Crunchyroll Manga explains what's special about this one
I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS ONE, because Crunchyroll users get to create the English title and it'll be hand picked by Kodansha! That's right, guys! I'll be posting more details along with the contest AND first chapter of the manga on 9/3 @ 5pm PST with the remainder of the catalog and next simul-pub coming to Crunchyroll 9/18 @ 5pm PST!
Kae Serinuma is what you'd call a "fujoshi." When she sees boys getting along with each other, she loves to indulge in wild fantasies! One day her favorite anime character dies and the shock causes her to lose a ton of weight. Then four hot guys at school ask her out, but that isn't exciting to her at all — she'd rather see them date each other!
Also, remember that there's an announcement coming up for this series in its Japanese home magazine.
