Tangos Ghost

Tamiko lives with her two brothers, her mother and her grandmother. It's your typical family, or so she naively thought. Yet one day she finds out Akira, her older brother, is not her brother at all but the illegitimate child of the famous actress Hanyuu Kaori. To make things even more confusing, Akira's feelings towards her aren't exactly of the sibling kind and because of his persistence she starts feeling love for him as well. The plot becomes even more complicated when Tamiko's classmate Yukari falls for Akira. Yukari though has a connection with Akira that shocks everyone, including herself…

"A mermaid will fall in love with the first human she sees." Shiina is your average grade 8 girl -that is, except for her height, which makes her tower over the other people in her class. She's never met anyone SHE had or wanted to look up to… until a young male teacher begins teaching at her school. Yet because of his good looks and easy demeanor the other girls in her grade have turned him into the resident school idol, and there's little chance of him ever noticing her. That all changes one day when they end up in the same train during rush hour. She's surprised to find that he not only recognizes her but he remembers her name! What could this mean?

Tango is my fiancé. "Ako, when you grow up, you should become Tango's bride." 7-year-old me showed no protest to my grandma's words. However, a traffic accident changed both our fates.
