喧嘩番長 乙女~恋のバトルロワイヤル~ [Kenka Banchou Otome - Koi no Battle Royal] #1

Published under Hakusensha's Hana to Yume Comics imprint, this opening volume of Kenka Banchou Otome – Koi no Battle Royal kicks off what promises to be a lively romantic rivalry with manga art by 島田ちえ (Shimada Chie). The cover wastes no time setting the tone, presenting a pink-haired protagonist sandwiched between two assertive young men — one dark-haired and brooding, the other flashing a wide grin beneath a "FERVENT" headband — all three tangled together in a playful, charged dynamic. It's a punchy first impression for fans of otome-inspired shojo manga where battles and romance collide in equal measure.
