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 Failing in Love, Vol. 4 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!

It’s time for summer fun with the gang! But first, Hajime discovers Akira’s scripts and has her dead to rights. How will she wriggle out of this?

Then, friendly police officer Mamoru tries to save the star-uncrossed lovers from bears. Next, Hajime gets a part-time job at Momose Bath, the traditional inn and hot springs owned by Akira’s family. And finally, a day at the beach leads to bikinis, opportunities to ask each other out, and… drowning?!

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.
