Manga: Can't Become the Perfect Prince

Also known as "Oujisama ni Narenai" is the work of Kamon Saeko. Her characters always look beautiful so I quite enjoy the art. I have to warn though, that her characters can be similar from her other works.

So this one-shot I found long ago, is one of those young boys story where the setting is inside the school. This time it's in the library. Yeah...books and book cases. Who's got a fetish for this?


Satonaka (Uke)
He first appeared on the first page of the manga during his confession to "the School Prince." By a glance, he's an aloof guy, look nerd with the glasses and usually serious but he actually works at the school's library. That's where he saw Honda and fell-in-love with him. He observed that Honda is only acting toward the girls and everytime he rejects them, he found it admirable that the girls can be very honest although they already expected to be rejected. That's why he thought he should confess too. But it didn't go right, of course. Although he's been rejected by him, his feelings hasn't changed. He even told him that he'll keep it a secret from the rest about his true behavior. When they became friends, Honda would ask him about fairytale books and he suggested quite a few to him. When the day came that he had to get rid of his eyeglasses, Honda came back to the library with a bunch of girls which hurt him. So when he went inside the library's office, Honda followed and confessed his feelings by making love to him. 

Age: 
17+
Citizenship:
Japanese
Hair: 
Short/Black

Physical Attributes and Personality:
A short boy, younger than Honda, always wearing eyeglasses, and a quite meek guy. He loves reading fairy tales and probably other books as well. Looks like he's quite studious, too. He's also very trustworthy and honest.

Activities/Hobbies:
 He loves reading books and he helps out in the school's library. 


Honda (Seme)


He is known in school as "The School Prince" because of his good looks and "proper" behavior dealing with girls. He's very selfish and only cares about his good looks and status in school. One day, he got confessed by a boy, Satonaka. He was surprised because that was the first time that a guy did it. Faith keeps them, so when he went to the library to return an overdue book, they met the second time. In between their short conversation, he asked him about the books he read and was told "fairytales". He told him immediately that those kind of stories are for children. Thus he was given a book by Satonaka and surprisingly, he became very interested on the subject, thus they became good friends. How his feelings developed for Satonaka, in this one-shot it's very fast. He just realized that one day he likes his honesty and how he flustered when he took off his eyeglasses... Then one day, he just pushed him between books and book case. That's how he confessed.


Age: 
18+
Citizenship:
Japanese
Hair: 
Short/Blonde

Physical Attributes and Personality:
Very handsome and proper that's why he's called "the Prince". But in reality he's just another narcissist. He likes to act like a Prince to hide his real personality to others. He's selfish, arrogant, and quite carefree. After he met Satonaka, love changed him and you can see him as a man more with action than words. 

Activities/Hobbies:
 Active in school activities. He also became a reader of fairy tales due to the influence of Satonaka.
