Last Game Vol. 05

HEART-POUNDING PLOY

Yanagi and Kujou’s trip to an amusement park begins with a haunted house, where Yanagi offers to hold her hand if she’s scared. But with Momoka and Souma (and Yoshida-senpai) meddling, something is bound to go awry! Meanwhile, watching Momoka and Yanagi together is making Kujou feel uneasy…and her changing behavior is beginning to change Souma, too.

Series Overview: In elementary school, the rich and spoiled Yanagi Naoto was known for excelling in both studies and sports. But then he suffered the first setback of his life when Kujou Mikoto, a girl from a poor family, transferred to his school and performed better than Naoto at every turn. Reeling from this unforgivable blow to his pride, Naoto decided that he had to make Mikoto lose at something…by making her lose her heart to him, which he could then break! Now that they’re both in college, will Naoto finally be able to win Mikoto’s affections–or will he lose this final game with her?
