Goodreads Synopsis:

Love’s revenge can be sweet.

When Leo was a young boy, he had his pride torn to shreds by Tenma, a girl from a wealthy background who was always getting him into trouble. Now, years after his father’s successful clothing business has made him the heir to a fortune, he searches out Tenma to enact a dastardly plan—he’ll get his revenge by making her fall in love with him!

Leo has been trying to get the down-to-earth Tenma to fall in love with him, but she remains immune to his advances. When they transfer from the ritzy Genbu Academy to Suzaku Public High School, Prince Barazono issues a challenge that forces Leo to confront his true feelings!

Review:

Tenma discovers that there are public schools, and that she doesn't have to work so hard to afford the private school she's been going to, and immediately transfers. She doesn't quite understand the difference at first, or the rivalry between the private and public schools, since they have to share some field land.

Tenma is rather oblivious to her surroundings, naive, and she doesn't value herself very much. This is something that Leo is trying to fix, to make her aware of, even if he supposedly wants to do the opposite. Of course, Leo ends up saving her a lot, but Tenma has this tenacity about her, this unabashed determination, that equals them out, I think. Though now Leo has a rival who is trying to make him understand/accept his own feelings.

This series is cheesy and cutesy, and it's fun to read.
