Seven Seas picked up a number of interesting shojo titles over the courses of the year, and this one might simultaneously be the most problematic yet the most endearing of them all.
CUTIE AND THE BEAST (Pujo to Yaju: JK wa Akyuyaku Wrestler ni Koi Shita Hanashi), by Yuhi Azumi. First published in 2019 and first published in North America in 2020.
PLOT:
Momoka seems like the most put-together girl in her class. None of her classmates would guess that she's actually a big wrestling fan. Her favorite is Kuga, a big, buff heel whom she regularly chats with on Twitter. He's just amazed that he has a female fan at all. When the two finally meet in person, they discover that their feelings run deeper than just celebrity and fan. The only problem is that he's 29 and she's 18.
