Star Brighter Than the Sun, Vol. 1

Sae Iwata has always been taller and stronger than the average girl, and her childhood friend Koki Kamishiro used to be smaller and weaker than the average boy — until a growth spurt right before high school turns him tall, athletic, and suddenly the most popular boy in school. As the two end up classmates again, Sae has to figure out whether their old friendship can survive Koki's new status, and whether the feelings she's carried since childhood might finally be reciprocated — if she isn't too late.

Kazune Kawahara, creator of My Love Story!! and Ao Haru Ride, opens a shojo romance about a lifelong crush colliding with unexpected popularity.
