Ugly duckling Ai has blossomed into a swan, but looks are only skin deep. Will Ai's inner confidence catch up with her outer beauty so she can overcome here Doubt ?
Just as Ai begins to feel secure in her budding relationship with Sô, she hears a rumor that Sô isn't solely devoted to her. She doesn't want to believe it, but when one of Sô's other girlfriends--a beautiful, elegant college student named Kyoka--arrives on the scene, Ai can no longer avoid the truth and is thrown into a tailspin of confusion. Was it naive of Ai to think that Sô could only have eyes for her? Is she ready to swallow her pride and compete with Kyoka for Sô's attention? Or will she decide that no guy--not even Sô--is worth the hassle and humiliation of sharing him with other women?

This volume was a lot of fun & had some interesting characters as well as story lines. I also really enjoyed the character profiles that the author puts at the bottoms of the pages.
