Gosh this manga is cute! It tells the story of a young girl, Nao, who meets a boy, Taiga, who everyone thinks is a delinquent. He has red hair and a mean face, but to everyone's surprise he has a heart of gold (and loves animals!). Taiga falls in love with Nao but is she too afraid of him to give him a shot? A great story about how judging a book by its cover is never the way to meet new people. Recommended By Hannah B., Powells.com
Synopses & Reviews
Little did Nao Kogure realize back in middle school that when she left an umbrella and a box of bandages in the rain for injured delinquent Taiga Onise that she would meet him again in high school. Nao wants nothing to do with the gruff and frightening Taiga, but he suddenly presents her with a huge bouquet of flowers and asks her to date him—with marriage in mind! Is Taiga really so scary, or is he a sweetheart in disguise?
