Synopsis of Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms
To say Mona Kawai is beautiful would be an understatement; she's impressive in every way, and she knows it. At school, boys and girls alike fawn over her, and she accepts it as a natural reaction to her irresistible charm. Until she crosses paths with Medaka Kuroiwa, the boy who seems immune to her overwhelming charisma. She tries her best to talk to him and even increases her sympathy, but try as she might, Mona can't erase Kuroiwa's frown.
Cornered, Mona is forced to use the most devastating weapon in her arsenal: her physical attractiveness. Such drastic measures would leave other boys foaming at the mouth, but Kuroiwa is unfazed by their attempts. Mona doesn't know that the only reason Kuroiwa narrowly refrains from succumbing to his charms is that he's training to be a monk and therefore tries hard not to be dominated by worldly pleasures. While Mona does her best to seduce Kuroiwa, she doesn't realize that his unintentional chivalry can make her fall in love with him.
