Ryuji Takasu thought that his ill-fated luck had turned around now that he was in Junior High sitting next to the girl of his dreams, Minori Kushieda. Ryuji was wrong; for after unwittingly crossing the most feared and fearsome girl in school, Taiga Aisaku, everything went off the deep end!

It's taken time, but Ryuji and Taiga have slowly found some common ground and can at least tolerate each other (just a little). The problem is, Fate just doesn't seem to throw Ryuji a bone. Everyone in Ryuji's class is now convinced that he and Taiga are dating--even Minori! And to make matters even more embarrassing, Minori has given Ryuji and Taiga her blessings. How's Ryuji ever going to win Minori's heart now?!

"The biggest high school event of the year has arrived--the class trip! What was meant to be a sunny adventure to Okinawa, has unfortunately turned into a snowy escape to a local ski resort. While Ryuuji's fellow classmates are managing to have fun and make the most of this curveball, Ryuuji's feelings for Taiga and Minori have him miserable and tied up in knots! And just when things couldn't get worse, Taiga has gone missing...and there's a blizzard...

Ryuuji is happy to be with his friends on the first day of junior high school, but is upset when he makes an enemy of Taiga Aisaka, who happens to live next door to Minori Kushieda, a girl he has a secret crush on.
