In return for a business loan of 50 million yen, the prestigious Kamiya family gave their daughter Haine away to the Otomiya family. Haine, now an Otomiya, is appointed to the student council of the exclusive Imperial Academy, a private school for the aristocracy. Even though Haine is of proper lineage to be on the council, she finds herself struggling to find her place among the many secrets of its elite members, especially those of the president who holds her heart--Shizumasa Togu, aka "the Emperor."

 

Students at Imperial Academy are lining up for the "Confess Your Love" rally, during which students announce the name of the person they love to the entire student body, hoping to win over that person's heart. Maora wants to confess to Maguri, but Maguri already has plans to confess to Shizumasa!

About the Author

Arina Tanemura began her manga career in 1996 at the early age of 18, when her short stories debuted in Ribon magazine. Tanemura gained notoriety with the 1997 publication of I-O-N, a high school romance with a supernatural twist. From 1998 to 2000, she worked on the popular series Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, about a young girl who is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, followed by Time Stranger Kyoko in 2000-2001 and Full Moon o Sagashite in 2002, and then later the wildly popular series Gentlemen's Alliance +. Despite Tanemura's intentions to draw in a style that makes her stories difficult to animate, both Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Full Moon o Sagashite have been adapted into TV series.

In this volume, maguri's love picks up, and so is maora. I don't want to give spoilers, so I'll say this, this volume reveals a little more to the plot.

This review is from: Gentlemen's Alliance +, Vol. 4 (Paperback)

The school festival is being held and it includes an interesting exhibit... a stage that lets you declare your love to the object of your desire. Everyone has decided to brave the odds and tell the people they love exactly how they feel. Haine decides to prolong it and attends the school ball with Shizumasa, the boy of her past who encouraged her to change her life. Shizumasa is not the man that Haine used to know in her youth, he's become brooding and despondent, but the Shizumasa who attends the ball more resembles the man that Haine fell in love with, and he has many surprises in store for her.

This series is so good, I am reading each volume in a sitting. I just acquired 5 and I can't wait to read it. Oh the love triangles abound, it's so good!
