2. Romance no Rinkaku (ロマンスの輪郭); 2007-01
When commuting to school one day, Tsuda tripped and spilled the entire contents of her bag on the street in front of the bus. Flustered and embarrassed, she didn't catch a glimpse of the kind person who helped her gather her things, nor did she even thank him. Feeling guilty ever since, she's tried to find him, but with no luck so far...(MAL)
Baka updates: Tsuda always stares at Takasuga. But when their eyes meet, Takasuga glares at her with scary eyes. She only stares at him because she remembers a day when she was going on the bus and dropped her bag. She quickly tried to pick it up and found a guy who helped her. When she got on the bus she said "Thank You" but the doors were already closed. She was determined that Takasuga was the guy, but if he isn't...

3. Watashi ga Watashi de Aru Tame ni: Nagai Yume (私が私であるために―長い夢―); 2006-11
Hikaru first met Mashima, a hair-stylist student, when he ran into her on the street and offered to cut Hikaru's hair for free. Hikaru's friends warned that hair-stylists are notorious players, but Hikaru meets Mashima again anyway and feels even more attracted to him. Can Hikaru trust Mashima enough to tell him everything?(MAL)
Baka updates: Hikaru wakes up every morning and feels that every day's going to be a long dream. This is because, though she has the heart of a woman, she was born as and has the body of a man. She soon meets a hairstylist, Mashima Eiji, who asks her to be his hair model. When she tells her friends this, they warn her not to fall in love with him because hairstylists are known to "play" with their clients. But she can't stop thinking about him! Is he just going to play around with her, or will he take her seriously if she confesses her secret?
