Seigi Nakata, a Japanese economics student, is working at the shop of the beautiful jeweler, Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian. Today's customers are an elderly couple, the Tamuras. To celebrate their thirtieth anniversary, they came to Richard's shop to find an imperial topaz. But something seems off about this cute couple...
When Seigi Nakata rescued a handsome young jewelry appraiser from a group of drunken assailants, he got more than he bargained for! The appraiser is Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, a brilliant and mysterious British jewelry expert. Seigi hires him to appraise a family heirloom...and that is just the beginning. Together, they unlock the secret messages hidden in the hearts of precious stones--and those who possess them.
Seigi Nakata is a second-year student at Kasaba University who is majoring in economics. He works part-time at a jewelry shop run by the breathtakingly beautiful jeweler Richard. One day, while Seigi is talking to his schoolmate (and crush) Tanimoto, he meets her good friend Shinkai. Through a twist of fate, Seigi finds himself wrapped up with mysterious rumors of a cursed emerald at Shinkai's ballet troupe!
After helping out the impossibly elegant Englishman Richard Ranasinghe de Vulpian, Seigi accepts a job in Richard's jewelry store. One day, Takatsuki, a flashy-looking host, comes in looking for something to impress his clients. Takatsuki's eyes light on an amethyst, at which point Richard relates to him the legend behind the stone. What is the jewel's story, and how does it affect the haughty host's decision?
Seigi, an ordinary university student, works at a jewelry shop run by the decidedly not-ordinary Richard. One day, a young boy named Hajime walks in, takes out a small cat's eye gemstone, and asks Richard for a matching stone. What story lies behind this particular request?
Fumi, desperate to work things out with Akatsuki, admits to him her most heartfelt thoughts. In response, Akatsuki puts his feelings for Fumi into words too. It seems like their happiest days are finally ahead of them!
After Fumi gets dragged into the cultural festival’s beauty pageant, she finds a silver lining in the handsome upperclassman Eito Kuratsuki—a guy who, despite his popularity, has his fair share of love troubles. But when a disgruntled Akatsuki catches the two walking home together, Fumi is horrified he might take it the wrong way! With feelings stirring between Yoh and Isshin as well, this cultural festival is bound to be one to remember! This volume also contains a side story for Mika Yamamori’s previous work, Daytime Shooting Star!
Fumi has finally realized how she feels about Akatsuki—only to be met with a rival for his affections! Sure, she may have shared some tender moments with him, but how is she to compete with Katsura, an adept working woman determined to snag the handsome and inexplicably popular author? Not to mention, Katsura seems to have quite the lead already, being knowledgeable in both Japanese and the Kibikino family history. Still, if Akatsuki is willing to give Fumi a kiss on the forehead (in public!), that means she has a fighting chance...right?
Akatsuki Kibikino may be a celebrated novelist, but putting his feelings into words has always been a struggle. Kaneishi’s blatant advances toward Fumi put Akatsuki in the foulest mood—that much is obvious. The reason he’s bothered by the thought of Fumi liking someone else, however, continues to elude him...That is, until there is an unexpected confession from Fumi at the summer festival! With her feelings finally out in the open, how will he respond?
Akatsuki finally responds to Fumi’s confession-by asking her out! Will Fumi’s heart be able to handle it as the two navigate the ups and downs of their new relationship?
Fumi Oono, second-year high-school student. Stuck with the debts of her father, she needs a job—fast. While she did indeed manage to find one as a housekeeper for THE Akatsuki Kibikino, it leaves much to be desired. After all, the novelist has a mean glare and an even worse attitude...And on top of that, she has to live with him?!
When Fumi started her job as the live-in housekeeper for acclaimed and very crabby author Akatsuki Kibikino, she never thought in a million years that she’d get along with him...yet here she is, heart fluttering at every tiny gesture! But she’s got no time to dwell on what it could all mean—with her dad out of commission despite the loan looming over his head and the new kid at school treating her like a gopher, Fumi’s got more than enough on her plate already!
Summer vacation arrives with Fumi’s heart still in turmoil. Despite this, she accompanies Akatsuki and his editor Gorou on a trip to Kyoto—but when Gorou suddenly has to leave, Fumi winds up alone with the object of her affections!
