There is that one secret that everyone carries in their hearts of hearts that can never see the light of day ever. Here is the tale about two such secrets.
Mitsuru comes from a well-mannered, highly respectable family; which leaves no question as to her elegance and grace... What could she possibly be hiding?
Natsuhiko keeps to himself and behind those bottle glasses of his is actually a model's face. What could he possibly be hiding?
Now starting the first year in highschool, both vow to keep their cool and have a normal teenage life. The first day comes rolling by, and Natsuhiko discovers that Mitsuru loves brutal beatings, a masochist dual personality that would scare anyone in their tracks. Soon afterwards, Natsuhiko reveals [unwillingly] that he is a hardcore narcissist, in love with his own reflection if he ever catches sight of it. How will these two deal with high school now?
This is definitely what I would consider a highly fictional idea in a real life setting, and a very interesting concept actually. It gives a very good reason for two people who have been introverts and no well-developed social skills to meet [in slightly strange circumstances to say the least] and interact. Their interaction is, to put it bluntly, the extreme exaggeration that an author could stretch too, making the situation very light and hilarious.
Overall, it was a simple read, the graphics were as excepted from the author/artist of Gakuen Alice, and made me smile. Enjoy!
