Better to Cry for Love

どうせ泣くなら恋がいい

by Aki Kusaka

Hodaka has moved frequently due to her father’s job, living only with him wherever they are stationed. In a new city and at a new school, she attends the student orientation festival, where she meets the male protagonist for the first time. Despite his cold demeanor and the poor first impression he forms of her, Hodaka feels drawn to him and is determined to get closer. Her attempts to connect with him set the stage for the story’s central emotional conflict and mark a turning point in her daily life. (Source: MANGA MILLION)
