Synopsis
Model Shinobu fakes a relationship with her crush to escape a gang leader, unaware of their long-awaited plan.
Aihara Shinobu is a high school student and lovely model. One day in Shibuya, she's handled roughly by a gang leader named Kyou, who insists he will make her his woman unless she can produce a boyfriend. Shinobu turns to her unrequited love, a true gentleman named Hibiki, the utter opposite of Kyou, and begs him to play the part. But what Shinobu doesn't realize is how long Kyou and Hibiki have waited for this moment... Includes the one-shot XXX Kiss Mark: The type of boy Kumi hates most is the kind who's pushy and flighty. When she rejects such a boy, he forcibly steals her first kiss, and at that embarrassing moment it is Miyazawa Takafumi from her class who captures it on film. Takafumi, Japan's #1 school age photographer, tells her that if she wants the film she'll become his model for a photo contest. He acts like the kind of boy Kumi normally hates, and since her awful first kiss she hates kissing, but Takafumi's kisses leave a different kind of mark...
