A sugary romcom with a happy ending – the author guarantees it! Koyuki Shirogane is feared throughout her school for her sharp tongue, so much so that she's become known as "The Queen of Thorns!" One day, Naoya Sasahara rescues her from a pushy classmate's advances. That's when he learns that she's nothing more than a normal girl who's adopted her harsh demeanor as a facade to protect herself. Koyuki ends up falling for the gallant Naoya, while he ends up smitten with her more vulnerable side. Are the two capable of being honest about their feelings? Find out as, little by little, their hearts begin to open up!
