When Hatsumi has to buy a pregnancy test because her popular sister Akane is late, Mrs. Tachibana s son, Ryoki, who used to bully Hatsumi as a kid, promises not to tell the world about Hatsumi s secret, only if she becomes his slave. Suddenly Azusa, Hatsumi s protector in their youth, reappears to save her again! He is moving back into the neighborhood!

Comments: Those that know me might be going why? Why Lauren did you choose Hot Gimmick? We thought you hated Hot Gimmick? Bad relationships and awful abusive boyfriends and basic plot twists you can see a mile away? You know, all those things that rile the blood YOU TOLD US TO NEVER READ IT. Well, not quite. You should read this to know the classic signs of what is a bad, a very bad, relationship. Many who read this develop a notion that it is romantic and so beautiful the various characters' interactions. Other people write it off because it angers them for being stupid. The problem is, to my knowledge at least, the author wrote it fully to portray what an abusive relationship is. I figured, hey, it's February and the month of love, let's have something valuable to say about love. So, if you're into shoujo, give it a shot. There's a few scenes I would say mark this as a more mature title, but it's nothing, absolutely pale and vanilla, in comparison to other suggestions I have had (Beserk anyone?).
