THE PRINCE'S ROMANCE GAMBIT (Oji ga Watashi wo Akiramenai!), by Nikki Asada. First published in 2015 and first published in North America in 2018.
PLOT:
Koume Yoshida is an ordinary middle-class girl at the extremely elite and wealthy Okan Academy. She never expected to encounter the school prince Hatsuyuki Ichimonji up close, much less while he was eating lunch in the girls' bathroom. He ends up fascinated by her commoner ways, much to the consternation of his student bodyguards. Koume is mostly exhausted by his attempts at being "normal," but she slowly finds herself falling for the sincere boy underneath it all.
