story :
The main character is Yukino Miyazawa, a Japanese high school freshman who is the envy of her classmates because of her good grades and immaculate appearance. However, this is just a charade she maintains to win praise—at home and in private, she is spoiled, stubborn, and a slob, and studies relentlessly instead of spending time with her sisters.

Her position is threatened by Soichiro Arima, a handsome young man who also gets top grades. Yukino considers his very existence to be a challenge to her class leadership positions and a threat to the praise on which she thrives, and so she vows to destroy him. But after some misunderstandings, they see past each other's facades and fall in love. The series follows their relationship as they are tested by school, family problems, and friends.

The manga goes on to cover the school's annual cultural festival (including a play written by Aya and performed by Yukino and friends), the revelation of the Arima family's past secrets, and the backstories of many other characters. The manga ends in the future when the protagonists (and their family) are in their 30s, just like how Yukino's parents start out in the story.

Story :
This is the story of Riiko, a young girl who seems to have no luck with boys. Everyone she confesses to ends up turning her down. Her neighbor (and childhood friend and classmate) Soushi's constant teasing also starts to go on her nerves, even though in the end he's only concerned about her.

Life changes when Riiko finds a cell phone in the park and the owner calls her on it and asks her to return it to him. He turns out to be a young salesman with a strange fashion sense. As thanks for returning her phone he asks her what Riiko wishes for. She replies: "A boyfriend!"

The salesman called Gaku Namikiri only smiles and gives her the address to a secret website.In the evening Riiko takes a look at that website and ends up in a place called "Lovers Shop". She clicks on "Nightly" and a picture of a gorgeous young man shows up. Best thing is that you can try him out for three days. Against better judgment Riiko orders him.

The next day a huge box is delivered to her apartment and out of it falls the young man she ordered the night before... naked. After finding the instructions she awakens him with a kiss. He smiles at her and says: "Hello, girlfriend!"

story :
The story concerns the progress of the Mizuho High School basketball team as it attempts to win the prefectural championship. It also deals heavily on the relationship between the players on the team, especially the two main characters Kazuhiko Aikawa and Takumi Fujiwara.

At the outset of the manga the team is in trouble, as there are not enough players to play a game. Additionally, the coach has left after a conflict with Fujiwara. However, Aikawa transfers to Mizuho and through his enthusiasm and sheer love of the game, infuses the few remaining members with a sense of purpose.

Despite the fact that there are only five of them (i.e., they have no substitutes), they manage to get the coach of the girls' team to coach them as well. At first, she seems very strict, but later reveals her attachment to her "Dear Boys". Together, they do their best to make their dreams come true.

The manga is not only focused on the Mizuho team, but also on several rival teams. In fact, the mangaka spends a bit of time developing the characters of other teams' members.
