Diary of a Female Lead: Shujinkou Nikki Series

THE SUMMER TRIP

When Aoi’s family goes on a glamping trip over summer vacation, it could be the opportunity Aoi needs to sort out her growing feelings for Sena. That is, until her mom invites Sena to come along! Being in such close proximity with Sena is the last thing flustered Aoi needs, but it might be an opportunity for the two to grow closer before a class seat change tears them apart again. Maybe Aoi’s new seatmate, a cool, gorgeous girl with rumors swirling around her, will distract her from heartache for a bit?

THE PRACTICE DATE

Aoi only just started her search for the perfect boyfriend with the help of her brother, Itsuki, and her classmate, Sena, but she’s already found a prime candidate—Tokunaga, a cute volleyball club member with whom Aoi has a lot in common. Not wanting to screw up her potential romance before it even starts, she enlists Sena to go on a practice date with her—not realizing that Sena on a date is completely different from the Sena she knows from class! Will seeing this new side of Sena awaken something in Aoi?

The critically acclaimed meta shojo about taking charge of your own (love) life!

Tsujimura Aoi wouldn’t consider herself a main character by any means. Meek and insecure, she’s constantly alone, unlike her athletic older brother, Itsuki, or her mother, a famous shojo mangaka. Aoi doesn’t need to be the heroine, though—all she wants is a true friend. But Itsuki disagrees, and when he brings home Aoi’s effortlessly cool classmate Mizusawa Sena, the two concoct a plan to teach Aoi all about love, using shojo manga as their guide. Can this drab side character become an unparalleled female lead by falling for the perfect guy?
