No shojo romance, no matter how low-key or strange it could be, could compare to what came out this year from the mind of the woman who gave us Beastars.
DRIP DRIP (Bota Bota), by Paru Itagaki. First published in 2020 and first published in North America in 2022.
PLOT:
Ever since she was a girl, Mako Higuri gets massive nosebleeds whenever she touches something dirty. That includes literal trash, money, and in particular men. It's extremely frustrating for her, when all she wants to do is to lose her virginity and enjoy a normal romantic relationship for once. It doesn't help that every man she tries to seduce ends up being some sort of weirdo. Will her luck turn around when she meets an old classmate who doesn't immediately make her nose gush?
