Age: 📚 13+ | 3 Volumes (Ongoing) | Paperback & eBook | Creator: Haruna Harumaki

I'll Never Fall in Love With Amano! is a sharp, playful school romance from creator Haruna Harumaki about academic rivalry, mistaken feelings, and the dangerous game of pretending you don't care. Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series proves that sometimes the person you compete with becomes the person you can't stop thinking about.

Takahide has one goal: be the best. She's worked hard for her position as top student, and she's not about to let anyone outshine her—especially not the effortlessly brilliant Amano. He's aloof, annoyingly talented, and somehow always one step ahead without even seeming to try. It's infuriating.

Then a small confrontation goes sideways, and Amano gets the wrong idea: he thinks Takahide has a crush on him.

She doesn't. Obviously. That would be ridiculous.

But instead of correcting him, Takahide sees an opportunity. If Amano is distracted by romantic notions, maybe she can finally gain the upper hand. She'll play along just enough to throw him off his game. It's a perfect strategy.

Except feelings don't follow strategies. As curiosity turns to genuine interest, and rivalry gives way to something more complicated, Takahide realizes she might have outsmarted herself. The game she started to win is becoming a game she's not sure she wants to end.

I'll Never Fall in Love With Amano! is for everyone who's ever hated someone a little too passionately—and then wondered why.

Perfect for readers who love: Rivals-to-lovers, academic competition, mistaken feelings tropes, strategic heroines, school romance, slow-burn emotional development.
