(Mischevious Kiss)
Aihara Kotoko, a high schooler, has been in love Irie Naoki for two years- since she saw him at the opening ceremony. The problem is, she's in class F, a class where the not-so-good students go, while he's in class A, where the brighter students are. For the entire two years, she had worked quietly and tried to get into the same class as the genius Naoki. Unfortunately, she fails to do so, and now, it is her third year in high school, and it will be her last year to confess her love.
One day, she picks up the courage to do so, and writes a love letter to him. But, as she tries to give him the letter, she is coldly rejected before he even takes a look it.
Despite her friends telling her that such a person isn't worth her time, she is reluctant to give up her love for Naoki- until he tells her straight to her face that he doesn't like stupid girls. Deeply hurt by his cold words, Kotoko then agrees that such a jerk isn't worth loving.
However, one day, her poorly built house collapses from a level 2 earthquake, and she is forced to live in the house of her father's friend. As fate would have it, it turns out that the house she will be living in belongs to the Irie family!
Will Kotoko be able to live under the same roof as Naoki, and perhaps, change the way he feels about her?
