Diary of a Female Lead: Shujinkou Nikki Vol. 8

THE POOL DATE Aoi and Sena have gotten through their first fight, leaving their relationship stronger than ever! But there are more things than disagreements that can come between a couple—like a lack of clothing at the pool. Having recently gotten a bit more hot and heavy, both Aoi and Sena realize that the abundance of skin-on-skin contact that comes with wearing only swimsuits might be a little too exciting for them. Perhaps the only thing to do is embrace the feeling! Meanwhile, Aoi’s friend Koto wrestles with her growing feelings for Itsuki. What’s in store for the beta couple?
Series Overview: Tsujimura Aoi wouldn’t consider herself a main character by any means. Meek and insecure, she’s constantly alone, unlike her athletic older brother, Itsuki, or her mother, a famous shojo mangaka. Aoi doesn’t need to be the heroine, though—all she wants is a true friend. But Itsuki disagrees, and when he brings home Aoi’s effortlessly cool classmate Mizusawa Sena, the two concoct a plan to teach Aoi all about love, using shojo manga as their guide. Can this drab side character become an unparalleled female lead by falling for the perfect guy?
