A Clumsy Prince
About
There are two people in our grade who are incredibly popular: Guest's best friend, Akane, and a boy named Issei. Guest is used to boys falling for Akane instead of her. One day, when Guest loses her pencil case, Issei—a boy from the next class she's never spoken to—happens to lend her a pen. However, Issei seems to be looking at Akane. Guest immediately jumps to conclusions. "You like Akane, don't you? Don't worry, I'll support you!" To which Issei replies: "In that case... would you mind giving me some advice?" Guest is now his love consultant! But who is it that Issei actually likes?
