Tonicaku Kawaii Abstract
Nasa Yuzaki is determined to leave his name in the history books. He takes first place in the national mock exam and is aiming for a respected high school. He is sure that he has planned his whole life. Destiny, however, is an fickle mistress. Driving home on a snowy night, Nasa's gaze falls on an incomparable beauty across the street. Mesmerized, Nasa attempts to approach her, only to be surprised by an oncoming truck.
Luckily, the girl's quick action saves his life. Bleeding next to an ambulance, he watches the girl drive away in the moonlight, reminiscent of Princess Kaguya heading to the moon. Refusing to let this chance encounter end, he forces his crippled body to chase after her and asks her out. Shocked by his recklessness and sheer determination, the girl accepts his confession on one condition: they can only be together if he marries her!
