Diary of a Female Lead Shujinkou Nikki Vol. 01

Diary of a Female Lead Shujinkou Nikki Vol. 01

The critically acclaimed meta shojo about taking charge of your own (love) life!

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?

Series Overiew: My mother is a popular shojo manga artist, and my brother is a good at sports and is popular at school. Compared to that, I have a twisted personality with low self-esteem. Someone like me ended up having to help my mother with her shojo manga together with my brother’s friend…!?
