Misaki Seems to Like You

My name is Misaki Nene. I'm a student at Namimori Middle School, and Hibari-senpai is the person I like. Of course, he doesn't know I like him. I'm in the midst of a sweet, awkward crush, and the only people who probably know about it are my mother and my deskmate, Tsuna-kun. But unrequited love never lasts forever. Just as I was about to give up on my feelings for my senpai, something else happened and sped up the process... I fell in love at first sight with Gokudera-kun, the new Italian transfer student! Love at first sight is such a romantic thing. I fell for Hibari-senpai at first sight, too! Goodbye, senpai! The fire of my love has moved on to someone else! But my happiness didn't last. I realized Gokudera-kun seemed to like my deskmate, Tsuna-kun. He followed him around every day, calling him "Tenth" this and "Tenth" that. As long as Tsuna was there, Gokudera couldn't see anyone else. Me: ... Well, love knows no gender. So be it. And so, the fire of my love for Gokudera-kun went out. Just as I was telling my dear friend Tsuna-kun about my romantic misfortunes, I suddenly noticed how gentle and tender he looked in the sunlight... I heard my heart pounding wildly. I, Misaki Nene, student at Namimori Middle School, seem to have fallen in love at first sight once again. Reading Guide: * Contains out-of-character portrayals. The heroine has a somewhat complicated personality. * The heroine is an ordinary person (?), with a rather useless special ability. * Focuses on everyday life, mainly Katekyo Hitman Reborn, with Bungou Stray Dogs, Durarara!!, and a few others appearing in later chapters. · Coming Soon: The Cloud Guardian Is More Than Just Aloof in Private I've always thought this world was pretty incredible. Especially since coming to Namimori. How could you sum up all those days with just one word: incredible? A younger schoolmate turns into a completely different person the moment he takes off his clothes? An Italian kitten carries a huge supply of explosives everywhere? A baby with strange sideburns is actually the world's greatest hitman? A kid in a cow-print outfit seems to have hair enchanted with spatial magic? All kinds of bizarre events keep happening around me, nothing like my idea of "everyday life." It makes me miss the days when I lived in Ikebukuro. My life was a lot more peaceful then, and I had friends who shared my interests. I really miss those days when he and I would talk about everything from life's many facets to poetry and literature. It's just that I can't say I approve of his claim to love all of humanity. "Spacing out during a fight. Are you trying to provoke me?" I leaned back to dodge the attack, growing even less able to understand Izaya's tastes. People can certainly be a lot of fun, but getting mixed up with a troublesome guy like Hibari is still a pain. ...And now he's waiting outside my classroom to ambush me. What a pain. Can't a person get any sleep? Haven't the rumors at school reached the Disciplinary Committee? Ever heard of keeping your distance to avoid misunderstandings? So what if I almost blew up the school? Does he really have to keep hounding me? What a sore loser. * "Do you have some kind of connection to Rokudo Mukuro?" One day, Hibari, my boredom-busting toy, suddenly asked me that. I was a little surprised. "How did you know I was connected to him?" "...What kind of connection?" "Well, if I had to describe it, I'd say he's my lover?" "..." *Cloud and Mist sandwich . Coming Soon: There Are Too Many Obsessive Guys! I once had a beautiful first love named Ooba Yozo, but he later died in an accident. I was heartbroken. Then I thought of my mother, who died young, my alcoholic father, and my crazy brother who wanted to get with his own sister, and I decisively ran away from home. I threw away everything I had that could possibly be fitted with a tracker and took a roundabout route to a place I barely recognized. I checked the street signs and found out it was Yokohama. That's where someone stole my wallet. Me: ... With no money to my name, I felt like the unluckiest person alive. I curled up in a corner and thought dying wouldn't be so bad. Life was already so pointless. I might as well die for my first love. But fate wasn't done with me. A handsome blue-eyed boy saved me. He told me this was the dangerous Suribachi City, then took me in after I gave him a sob story. And just like that, I became a member of the Sheep. Later, the handsome blue-eyed boy, Nakahara Chuuya, started working for a certain Port Company. I didn't want anything to do with an illegal organization, so I left Yokohama. But I didn't want to stay at home anymore. After skipping several grades, I was soon going to Russia to study abroad. Before I left, I decided to visit Yokohama again. I met a strange man. This white-haired guy with a blindfold said I had some kind of special-grade cursed spirit inside me. He was obviously a con artist. What a waste of a handsome face. Since I had nothing better to do, I played along with his little act. Then I actually saw my dead first love, but he had become so ugly and pathetic that he ruined the pure image of him I'd kept in my heart. I quickly told the blindfold guy to exorcise him. ...Even if you're my first love, you can't follow me around with such an ugly face. If you want to rekindle our relationship, at least use your old face! Even this unscrupulous teacher in front of me is a hundred times better-looking. White-haired, unscrupulous teacher: "...Hey!" I went on a trip to Italy and ran into the Mafia. Tsk, why are there so many Mafia groups in the world... Huh? Aren't those a few of my old classmates? How did they end up in the Mafia? I graduated from university, returned home, then went back to Yokohama to visit the green-eyed detective friend I'd made on my last trip. ...And then I met my dead ex-boyfriend. Oh, why won't he leave me alone? Did he think I wouldn't recognize him just because he wrapped himself in bandages twice? He hasn't even covered his face. The bandage-wrapped man gazed at me mournfully. "Don't treat me like I'm him." ? Who would play such a childish game of pretending to be someone else? Do you think you're the protagonist of a tragic romance? What kind of ridiculous line is that... And you're the one who came on to me! All you crazy people, stay away from me, okay?!
