Happy Hustle High Volume 1, by Roe Takada

In the first volume of , Happy Hustle High, by Rie Takada, Hanabi Ozora is a 16 year old who attends an all-girls’ school. Until all of a sudden the school was relaunched as coed. Girls are now fonding over the new boys who lead the student council. One of them bwing Yasuaki Garaku. He doesn’t get close to girls considering that his entire family are men. However, Hanabi’s strong and fierce personality catches his eye. During many chaotic moments they share, romantic tension rises even when she’s unsure of who to like after her school’s great change.

Out of my personal experience, I was able to finish the whole thing in one sitting. So far I enjoy it and am looking forward to reading the 2nd volume. The book itself is categorized as a shojo which is known as a manga published for females audiences. Reading it made me feel giggly because because believe it or not I’m just a hopeless romantic teenage girl. So if you’re someone like me, I’d recommend reading Happy Hustle High.
