Haru Yoshida is viewed as an unstable and violent "monster" ever since being suspended on the first day of school for beating up three upperclassmen.  Shizuku Mizutani is a grade-obsessed student with no friends.  When they run into each other Haru declares that he "likes" Shizuku.  Now they are a very unlikely pair of friends.

I had started to read this manga last year when it first came out and I never made it through the book.  I tried it again now and enjoyed the book.  I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Augusta Ballinger and Harry Graystone seem to be complete opposites.  Augusta is daring, frivolous, impetuous, and quick to follow any plan that occurs to her.  Graystone is scholarly, disapproving, and very concerned with propriety.  So Augusta is shocked when Graystone proposes marriage.  How will there opposites work out their differences when they have to deal with war spies from the past?
I listened to the audio version of this book.  It was interesting to see how the characters both changed throughout the book to become more and more like each other.  A great historical romance.
