About Megane, Tokidoki, Yankee-kun

Megane, Tokidoki, Yankee-kun is a romantic comedy written and illustrated by Naruki. It began serialization in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Friend magazine in January 2021, accumulating eleven compiled volumes in the Japanese print market.

The story follows Momose, a high school girl who just wants a quiet school life away from troublemakers, delinquents, or vandals. Things seem perfect when she meets Ichikura, a black-haired, bespectacled boy with an innocent look who appears to be the kindest guy around. However, her illusion shatters when she discovers he was one of the most feared gang members in middle school. Although Ichikura insists he’s changed and wants to leave his past behind, his short fuse and tendency to get into fights will test Momose’s patience. She must decide whether to keep his secret as chaos unfolds between them.
