Status in Japan :: complete at 6 volumes
Status in US :: 6/6 released 
Volume 1
Average, unremarkable Ai Maekawa navigates school life unnoticed...until one day when a spiteful classmate totally humiliates her in front of everyone. Determined to jettison her embarrassing past, she overhauls her image and enrolls at a new high school where no one knows the old Ai. From the start, Ai is the target of romantic advances and jeolous gossip--can a formerly invisible girl handle this avalanche of attention? And is Ai's erstwhile identity as a loser really as far behind her as she hopes?
Volume 2
Ai has plenty of reasons to feel good about herself--she has a great group of feiends, a chance to apperar in a teen magazine, and the eye of gorgeous guy Sô. But she's still living in fear of anyone learning the whole truth about her former life as a total loser. When Ai's new pals--Sô, Mina, and Kato--come over to her house to study for finals, Ai scrambles to hide all evidence of her humiliating past. Unfortunately, Ai soon learns she has competition for Sô's heart...and her rival would like nothing more than to embarrass Ai in front of Sô!
Volume 3
Just as Ai begins to feel secure in her budding relationship with Sô, she hears a rumor that Sô isn't solely devoted to her. She doesn't want to believe it, but when one of Sô's other girlfriends--a beautiful, elegant college student named Kyoka--arrives on the scene, Ai can no longer avoid the truth and is thrown into a tailspin of confusion. Was it naive of Ai to think that Sô could only have eyes for her? Is she ready to swallow her pride and compete with Kyoka for Sô's attention? Or will she decide that no guy--not even Sô--is worth the hassle and humiliation of sharing him with other women?
Volume 4
As Ai begins her second year of high school, the influx of pretty freshman girls means fiercer competition for her boyfriend Sô's heart. The rising tension magnifies Ai's insecurities, and she lashes out at the new students! Could her tantrum make her the school's laughingstock again? Meanwhile, when Sô learns that another suitor is pursuing Ai, cracks in his usually cool demeanor expose a nasty jealous streak. But even if Ai can forgive Sô's boorish behavior, the lovebirds won't be out of jeopardy because a mysterious interloper is determined to break them up!
Volume 5
During a trip to her boyfriend Sô's beach house, Ai learns that his parents are pushing him to break up with Ai and date Sakurako, a girl they've chosen because of her family connections. Already uncomfortable in Sô's lofty world of wealth and politics, Ai becomes even more self-conscious with the emergence of a new rival, and when Sô transfers to Sakurako's school, she fears that her nightmare may be coming true. Could he really have caved to his parents' demands? And will Ai's anxiety over losing her beau--along with the rampant peer pressure among the students--force her to "go all the way" before she's ready?
Volume 6
Ai's sometimes-rocky relationship with her boyfriend Sô has weathered many a storm and become stronger for it...but now that Sô's first serious girlfriend, Shuko, has come back into the picture, it may be a different story. Sô and Shuko have a history together, and Ai's confidence wavers when she realizes what a comparatively short time she has been a part of Sô's life. When Sô returns to the arms of his ex, will Ai put on a brave face and accept his decision, or will she push her hard-earned self-respect aside and beg to get him back? Find out in the poignant conclusion of doubt!!
