Description
Akira Failing in Love, Vol. 3 by Shinta Harekawa delivers a chaotic comedy of high school courtship between an awkward girl and a dorky boy too dense to realise they are already in love with each other.
Akira returns to the countryside for high school with a foolproof plan to win the heart of her childhood crush, Hajime. Too bad they're both fools in love!
The aftermath of Akira and Hajime’s first (accidental) kiss kicks off a storm of self-recrimination, apologies, and denial. Will one or both of the would-be lovers ever reach the stage of acceptance?
Then, Hajime joins the track-and-field team in hopes of winning tickets to an amusement park so he can invite Akira on a date, but his training sessions lead to jealousy.
Finally, Hajime goes to Akira’s home for the first time and meets her mother. Will she approve of him…?

About the Author
Manga creator Shinta Harekawa grew up in Nigata Prefecture, Japan. The first manga she read, Rumiko Takahashi’s Ranma ½, inspired her to begin drawing and led her to the discovery of Shonen Sunday magazine, where her series Akira Failing in Love now runs. Her series Senpai, This Can’t Be Love was adapted into a live-action series in 2022 in Japan, and her series Three Exorcism Siblings ran from 2021 to 2023 in Coamix’s Web Comic Zenon.
