I Hate You More Than Anyone

Kazuha Akiyoshi is the eldest of six children. Highly responsible and irresistibly cute, she is also something of a tomboy who never allows her softer side to show through –– until she meets Mizushima, the first guy to treat her like a girl. Kazuha has her first real crush; will it be reciprocated? Then there's Sugimoto, an older guy who wants to be an important part of her life — but he's the one who Kazuha hates more than anyone!

One day, while waiting for the train, she finds herself drawn to a blonde-haired boy whose pained expression reminds her of herself on the day Ishida-kun broke up with her. It turns out he had been rejected by someone he loved as well. With this common connection and the talks at the train station, she begins to open her heart to him.
