Love Story! – Fall in Love, Hanabi –

Love Story! – Fall in Love, Hanabi – (Japanese title: Koibana! Koiseyo Hanabi) is a popular shojo manga series created by Nagamu Nanaji and published by Shueisha. The storyline follows Hanabi Marui, a high school girl who strongly dislikes boys and planned to attend an all-girls academy. However, after failing her target exam, she ends up enrolling at Nanaho Academy, where males make up 87.5% of the student body.

Vowing to spend her high school years completely isolated from male classmates, Hanabi's plans are quickly ruined when she attracts the attention of Chikai Uno. Chikai, one of the most prominent boys at school, constantly challenges her defenses with his teasing yet caring demeanor. Hanabi finds herself swept into dramatic school encounters that test her resolves.

Nagamu Nanaji brings vibrant energy to this romantic comedy through expressive character dynamics and humor-filled situations. The dynamic male-heavy campus setting provides a unique backdrop for comedic misunderstandings and high-stakes romantic tension. Readers witness Hanabi's slow transformation as she opens her heart to genuine affection.

Serialized in Margaret magazine and spanning 10 complete volumes, the manga established itself as a classic staple of late 2000s shojo literature. It successfully combines lighthearted slapstick comedy with deep emotional beats regarding youth identity and friendship. The title remains widely celebrated among fans of Shueisha's romance lineup.
