Review: THE YOUNG MASTER'S REVENGE

Shojo manga is full of bad relationships, but what happens when you combine that with one of shojo manga's fluffiest creators? 

THE YOUNG MASTER'S REVENGE (Kimi no Koto nado Zettai ni), by Meca Tanaka.  First published in 2014 and first published in North America in 2018.



PLOT:

As a child, Leo was forced to play with Tenma because her wealthy family owned a fancy department store and Leo's family had a clothing company that wanted to get in good with them.  He mostly got dragged around by Tenma and got nothing for it but mockery from the other kids and turtle bite scars in an awkward place.

Ten years and one extended stay in the US later, Leo's family is fabulously wealthy, Leo is a handsome young teen, and he's ready to enact his revenge.  His plan: seduce Tenma with sweet nothings and princely behavior, only to dump her and leave her in misery.  Those plans get complicated when he learns that Tenma's family went broke and that she's ready to enter into an arranged marriage to ensure her family's future.  Leo's determined that no one and nothing is going to get between him and his revenge, even if it means financially supporting Tenma, teaching her about the world, and saving her from trouble at private school.
