SHINSHI DOUMEI CROSS

I just finished reading this and I am hooked. Well, it's not often I stumble upon great shoujo manga and I am glad this is great!
The story is about Haine Otomiya, an ex yakuza who falls in love with Shizumasa Touguu, a koutei (emperor) or prez of her school's student council. She has fallen for him since she was 10 and when he came to her rescue one snowy night, the feelings are reignited!
However, Shizumasa wears a stern face and refuses to accomodate her. However, Haine is tricked by her friends and she becomes member of students council with the task of being Shizumasa's bodyguard. Completely in love, she takes the task, and thus starts her journey to discover Shizumasa's mask, settles her own past and completes her life with a myriad of interesting, unforgettable characters of the other members in the students council like Maora, Maguri, and Ushio.

>> I adore the story so much especially Shizumasa (koutei) My heart goes out for him but it seems like his story is yet to unfold. However I am happy Haine's past gets the treatment it deserves. Kazuhito and Maika are so beautiful together and I hope this would rub off a little to H X T.

>>I can't help it, but doesn't Kazuhito reminds u of Takanari and Itsuki-sama reminds u of Shizumasa?

love it to bits!!

The artwork is extremely pretty. Arine Tanemura has outdone herself once again! The story is cute and believable. I was confused because there were so many relationships going on and different gender orientations LOL. Also, at the end I wasn't sure how the story ended. It was left a little unclear but it's definitely worth reading♥ Of course it's mostly predictable but the first quarter of the story was a complete surprise to me.
