Kara Sawagi

Alice Tobe, the vice president of Margaret Academy, an all-girls school, is known for her harsh opinions about boys. Ikuo Bene, vice president of the nearby boys' school Kigiku Gakuen, is skeptical about love. Their paths cross when they are required to collaborate for the annual joint Cultural Festival between the two schools. As they work together, their initial hostility and differing views begin to shift. The story draws inspiration from Shakespeare's *Much Ado About Nothing*, reimagining it in a contemporary setting.
