Goodreads Synopsis:

A strong-willed high school girl and a hot young scion of a business empire can’t help trying to outwit each other every chance they get… But could these opposites be conning themselves out of the perfect match?!

After her older sister refuses to go to an arranged marriage meeting with Takane Saibara, the heir to a vast business fortune, high schooler Hana Nonomura agrees to be her stand-in to save face for the family. But when these two utter opposites pair up, get ready for some sparks to fly!

When Hana’s childhood friend Okamon confesses that he’s in love with her, Hana goes into a total panic! Can she possibly return his feelings? And once Takane finds out, all bets are off on how he’ll react to the news!

Review:

Okamon's confession throws Hana and Takane for a loop in this volume. It takes Hana completely by surprise (cause she's dense), and it makes Takane consider their current relationship and how it mistakenly might be affecting Hana.
After all of that drama, we get to see how Takane and Nicola met. And it's super adorable. Nicola is such a happy-go-lucky guy, he loves everyone and doesn't even mean to be a playboy. He just thinks everyone is great. And then he meet Takane. His determination here makes perfect sense, and really explains how they became friends. He had to wear Takane down.
Things kind of calm down in the second half of the volume, up until that ending. Super cute, though.
This series is honestly one of my favorites at this point. Whenever a new volume arrives, I need to read it immediately. And I really get a kick out of the comedy in this volume, and how Takane and Hana tease each other. It's just a lot of fun.
