Love and Heart Vol. 10
Koi to Shinzou has been published in English as Love and Heart by Yen Press since March 30, 2021.
The romance thriller manga Love and Heart. It centers around a girl named Yoh who discovers that her boyfriend Noguchi is cheating on her. She breaks it off with him but it causes a scene. An insanely hot-looking boy helps break up the fight and heads off. When Yoh returns home, she realizes that she lost her key. Suddenly, the door opens and that boy from earlier is in her house!
His name is Haruma Hirose and, apparently, he used to live in the house across the street from her. He moved to America and is an acquaintance with Yoh’s mother Ryoh who is also working overseas in Seattle… the same town that Haruma moved to. He decided to go back to Japan to study and was given a key by Ryoh so that he could stay with Yoh. His sudden appearance shocks Yoh but he seems nice enough so she lets it go for now.
Things get a bit weird when a stalker begins to take photos of her and Haruma together. A fake online account was also created and weird texts start coming in. Yoh takes the matters into her own hands and finds the culprit. I won’t spoil who it is; however, they have been dealt with leaving Yoh and Haruma in peace. Despite that getting resolved, there is something off about Haruma that Yoh can’t put her finger on. They end up calling Yoh’s mother who vouches for Haruma and that puts Yoh’s mind at ease.
Despite that, the volume closes out with Haruma needing to “take care of something at school.” Once he’s done, a few things that didn’t add up begin to!
