Aiko Kotori has always been easy to overlook-and she's learned to hide behind that fact.
At sixteen, she transfers to the prestigious Ouran Academy, where elegance is expected and confidence is practically a dress code. To everyone else, Aiko is just a quiet, book-loving girl with big glasses and bigger grades. But beneath her calm smile lies a heart shaped by loneliness.
Her parents haven't been home in over four years, always choosing work over family. Raised instead by her devoted maid and butler, Aiko has spent her life wondering why the people who should love her... never stayed. Compliments bounce off her like raindrops-how can she believe she's beautiful when she's never felt wanted?
Bullied, ignored, and carrying her hurt in silence, Aiko finds comfort in sunshine, video games, and a stack of manga. She's not sad anymore... just tired. Confused. Still trying to understand why she was left behind.
But everything shifts the moment she opens the doors to Music Room #3.
A world of velvet couches, sparkling chandeliers, and dangerously charming boys awaits-and The Host Club is more than ready to welcome her into chaos she never asked for. As walls begin to crack and new connections form, Aiko might finally discover something she's never believed before:
Beauty doesn't need permission to exist.
But will she let herself be seen?
Will she fall in love... or keep hiding behind her insecurities?
Yuna has had a hard life. From a young age, she was taught that love was not something that was freely given. Love was harsh and ugly.
Romance just wanted someone to love. He knew he could be the perfect boyfriend; he just needed the right girl. So, once he spotted a green-haired girl with a bruise on her cheek, he knew he had found the one. And he would have her, no matter what.
