Story and Art by Kou Fumizuki.

Tina invites everyone to Kyushu to visit the hot springs there. Much to Kaoru's dismay, men and women are allowed to bathe together so he must join his lady friends. When the group arrives at Hakata, Tina's home prefecture, she insists on getting some alone time with Kaoru, and then convinces him to act like her boyfriend!

When the beautiful Aoi stepped into Kaoru's life, he got all of the difficulties of co-habitation with none of the fulfillment. In order to renew their arranged engagement, Kaoru must return to the family he ran away from, and he's not prepared to do that. As if things weren't stressful enough, the new tenant in his building, the Japanese-raised American Tina, tests the limits of Kaoru's gentlemanly restraint with her open flirtation.

Imagine being engaged to a beautiful loving billionaire, living in a posh western style boarding house and being surrounded by sexy flatmates. Sounds like the perfect life, right? For nice guy Kaoru, it's not so easy. He has to keep his engagement to Aoi a secret, struggle with his contempt for his family and do his best to avoid the flirtatious advances of his fellow boarders, all this while under the scrutiny of Aoi's guardian, Miyabi.

When Kaoru runs into his childhood friend Mayu, who is home after her stay in jolly old England, she greets him with a big, wet European-style kiss! The longtime companions share an intense, intimate history together, which causes an upset Aoi to wonder if her fiance's brains are getting caught in his zipper. Filled with feelings of guilt, Kaoru sets out to do the right thing... but where does his heart really lie?

It's time for the flower viewing festival and jealousy is in full bloom. When Tina gets a call from her parents she decides to show Kaoru her favorite place in Japan. However Aoi doesn't know this and is struck with the green sickness when she sees the two together. But that's nothing a little exercise can't fix as the gang heads out to play tennis and Kaoru begins to learn new things about the girls.
