Every Girl Has Her Thorns

Akira is a young man struggling with his feelings for a crush, feeling too plain to be noticed. In his desperation, he turns to his neighbor, the cute and older Maki, hoping she can teach him how to become more desirable. What Akira doesn't realize is that he is exactly the type of man Maki is attracted to.

Seizing the opportunity, Maki decides to take his 'education' into her own hands, embarking on a series of teasing and intimate lessons. The manga explores various encounters where seemingly harsh or distant exteriors hide secretly sweet and passionate hearts.
