Reina Shinonome knows better than to trust boys like Aomine Daiki. Basketball prodigies with pretty smiles, dirty magazines stuffed under their beds, and a habit of comparing girls like stats on a scoreboard? Hard pass. So when her transfer to Touou throws her directly into the orbit of the Generation of Miracles’ strongest player, Reina keeps him at arm’s length — no matter how often he appears beside her after practice, steals her convenience store snacks, or looks at her like he’s trying to solve a problem nobody else can see. The problem is, Aomine’s used to girls liking him easily. Reina doesn’t. And the more she rejects the version of him everyone accepts, the more obsessed he becomes with proving there’s something underneath all the ego worth loving. Too bad Reina’s already convinced he’ll hurt her eventually.
