interested in two things: softball and manga; but starting high school has changed her focus, as she wants to snag a boyfriend and have the romance of her dreams! Convinced that a coach is needed (just like when she trained for softball), she recruits cute upperclassman Yoh Komiyama to instruct her on how to make herself more appealing. Yoh agrees, with one catch: Haruna had better not fall for him!
