It Takes More Than a Pretty Face to Fall in Love Vol. 1
Sana Chiken cares about looks above nearly everything else. She starts at Minowa General Highschool with one goal: to find her ideal man.
She finds him in Ugo Kanato, a senior with striking good looks and a habit of skipping class. His absences have brought him close to expulsion, and Sana has no intention of losing him.
She offers a deal. If the two of them can bring the school's struggling social media account up to 100,000 followers, Kanato gets to stay enrolled. The campaign puts them side by side, and the project is the reason they spend time together at all.
This is a school romance in manga form, and the first volume opens with a shallow crush. As the pair work together, trade barbs and slowly soften toward each other, the attraction turns into a relationship with some real feeling behind it. The pace is gradual rather than fast.
The series ran in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume and was adapted into a live-action film.
