Introduction
A prince should be with a prince.
My happiness comes from peeping on the sidelines, uninvolved in the magic before me…
Story
Kae Serinuma is what you'd call a "fujoshi." When she sees boys getting along with each other, she loves to indulge in wild fantasies! One day her favorite anime character dies and the shock causes her to lose a ton of weight. Then four hot guys at school ask her out, but that isn't exciting to her at all — she'd rather see them date each other!
Characters
|
Kae Serinuma (CV: Yū Kobayashi)
The main character. A yaoi-loving girl that loves to watch boys being friendly with each other, or to fantasize about them. |
|
Yusuke Igarashi (CV: Tomoki Ono)
A sporty classmate on the soccer team. With the clean looks, he is popular in class. Seems straight-laced, but is actually quickest at working on girls!? |
|
Nozomu Nanashima (CV: Keisuke Kōmoto)
A flashy-looking classmate. Used to be on the soccer team. Has a sharp tongue but is straightforward. He looks like "Shion" that Kae loves. |
|
Hayato Shinomiya (CV: Yoshitsugu Matsuoka)
An underclassman that is an elite student. Health Committee member like Kae. Normally a prideful "tsun" pretty boy, but when complimented he turns "dere" and is cute. For Kae, he is like a princess. |
|
Asuma Mutsumi (CV: Nobunaga Shimazaki)
An upperclassman that is into sub-cultures. In the History Club together with Kae. Has a mind as broad as Buddha. Creates a friendly atmosphere with naturally airheaded statements. Soothes Kae. |
|
Shima Nishina (CV: Miyuki Sawashiro)
Attractive underclassman girl. A well-to-do girl that is extremely rich. Goes to Maldives for the new year every year. Like Kae, she is a yaoi-loving girl. |
